Gummy Smile Correction with Botox

Gummy Smile Correction with Botox in Vancouver

Your smile is one of the first things people notice when they meet you, and voluptuous, natural looking lips are desired by women (and men) of all ages.

A “gummy smile” is the term used to describe the top lip resting high on the gums when a person smiles. This shows a large amount of gum above the top teeth, when usually, we expect to see only the little pink “triangles” of gingiva between the teeth in a smile. While every genuine and authentic smile is beautiful, we strive to help our patients have the smile they feel most confident with. A typical or “ideal” smile exposes generally no more than 2 millimeters of upper gum tissues, whereas a “gummy” smile may show 3 millimeters or more of upper gum tissues. People with a “gummy” smile may feel their teeth are smaller than normal, may be reluctant or self-conscious about smiling, or having photos taken. However, a “gummy” smile can be improved with a simple Botox treatment.
