Gummy Smile
About Gummy Smile at FACE Weybridge
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue (typically more than 3mm) is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. This can be caused by hyperactive upper lip elevator muscles, dental positioning, or natural facial anatomy, often causing individuals to feel self-conscious when laughing or smiling.
At FACE Weybridge, we treat gummy smiles using precise, micro-targeted anti-wrinkle injections to gently relax the muscles that lift the upper lip too high.
