Gummy smile reduction
Gummy smile reduction

We understand the impact that a gummy smile can have on your confidence, and we are here to provide effective treatments that can help you achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. A gummy smile is characterised by an excessive display of gum tissue when smiling. While it is a common concern, it can cause self-consciousness in some individuals.

Our Gummy Smile Reduction treatment involves the precise injection of Botox into specific muscles that control the elevation of the upper lip. By targeting these muscles, Botox helps to relax them, reducing the amount of gum tissue exposed when smiling and creating a more harmonious smile.

By choosing our Gummy Smile Reduction treatment using Botox, you can experience several benefits:

  1. Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: The treatment effectively reduces the appearance of excessive gum tissue, creating a more balanced and attractive smile.
  2. Non-Surgical Approach: Gummy Smile Reduction using Botox is a non-surgical procedure, avoiding the need for invasive treatments or surgery.
  3. Minimal Discomfort: The injections involved in the treatment are typically well-tolerated, and any discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.
  4. Quick Procedure: Gummy Smile Reduction treatments using Botox are quick, often taking just a few minutes to complete, allowing you to fit it easily into your schedule.

Our clinicians are dedicated to providing effective solutions for those who may feel self-conscious about their Gummy Smile. Contact Aestiva Clinic today to schedule a consultation. We look forward to discussing your goals and providing you with the care you deserve.
