Understanding and Addressing 'Gummy Smile' Appearance

A 'gummy smile' is a term used when a noticeable amount of gum tissue above the upper teeth is visible upon smiling. While this is a natural variation, some individuals may feel self-conscious about it. At PRP London Clinic, our medical team offers consultations to discuss these concerns and explore suitable, non-surgical approaches to achieve a more balanced smile appearance.

The first step is a thorough assessment by our medical team to understand the underlying anatomical factors contributing to the appearance of your smile. Some advanced aesthetic treatments in this area are medical procedures and require careful evaluation by a qualified medical professional to determine suitability and discuss all appropriate options.

How Concerns About a Gummy Smile Are Assessed

During your consultation, our medical team will evaluate the activity of the muscles that elevate your upper lip. In some individuals, overactive muscles in this area (typically the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi muscle) can pull the upper lip higher than desired when smiling. Our medical team will discuss if modifying the activity of these specific muscles is a potential approach for you. If an approach involves a product classified as a prescription-only medicine, The doctor will provide detailed information and assess your medical suitability. It's important to be aware that UK regulations require such medicines to be prescribed by an appropriately qualified medical professional following a thorough face-to-face medical consultation and assessment before they can be administered. The aim of any discussed approach would be to allow the upper lip to sit slightly lower, achieving a more harmonious balance between lips, teeth, and gums without affecting your ability to smile naturally.

The Consultation Process for Gummy Smile Concerns

Your appointment with our medical team will focus on a comprehensive consultation. This includes discussing your aesthetic goals for your smile, a review of your medical history, and an assessment of your smile dynamics and muscle activity. Based on this, our medical team will explain potential strategies. If a minimally invasive injectable approach is considered suitable, he will describe what this involves, including the nature of any products that might be used, and all potential benefits and risks. If you decide to proceed with a treatment plan after the consultation, and if that plan involves any medical procedure, our medical team will ensure all protocols are followed. For instance, if a treatment involving a few small, precise injections is deemed appropriate, this part of any subsequent treatment appointment is typically very quick.
