ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENTS
Gummy Smile Treatment
Showing gum when you smile is completely normal. If you feel you show more than you’d like, there may be different reasons for it. We’ll help you understand what’s contributing to your smile before discussing any options.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
What is a gummy smile treatment?
“Gummy smile treatment” is muscle relaxing treatment. It isn’t one single approach that works for everyone. The amount of gum visible when you smile can be influenced by your upper-lip movement, your lip shape, your teeth and your gums.
We’ll look at how your smile moves and listen to what you’d like to change. In some cases, an aesthetic approach may be worth discussing. In others, a dentist may be better placed to advise you.
Our gummy smile treatment is similar to our lip flip as they both target the upper lip, but they have different goals.
WHAT IT HELPS
What can gummy smile treatment help with?
If upper-lip movement is contributing to the amount of gum you see when you smile, there may be an aesthetic option to consider. The right approach depends on the cause, and it won’t correct every concern involving the teeth or gums. We also want your smile to continue feeling like yours. We’ll talk about the change you have in mind and be honest about whether it’s realistic.

FAQS
Common questions about gummy smiles
What causes a gummy smile?
There can be more than one reason. Your upper lip may lift noticeably when you smile, or the appearance may relate to the position of your teeth and gums. That’s why we look at your smile rather than assuming everyone needs the same treatment.
Is gummy smile treatment the same as a lip flip?
The two are sometimes discussed together because both involve the upper lip, but they have different goals. A lip flip is usually considered when someone wants more of their upper lip to show; a gummy smile concern is about how much gum shows.
Should I speak to a dentist about my gummy smile?
Possibly. If your teeth or gums are the main reason for the appearance you’re noticing, dental advice may be more helpful than an aesthetic treatment. We’ll tell you if that seems to be the case.
Can I get a gummy smile treatment at Kiss Aesthetics?
Some options involving upper-lip movement are prescription-only. If one is being considered, an appropriate prescriber would need to assess whether it is suitable. Your assessment may instead point towards a different option or dental advice.
