Gummy smile
What is Gummy Smile cosmetic treatment?
Our smile can reflect our emotion, character and beauty. Every smile is unique and it is defined by the combination of lips, teeth and the extent of gingival display. Showing excessive gum when smiling can be undesirable, creating insecurity. Often, these individuals shy away from smiling in social gathering or when taking photos.
Gummy Smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, is when more gum is shown whilst smiling. The treatment helps reduce the excessive display of gums showing when smiling.

HOW IT WORKS
How gummy smile treatment works
Gummy smile treatment works by carefully relaxing the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip too high when you smile. When these muscles are overactive, more gum is exposed than desired.
Small, precise doses are placed into targeted points around the upper lip. This reduces the upward pull of the lip, allowing it to sit in a more natural position when smiling.
The result is a more balanced smile, where the teeth remain visible but excessive gum display is reduced — without affecting your natural expression.
