Gummy Smile
A gummy smile refers to a smile in which an excessive amount of upper gum tissue is visible when smiling. While it is not a medical problem, it can affect confidence and how balanced a smile appears. At Amazin U Aesthetic & Wellness Clinic, we take a considered, medical-led approach to improving smile harmony while preserving natural facial expression.
What Is A Gummy Smile ?
A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts higher than usual during smiling, exposing more gum tissue above the upper teeth. The degree of gum visibility varies between individuals and may become more noticeable during broad or expressive smiles.
Assessment focuses on understanding why the gums are more visible, as this determines whether non-surgical treatment may be appropriate.
What Causes A Gummy Smile ?
A gummy smile can result from one or more contributing factors, including:
- Overactivity of the upper lip elevator muscles
- Short or hypermobile upper lip
- Gum tissue position or dental proportions
- Facial anatomy and muscle movement patterns
In aesthetic practice, treatment with injectables is only suitable when muscle overactivity is a significant contributing factor.
Understanding Upper Lip Muscle Activity
Several small muscles are responsible for lifting the upper lip when smiling. In some individuals, these muscles contract more strongly, causing the lip to rise higher and expose more gum tissue.
By gently reducing excessive muscle activity, the upper lip may lift less during smiling, allowing the teeth to remain visible while reducing gum exposure.
Our Approach At Amazin U Aesthetic & Wellness Clinic
We focus on subtle, targeted treatment aimed at improving smile balance while maintaining natural movement and expression. Following a detailed consultation and facial assessment, we create a personalised treatment plan based on facial anatomy, muscle activity, and individual suitability.
Our solutions for gummy smile may include:
- Botulinum toxin type A injectable treatment used in carefully selected points to reduce excessive upper lip muscle activity during smiling
- Supportive assessment to determine whether injectable treatment is appropriate or whether referral to a dental professional is recommended
- Treatment aims to soften upper lip elevation rather than restrict normal facial expression
All treatments are performed by qualified practitioners using carefully selected techniques in a safe, professional clinical setting.

If a gummy smile is affecting your confidence when you smile, a personalised assessment can help determine whether treatment may be suitable for you.
