Smiling is one of the most powerful expressions we have, but for some, a "gummy smile" can cause self-consciousness and impact confidence. The good news is that modern advancements in dentistry provide innovative solutions, and one such groundbreaking option is the use of Botulinum Neurotoxin. In this blog post, we'll explore how this treatment can help transform gummy smiles, providing a simple and non-invasive path to a more confident and radiant you.
Understanding Gummy Smiles:
A gummy smile is characterised by an excessive display of gum tissue when a person smiles. While it's entirely natural, some individuals feel uneasy about their gummy smiles, affecting their overall self-esteem. Common causes include an overactive upper lip, excessive gum tissue, or an increase in the lower face height.
Enter Botulinum Neurotoxin:
Traditionally known for its cosmetic applications in treating wrinkles, Botulinum Neurotoxin has expanded its horizons to dentistry. When strategically injected into specific facial muscles, it helps relax the upper lip, reducing its elevation during a smile. This controlled treatment results in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile, effectively addressing gummy smiles.
The Treatment Process:
Botulinum Neurotoxin treatments for gummy smiles are minimally invasive and typically quick, making them a convenient option for those seeking results without downtime. During a consultation, your dentist will assess your smile and discuss your goals, creating a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique facial anatomy. The treatment consists of two mall injections with minimal discomfort into the appropriate facial muscles and results will appear after two weeks. Results will usually last up to 3 months.
If you're curious about whether Botulinum Neurotoxin is the right solution for your gummy smile, a consultation with our clinician is the first step. These consultations offer a valuable opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and understand the potential benefits of the treatment.
