There are a number of treatments available in Melbourne that can improve the appearance of your gummy smile.
The most common way to treat a gummy smile is with gummy smile injections. This relaxes the muscles that lift your upper lip when smiling and laughing. Gummy smile injections can be combined with a lip flip and lip filler for a more effective correction in cases of a severe gummy smile.
Prior to the injections, the treatment area will be cleaned, marked and numbed.
Tiny needles are then used to inject a product that relaxes the upper lip elevating muscles in the hollow area beside each nostril.
Gummy smile injections have almost no pain. For those concerned about pain, we have a number of strong numbing options available to ensure that any discomfort is kept to an absolute minimum.
Gummy smile injections start to work after 3-5 days, with the final result being seen 14 days after your treatment.
Gummy smile injections usually last for 3-4 months for most people.
The longevity of your gummy smile injections depends on the strength of your smile muscles, and the amount of muscle relaxing product injected.
There are a few steps to take before your gummy smile injections in Melbourne to optimise your result, and lower the risk of side effects. They include:
- Cease all anti-inflammatories, aspirin, herbal supplements, fish oil, krill oil, glucosamine and vitamin E 1 week before your treatment (unless you have been advised to take these by a medical practitioner)
- Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
- Attend your appointment without makeup

Why do I have a gummy smile?
A gummy smile (where there is more than 2-3mm of visible gum tissue when you smile) has a number of causes. Identifying the cause is important so that the appropriate treatment option can be recommended.
The causes or a gummy smile include:
- Strong lip elevating muscles that pull the upper lip too high when smiling
- Thin lips, or lips that thin when you smile
- Short teeth than make your gums appear larger by comparison
- Excessive gum tissue
- A long upper jaw (maxilla bone)
How to get rid of a gummy smile
If you are worried about the appearance of your gummy smile, there are a number safe and effective treatment options available in Melbourne that can help.
The right treatment for a gummy smile depends on the cause. The following are the different treatments available to improve the appearance of your gummy smile:
Gummy smile injections use the muscle-relaxing property of anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles the lift the upper lip when you smile.
This reduces gum show when smiling and laughing.
Lip filler and a lip flip can plump the lips and reduce top lip thinning when smiling and laughing.
This causes your top lip to cover more of your gum tissue.
This treatment reduces excessive gum tissue.
Cosmetic dentistry increases the size of small teeth to improve your tooth to gum ratio.
Jaw surgery can improve a gummy smile that is caused by a long upper jaw (maxilla). However, people that are candidates for jaw surgery can still partially improve their gummy smile using cosmetic injectables such as gummy smile injections, lip filler and a lip flip.
