Reveal Your Most Confident Expression with Expert Gummy Smile Correction
Dermal Gummy Smile Treatment
Excessive gum visibility when smiling can affect your confidence and how you feel about your appearance. At The Old Rectory Clinic, our medically trained professionals offer sophisticated gummy smile treatments that create beautifully balanced, natural-looking results whilst prioritising your safety and comfort throughout your journey.
Understanding Gummy Smile Treatment
A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of gum tissue shows above the upper teeth when smiling. Our carefully administered anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the upper lip muscles, reducing the elevation that exposes excess gum tissue. This refined approach delivers subtle yet transformative results, allowing you to smile with renewed confidence whilst maintaining your natural facial expressions.
The treatment is minimally invasive, precisely targeted, and designed to rebalance your smile’s aesthetic proportions without altering your unique character.
Your Treatment Journey: What to Expect
Your journey towards refreshed, revitalised skin follows a carefully structured pathway designed for optimal results.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive face-to-face assessment with our registered clinician. During this essential appointment, we'll evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your unique smile.
Prescription and Planning
Following consultation, our doctor will devise a plan specifically for your treatment. We'll explain exactly how the procedure works, establish realistic expectations, and ensure you feel completely informed and comfortable before proceeding. Before and After photography will be stored with your medical records for completeness.
Precise Treatment Application
Using fine needles, carefully measured doses of anti-wrinkle solution are strategically injected into the muscles responsible for lip elevation. The procedure typically takes just 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort thanks to our gentle technique and expertise.
Post-Treatment Guidance and Support
Immediately after your treatment, we'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimise your results. We'll schedule a follow-up review to assess your outcome and make any refinements if needed, ensuring you achieve the balanced smile you envisioned.
Who Benefits from Gummy Smile Treatment
This treatment is ideal for individuals who feel self-conscious about excessive gum visibility when smiling or laughing. You might be a suitable candidate if you’ve noticed that your upper gums show prominently, creating an unbalanced smile proportion that affects your confidence in social or professional settings. The procedure works beautifully for those seeking a non-surgical solution to refine their smile without lengthy recovery periods. Whether you’re preparing for special occasions or simply wish to feel more comfortable in everyday interactions, gummy smile correction can deliver the harmonious facial balance you’re looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do gummy smile treatment results last?
Results typically last between 3-4 months, though this varies depending on individual factors such as metabolism and muscle strength. Many clients find that with regular treatments, effects may gradually extend as the muscles become conditioned to the new resting position.
Is the procedure painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort during treatment. The injections involve very fine needles, and the procedure is brief. If you’re particularly sensitive, we can apply topical numbing cream beforehand to enhance your comfort throughout the process.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Temporary side effects are generally mild and may include slight redness, minor swelling, or small bruises at injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days. Rarely, some clients experience temporary asymmetry, which can be adjusted at your follow-up appointment.
Can this treatment be combined with other aesthetic procedures?
Absolutely. Gummy smile correction works beautifully alongside treatments such as dermal fillers for lip enhancement or facial contouring. During your consultation, we’ll discuss complementary options that could further refine your overall aesthetic goals whilst maintaining natural harmony.

Important Legal Requirements for Muscle Relaxant Treatments
Your safety is protected by law. All muscle relaxant injections, including those for gummy smile correction, must be prescribed by a registered clinician: a doctor, dentist, prescribing pharmacist, or prescribing nurse. Crucially, you must have a face-to-face consultation with such a qualified professional before every single treatment session. This consultation cannot be conducted remotely or delegated to non-prescribing practitioners. Any clinic or individual offering to inject you without arranging this mandatory consultation and subsequent prescription is operating illegally and putting your health at risk. At The Old Rectory Clinic, we strictly adhere to all legal and ethical requirements, ensuring your treatment is both safe and compliant.
