Gummy smile

A gummy smile occurs when more of the gum is visible when smiling than a person would ideally like. There can be several reasons for this, including upper-lip movement, lip anatomy, tooth position and the relationship between the upper lip and gums.

Doctor-led gummy smile support in Nantwich for clients across Cheshire.

A calm, considered setting for a doctor-led consultation
Treatment Depends On The Cause — If excessive upper-lip elevation contributes to the appearance, carefully placed anti-wrinkle treatment may sometimes reduce the degree of elevation. However, this is not appropriate for every gummy smile.

A considered approach

Useful context, not a treatment menu.

01

What We Assess

We consider: • Upper-lip movement • Smile dynamics • Facial proportions • Lip anatomy • The amount of gum displayed

02

A Subtle Approach

The objective is not to change your smile completely. It is to reduce excessive elevation where appropriate while maintaining a natural smile and normal lip function.

Not sure what treatment you need?

You don't need to know. That's where a consultation comes in. At WARM Oasis®, we take time to understand your concern, assess your individual anatomy or skin, discuss what you would like to achieve and explain the options available to you. If treatment is appropriate, we'll create a considered plan. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too. Doctor-led. Individual. Considered.
