A “gummy smile” occurs when the upper lip lifts too high when smiling, exposing more gum tissue than desired. This is often caused by an overactive upper lip muscle rather than tooth or gum structure.
Using carefully placed Botox® or similar neuromodulators, we can gently relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip. This allows the lip to rest slightly lower when smiling — creating a more balanced, confident, and natural-looking smile.
This Botox® for gummy smile treatment is subtle, conservative, and designed to enhance harmony without changing your natural expression.
Many patients notice improvement within a few days, with results typically lasting 3–4 months.
At Sarah Palmer Botox, gummy smile Botox® is approached with precision, restraint, and a deep understanding of facial balance.
Dr. Palmer uses a gentle, conservative technique to ensure your smile still looks like you — just softer, more harmonious, and naturally confident.
Every gummy smile treatment plan is individualized. We carefully assess how your lip moves when you smile and tailor the placement and dosage to achieve subtle, refined results.
