Let’s be honest—smiles are powerful. They connect us, define our first impressions, and express everything from confidence to kindness. But for those living with a gummy smile, that expression can feel restricted, overly exposed, or out of balance.
At The London Cosmetic Clinic, we believe no one should have to hide their smile. Enter: the modern, non-surgical solution for gummy smiles that is as subtle as it is transformative. Spoiler alert—it doesn’t involve scalpels, downtime, or exaggerated changes.
What Is a Gummy Smile, Really?
A “gummy smile” is more than a catchy term—it refers to the overexposure of gum tissue when smiling, often more than 2–3mm. While completely harmless medically, it can make people feel self-conscious or overly animated when laughing or posing for photos.
But here’s the thing: there’s no single cause, and certainly no one-size-fits-all solution.
Why Gummy Smile Treatment Deserves Your Attention
Most people don’t realise that gummy smiles can now be corrected non-surgically, with precise aesthetic medicine and facial harmonisation techniques. This isn’t about changing your smile—it’s about enhancing your facial balance, subtly and naturally.
✅ No surgery
✅ No downtime
✅ Natural-looking results
✅ Tailored to your facial anatomy
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
- Overactive upper lip muscles (especially the levator labii superioris)
- Excessive gum tissue (gingival hypertrophy)
- Short or worn teeth
- Vertical maxillary excess (overgrowth of the upper jaw)
- High lip line or thin upper lip
At The London Cosmetic Clinic, our first step is always a comprehensive facial and dental assessment, ensuring your treatment is suited to the exact cause—not just the symptom.
Botox for Gummy Smiles – The Science of Subtlety
One of the most effective non-surgical options? Targeted botulinum toxin injections. Don’t let the term throw you—this isn’t about freezing your face. It’s about fine-tuning muscle activity to create a more balanced, elegant smile.
How it works:
We precisely inject a small amount of Botox into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. This reduces excessive elevation when you smile, minimising gum exposure without affecting your ability to speak or express yourself naturally.
The result? A softer, more confident smile—minus the overexposure.
This Is More Than Cosmetic—It’s Psychological
According to multiple studies in aesthetic psychology, people with gummy smiles report higher rates of smile dissatisfaction and lower confidence in social settings. Some even avoid laughing fully or posing in photos.
When we treat a gummy smile, we’re not just adjusting muscle activity—we’re helping clients reclaim their freedom of expression.
