At our nurse-led clinic, we understand that a gummy smile can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. A gummy smile refers to the condition where a significant portion of the gum tissue is exposed when a person smiles, overshadowing the teeth and affecting the overall aesthetic appearance. Fortunately, with advancements in aesthetic medicine, there are effective treatment options available to address this concern. One such treatment is the use of anti-wrinkle injections.
A gummy smile can occur due to various factors, including excessive gum tissue, a hyperactive upper lip, and an overgrowth of the upper jaw bone. It can be a result of genetics or certain dental and skeletal conditions. While a gummy smile doesn’t usually pose any health risks, it can impact an individual’s confidence and self-esteem, leading them to seek treatment options to achieve a more balanced and harmonious smile.
Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly known as botulinum toxin injections or neuromodulators, are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment option for addressing various aesthetic concerns, including gummy smiles. These injections work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, resulting in a more balanced smile with less gum exposure.
When you visit our nurse-led clinic for gummy smile treatment, our experienced and skilled nurse, Annie, will begin by assessing your smile and discussing your goals and expectations. She will thoroughly explain the treatment process, including any potential risks and benefits, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
During the treatment, small, carefully targeted injections of the anti-wrinkle solution will be administered into specific muscles around the upper lip area. The solution temporarily reduces muscle activity, limiting the elevation of the upper lip when you smile, thereby reducing the amount of gum tissue exposed.
Non-surgical and minimally invasive: Anti-wrinkle injections provide a non-surgical alternative to address gummy smiles, eliminating the need for more invasive procedures.
Quick and convenient: The procedure is typically quick, taking around 10 to 15 minutes to complete. It can easily be incorporated into your busy schedule, as there is no downtime required, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.
Natural-looking results: Anti-wrinkle injections offer natural-looking results by achieving a more balanced smile with reduced gum exposure. The treatment is carefully tailored to each individual’s unique facial anatomy and smile aesthetics.
Temporary effects: The effects of anti-wrinkle injections are not permanent. They typically last around 3 to 4 months, after which follow-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain the desired results.
