A beautiful smile is one of the first things people notice, but for some, showing too much gum tissue when smiling can cause self-consciousness. Known as a “gummy smile,” this concern is often due to overactive muscles lifting the upper lip higher than desired.
At Alcove Aesthetics by Dr Goziem in Pall Mall, we offer a simple yet effective solution with Botox. By gently relaxing the lip-lifting muscles, Botox lowers the upper lip just enough to reveal more balance between teeth, lips and gums — creating a confident, harmonious smile.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile can be caused by several factors, including:
- Overactive muscles that lift the upper lip too high
- Short or small upper teeth
- Excess gum tissue
- Thin upper lips that expose more gum when smiling
While some causes are structural, many cases are linked to muscle activity — making Botox an ideal treatment option.
How Botox Treats a Gummy Smile
Botox is carefully injected into the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip. This relaxes the movement slightly, allowing the lip to rest in a more natural position.
The benefits include:
- A balanced, harmonious smile
- Subtle results that look natural
- A boost in confidence when smiling
- A quick, non-surgical solution
Why Results Look Natural
The aim is not to restrict your ability to smile, but to reduce excessive gum exposure. At Alcove Aesthetics, Dr Goziem uses precise dosing and placement to ensure your smile still looks genuine and expressive — simply more balanced.
