Gummy Smile Treatment in London

Reduce Excess Gum Exposure & Achieve a Balanced Smile

A gummy smile (excessive gingival display) occurs when too much gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. While this is not a medical concern, many people feel self-conscious about their smile. At Mesglo London, we offer a non-surgical gummy smile correction using botulinum toxin (anti-wrinkle injections) to subtly relax the muscles responsible for excessive gum exposure, creating a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, is typically defined as showing more than 2-3mm of gum tissue above the upper teeth when smiling. This can occur due to several factors:
  • Hyperactive upper lip muscles – The muscles that control lip movement pull the upper lip too high when smiling
  • Short upper lip – The upper lip may be naturally shorter, revealing more gum tissue
  • Excessive gum tissue – Some people have more gum tissue covering their teeth
  • Upper jaw position – The position or growth of the upper jaw can affect gum visibility
  • Tooth eruption issues – Teeth that haven’t fully emerged or are worn down can create the appearance of excess gum
 
At Mesglo London, we specialise in treating gummy smiles caused by hyperactive lip muscles, which respond excellently to our non-surgical approach.

gummy smile results in London
Our gummy smile treatment uses precisely placed botulinum toxin injections to:
✓ Relax the hyperactive muscles that elevate the upper lip
✓ Reduce the height of lip elevation when smiling
✓ Create a more balanced ratio between teeth and gums
✓ Maintain natural facial expressions and smile dynamics
The treatment works by targeting specific points (often called Yenisei Points) where the muscles that elevate the upper lip are most active. By carefully relaxing these muscles, we reduce the upward pull of the lip during smiling, resulting in less gum exposure.
Your gummy smile treatment journey at Mesglo London includes:
  1. Comprehensive Consultation – We’ll discuss your concerns, desired outcome, and assess your smile dynamics
  2. Smile Analysis – Our practitioners will evaluate your smile pattern and gum exposure
  3. Treatment Planning – We’ll determine the optimal injection points for natural-looking results
  4. Quick Procedure – Precise injections using ultra-fine needles for minimal discomfort
  5. Aftercare Guidance – Clear instructions to maximise results and minimise side effects
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, which typically takes just 15-30 minutes. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Gummy smile treatment is ideal for:
  • Adults who show excessive gum tissue when smiling (more than 2-3mm)
  • Individuals with hyperactive upper lip muscles
  • Those seeking a non-surgical solution for gummy smile correction
  • People who feel self-conscious about their smile
  • Individuals looking for a temporary, adjustable treatment
  • Those wanting natural-looking smile enhancement
This treatment is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain neuromuscular disorders, or individuals with infections at the injection site.
Our gummy smile treatment delivers natural-looking results that enhance your smile without appearing artificial:
  • Reduced gum visibility – Decreases the amount of gum tissue shown when smiling
  • More balanced smile – Creates better proportion between teeth, gums, and lips
  • Natural appearance – Maintains facial expressiveness and authentic smile
  • Improved confidence – Helps alleviate self-consciousness about smiling
Results develop within 3-7 days after treatment, with full effects visible by day 14. The correction typically lasts 3-4 months, after which a maintenance treatment is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily relaxing the hyperactive muscles that elevate the upper lip too high when smiling. By reducing this muscle activity, the upper lip doesn’t rise as much during smiling, which decreases the amount of gum tissue displayed. The treatment is precisely targeted to maintain natural facial expressions while reducing excessive gum exposure.

Yes, our approach focuses on creating natural-looking results. We use micro-dosing techniques and strategic placement to ensure your smile remains expressive and authentic. The treatment simply reduces the degree of lip elevation, rather than preventing movement altogether. Most people will notice your enhanced smile without realising you’ve had any treatment.

Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply a topical numbing cream if needed. The sensation is often described as a slight pinch that lasts only a few seconds per injection.

You may notice initial changes within 2-3 days, with full results developing over 7-14 days as the treatment takes full effect. We offer a complimentary follow-up appointment at 2 weeks to assess your results and provide any necessary adjustments.

Yes, gummy smile treatment works excellently alongside other aesthetic procedures. Many clients combine it with:
During your consultation, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.

If you discontinue treatments, the effects will gradually wear off, and your smile will return to its pre-treatment appearance. There is no rebound effect or worsening of the original condition. This temporary nature allows for adjustments with each treatment and provides flexibility as your aesthetic preferences evolve.
