At Injex Clinics, your journey begins with a mandatory initial consultation. Our team will assess your medical history, facial anatomy and oral health to determine the most suitable approach to treatment. We’ll discuss our gummy smile correction options and their expected outcomes, ensuring you’re fully informed before making an educated decision. Should our team determine you’re not a suitable candidate, we will guide you towards alternative solutions that align with your goals.
Like any aesthetic treatment, gummy smile corrections may have potential side effects. Common side effects involve mild swelling, redness or tenderness around the treated area, which generally subside within a few days. Bruising may also occur, which will gradually resolve.
Other severe symptoms that aren’t as common but may occur include facial pain, muscle weakness, facial numbness or a feeling of pins and needles, nausea and/or blurred vision, which will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation. We provide detailed before and aftercare instructions and encourage you to contact us or another healthcare professional immediately if you suffer from any unusual symptoms.
Gummy smile cosmetic aesthetics can take three to four days before results take effect, with the final result showing at the two-week mark. Variable results can last around three to four months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle choices, skin elasticity, genetics, age and hydration levels. We recommend periodic follow-ups to help maintain desired results.

A gummy smile can be addressed through aesthetic treatments designed to reduce the appearance of excessive gum display when smiling. These treatments work by relaxing specific muscles in the upper lip to minimise the amount of gum displayed. The results are temporary, lasting approximately three to four months, and maintenance treatments are typically recommended to sustain the effects.
The approach to treating a gummy smile is tailored to individual needs and preferences, determined during a comprehensive consultation. While these treatments do not permanently eliminate a gummy smile, they can effectively enhance the proportion of your smile to align with your aesthetic goals.
A gummy smile, or excessive gingival display, can result from various factors. Common causes include overactive upper lip muscles, which pull the lip higher when smiling, exposing more gum tissue. It can also be due to the natural shape and size of teeth, particularly if they are short or hidden by excessive gum tissue. Jaw alignment issues, such as a prominent upper jaw, may also contribute. In some cases, how the teeth and gums develop during childhood can play a role. A comprehensive consultation helps identify the underlying cause and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Yes, while individual results will vary, a gummy smile can often be corrected through tailored treatments based on its underlying cause. Options may include cosmetic treatments to relax upper lip muscles, orthodontic treatments to adjust jaw alignment or dental procedures to reshape gum tissue and enhance tooth appearance. Each approach is customised to suit the individual’s needs and goals. A consultation with a skilled practitioner will be helpful in determining if a cosmetic treatment is a suitable solution.
Gummy smile treatments do not take effect immediately – the results typically begin to appear within a few days. The final results are generally visible around two weeks post-treatment. The timeline for noticeable changes depends on the type of treatment and individual factors such as muscle response. During your consultation, the practitioner will provide a clear understanding of what to expect, ensuring you are informed about the gradual nature of the results and follow-up care required.
Gummy smile treatment results typically last around 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, genetics, age and lifestyle habits. Maximum effects are usually visible two weeks after the treatment. Regular follow-up appointments may be recommended to maintain your desired outcome and ensure consistent results over time.
While there is minimal downtime, adhering to recommended aftercare as your practitioner advises, such as avoiding facial pressure and following provided guidelines, supports optimal healing and results.
