Gummy Smile Treatment
Reducing how much gum shows when you smile — by toxin, gum contouring, or other dental work — only after the cause is identified.
Overview
A gummy smile is a description, not a diagnosis. Short teeth, extra gum tissue, a hyperactive lip, a vertical maxilla, or a mix of those can all show too much pink. Botox can quiet a high lip for months. A gingivectomy or crown-lengthening changes the tooth–gum line. Veneers that only lengthen teeth without addressing the lip will look fake. Jaw issues belong with a surgeon, not a filler appointment. Meridia will not sell one injection as a permanent “Hollywood” fix.
Who it may be suitable for
- Adults bothered by gum display whose cause can be shown on examination and photographs
- Patients willing to hear that toxin, gum surgery, or no treatment at all may be the honest option
Techniques
- Neuromodulator to the lip elevators when indicated
- Gum contouring or restorative lengthening when the tooth–gum line is the problem
Procedure timeline
01
Smile analysis
Rest, speech, and full smile are photographed. Lip length and gum margins are measured.
02
Staged care
Toxin, if used, is reviewed before any irreversible gum or ceramic work.
Recovery
- Toxin can feel odd when you speak for a short period
- Gum surgery needs a soft diet and careful brushing until the tissue settles
Expected process
- 1. Share photos, medical history, and travel constraints with a coordinator
- 2. A clinician reviews suitability before any itinerary is confirmed
- 3. Transfers, hotel nights, and appointments are arranged if you choose a coordinated package
Is this treatment right for me?
This is not a medical diagnosis. Final suitability requires professional evaluation.

Questions
Only when a high lip is the main cause. Extra gum or short clinical crowns need dental surgery or restorations.
Longer ceramics can help short teeth. They will not drop a hyperactive lip and they can look horsey if that is ignored.
