Gummy Smile treatment

Gentle help for an excessive gummy smile

A so-called gummy smile describes a situation in which an above-average amount of gum tissue is visible when smiling. For many of those affected, this is an aesthetic problem that can affect their self-confidence.

It is often caused by overactive muscles that pull the upper lip upwards when smiling. This makes the gums particularly prominent. Targeted medical treatment can provide gentle relief here.

The activity of the affected muscles can be weakened with the help of targeted injections. This treatment temporarily blocks the transmission of stimuli between the nerves and muscles so that the upper lip lifts less when smiling. The result is a more harmonious and relaxed smile - without any surgical intervention.

The treatment is generally well tolerated, carried out quickly and takes effect after just a few days. The results last for several months and can be refreshed if necessary.
