Gummy smile treatment
A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip rises too high. Our specialised treatment uses small amounts of muscle relaxant to gently lower the upper lip, creating a more balanced smile that showcases your teeth without over-exposing the gums.

Enhancing your smile through subtle muscle relaxation
By precisely targeting the elevator muscles of the lip, we can ensure the lip sits at an aesthetically pleasing level. This allows you to smile naturally and confidently without the need for invasive oral surgery.
