Gummy Smile Treatment in Surbiton

What is it

Gummy smile treatment uses carefully placed injectable muscle relaxant to gently reduce the lift of the upper lip when smiling. By relaxing specific muscles, less gum tissue is revealed, creating a more harmonious smile. It is often chosen by patients exploring smile design options alongside cosmetic dentistry in Surbiton and Kingston, or as part of a broader approach to gum line correction and facial balance.

Benefits

The treatment helps correct a “gummy” smile while maintaining natural expression. It is quick, minimally invasive and requires no recovery time away from daily life. Results are subtle and refined, supporting confidence in both social and professional settings. It can also complement wider full mouth rehabilitation and smile design plans without committing to dental procedures.

Preparation

Before booking, patients must contact the clinic to confirm suitability and availability. A consultation is essential to assess facial anatomy and discuss expectations. Avoid alcohol and blood thinning supplements for 24 hours beforehand unless medically necessary. Arrive with a clean face and allow time to enjoy Kingston’s surroundings before or after your visit.

Aftercare

After treatment, avoid touching the area and refrain from strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day. Remain upright for several hours and follow personalised guidance from your practitioner. Results typically develop gradually over a few days. Should you have any concerns, our team is always available for advice and review.
