Gummy Smile

A “gummy smile,” also known as excessive gingival display, is when more gum tissue is visible above the teeth while smiling. At Injex Clinics, your first step is a consultation with a qualified practitioner, where your concerns can be discussed and your overall health and suitability carefully assessed. Together, we can explore whether any treatment options are appropriate, along with their potential risks and alternatives.

What to expect during your initial consultation

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.

Potential side effects of gummy smile treatments

All medical procedures carry risk. Outcomes vary between individuals, and no treatment can be guaranteed. This list is not a complete list of all potential risks & side effects and is meant as a guide only. Full treatment risks and side effects will be discussed in an in-person consultation. 

Potential risks may include:

• Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site

• Mild discomfort or tenderness

• Headache or a feeling of heaviness in the area

• Asymmetry or uneven results

• Unintended effects on nearby muscles, which may temporarily alter facial expression

• Rare but more serious complications, which will be explained during consultation

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.
