Soften a smile that shows a lot of upper gum with a precise, non-surgical Botox treatment at Oakville Flawless Cosmetic.
When your smile suits you but shows more gum than you would like, a small, careful adjustment can bring it back into balance.
A muscle-relaxing treatment for a smile that shows a lot of upper gum.
A gummy smile describes a smile that reveals a noticeable band of gum above the upper teeth. One common cause is a group of muscles near the base of the nose that lift the upper lip. In some people these elevator muscles are especially active, pulling the lip up high enough to expose more gum than they would like.
Gummy smile treatment uses a small, carefully placed amount of Botox or Dysport to gently relax those overactive lip elevators, so the upper lip does not rise quite as high when you smile. The result is a more balanced smile line, achieved without surgery and without changing the shape of your lips or teeth.
This is one of the treatments covered by our Botox and Dysport treatments in Oakville. Because the right approach depends entirely on what is causing the gum to show, the plan is always made at a consultation, never applied to a fixed formula.
Precise dosing where a small difference matters a lot.
The upper lip is a small, mobile area where a little goes a long way, so this treatment rewards precision and restraint. Your provider watches how high your lip lifts and how symmetrical your smile is, then places a measured dose so the lip settles into a more balanced position while your smile still feels natural and even.
Your treatment is led by Lin Nickel, our Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Injector with more than 10 years of experience and certifications through Allergan (Botox) and Galderma (Dysport), and it is carried out under the medical direction of Dr. Andrea Garcia, MD CCFP. That combination of advanced injector skill and medical oversight is central to how we work. Meet the team behind your care.
A subtle, non-surgical option for a muscle-driven gummy smile.
Gummy smile treatment may be a good option if a lot of gum shows when you smile and the cause is an overactive upper lip. It is often considered by people who want to improve:
Gummy smile treatment is not right for everyone, and results vary. It works only when the gum show is driven by muscle. If the cause is the size or position of your teeth, your gum tissue, or your jaw, Botox will not correct it and a dental or orthodontic assessment is the better path. Precise dosing matters, since too much can make the upper lip look heavy or uneven. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular conditions, or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, and Dysport is not suitable for anyone with a cow’s milk protein allergy.
A quick, consultation-first process with little downtime.
The treatment itself takes only a few minutes, and most people return to their day right away. As with all Botox, the effect develops over the following days rather than immediately. Review our aftercare guidance before and after your visit.
