How many units of Botox
for gummy smile reduction?

The amount of Botox units is dependent on a patient’s individual case, the amount of botox needed is varied. Botox is usually injected on each side of the mouth with 2-3 units being injected per side. If you do need more units, then it is advised to wait for a follow up consultation two weeks after your first appointment, rather than injecting more units in one session. 

Treatment Options

We offer personalised treatment plans to address gummy smiles, to your unique facial anatomy. Our experienced practitioners may recommend the following options:

1. Botox for Gummy Smile

Botox injections can be strategically administered to relax the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip excessively when smiling. By reducing the upward movement of the lip, Botox helps minimise the gum exposure, thus, creating a more harmonious smile.

2. Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers can be used to the shape of the lips, reducing the prominence of the gum when smiling and by adding volume to the lips, fillers create a fuller appearance, effectively balancing the proportions of your smile.

3. Laser Gum Contouring

Laser gum contouring is a minimally procedure that involves reshaping the gum line to reduce gum exposure and create a more proportionate smile. This technique removes excess gum tissue, revealing more of the teeth and enhancing your smile’s aesthetic.

benefits

The benefits from your gummy smile treatment extend way beyond the physical. Even though the treatment will improve your appearance, it will do so much more than that. It will restore the self-esteem that was missing, so you can live a fuller, more confident life.

PREPARATION AND AFTERCARE

Generally, when treating gummy smile with Botox, we will need you to return after a period of 3 months for a follow up appointment. The more treatments you receive, can lead to more effective results that last even longer. Recovery is immediate, however, it may take some time for your to get used to the restricted movement in your lip, but your unwanted gummy smile problem will be resolved.
