Enhance Your Smile with Confidence

Gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth while smiling. While harmless, it can create an imbalanced look and affect smiling confidence. Many individuals seek non-surgical gummy smile treatments to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetic smile.

At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, we offer two effective, non-invasive solutions for gummy smile correction:

What is a gummy smile and what are its symptoms?

A gummy smile is characterized by excessive gum visibility when smiling—typically more than 2-3 millimeters above the teeth. While every smile is unique, common signs include:

Excess Gum Tissue

More gum than teeth is visible when smiling.

Uneven Gum-to-Teeth Ratio

The smile appears imbalanced.

Short or Small Teeth Appearance

Teeth may seem smaller due to gum overgrowth.

Hyperactive Lip Movement

The lip muscles lift higher than usual, exposing more gums.

Jaw Protrusion

A prominent upper jaw (maxilla) can contribute to excess gum display.

What causes a gummy smile?

Several factors influence gum visibility in a smile, including:

Hyperactive Upper Lip Muscles

Overactive lip muscles lift excessively when smiling.

Excess Gum Tissue

Overgrown gums extend beyond the natural gum line.

Small or Short Teeth

Some individuals naturally have shorter teeth that make gums appear larger.

Jaw Structure

A prominent upper jaw can push the gums forward, creating a gummy smile.

Fortunately, these concerns can be effectively treated with non-surgical solutions like Botox and dermal fillers.

Non-Surgical Treatments for a Balanced Smile

At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, we provide two highly effective non-invasive treatments for gummy smile correction:

Botox for Gummy Smile Correction

Botox is injected into the lip muscles, specifically targeting the ones responsible for excessive lip elevation when smiling. This relaxes the muscles, preventing them from lifting too high and exposing too much gum tissue.

Dermal Fillers for Gummy Smile

Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume to the upper lip, subtly increasing fullness. This enhances lip contours, covering more of the gums for a proportional and natural smile.

Both treatments are quick, non-invasive, and customized for natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
