Balance Your Smile with
Professional, Non-Surgical Care
A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of the upper gums is visible when smiling. This can be due to several factors, such as upper lip movement, gum height, or the proportion of teeth to gum tissue.
For many individuals, the position of the upper lip during facial expression contributes most to excess gum show. Over time, natural changes in facial structure and muscle activity may also influence the way the smile appears.
At Prophile Clinics, we offer a range of gummy smile treatment options designed to support improved lip balance and reduce excessive gum visibility using tailored, non-surgical techniques. These treatments are carefully selected to address the underlying cause of gum prominence and support a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
Causes of a Gummy Smile
- Overactive upper lip muscles, which raise the lip higher than average during smiling
- Short or underdeveloped upper lip, reducing gum coverage
- Excess gum tissue or short teeth, which can affect the tooth-to-gum ratio
- Jaw development, particularly when the upper jaw extends downward slightly more than usual
Who Might Be Affected by a Gummy Smile?
Gummy smiles can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds, but they are most commonly observed in those with prominent upper lip movement or certain dental and jaw proportions. Some clients may notice their smile becoming more pronounced over time, particularly if changes in muscle activity or skin elasticity occur with age.
When to Consider
Gummy Smile Treatment
Some individuals seek treatment when the amount of visible gum begins to affect the balance or proportion of their smile. While the condition is not medically concerning, certain features (such as excessive lip elevation or gum prominence) may prompt individuals to explore cosmetic options. A professional consultation can help identify whether a non-surgical approach is suitable, based on muscle activity, facial proportions and personal treatment goals.
Gummy Smile Treatment Options
at Prophile Clinics
Prophile Clinics offers a range of non-surgical treatments designed to reduce upper gum visibility and support lip symmetry. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s anatomy and presentation, with a focus on natural outcomes and balanced facial aesthetics.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Anti-wrinkle treatment is applied to specific muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. By reducing the movement of these muscles, the upper lip remains in a lower, more stable position during smiling. This technique is commonly used to address excessive upper lip elevation and is suitable for many clients experiencing moderate to pronounced gummy smiles.
Cosmetic Filler
Cosmetic filler can be used to enhance the volume of the upper lip, creating a more proportional appearance between the lips and the gums. By supporting the lip’s structure and position, this approach can help reduce gum show and improve overall smile balance.
Lip Flip Treatment
A lip flip treatment uses targeted muscle relaxation to gently roll the upper lip outward, allowing it to cover more of the upper gum. This approach is often used for mild cases and is well suited to clients seeking a subtle enhancement to lip shape and proportion.
Treatment Goals
Gummy smile treatment aims to support improved balance between the upper lip and gumline during natural facial expressions. By addressing factors such as upper lip movement and lip-to-gum proportion, treatment can help reduce the visibility of excess gum without altering overall facial dynamics. Each approach is tailored to the client’s individual features to support natural proportions and a balanced smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about gummy smile treatment or any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find more FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
Can a gummy smile be prevented?
In many cases, gummy smiles are caused by genetic or structural factors, such as lip movement or jaw development, which cannot be prevented. However, addressing certain dental or bite issues early in life may help reduce the extent of gum show later on.
What causes a gummy smile?
A gummy smile can result from overactive upper lip muscles, a short upper lip, excess gum tissue, or jaw proportions. In some cases, it’s a combination of these factors that leads to increased gum visibility when smiling.
What is the best treatment for a gummy smile?
The best treatment for a gummy smile depends on the underlying cause, such as upper lip movement or gum-to-tooth proportion. Non-surgical options like anti-wrinkle treatment, cosmetic filler and lip flip treatment are commonly used. A personalised consultation can help determine which approach is most appropriate based on individual facial features and muscle activity.
Can a gummy smile be fixed without surgery?
Yes, many gummy smiles can be treated using non-surgical options such as anti-wrinkle treatment, cosmetic filler, or a lip flip treatment. These techniques are designed to reduce upper lip elevation or enhance lip-to-gum proportion.
Is gummy smile treatment permanent?
Non-surgical treatments for gummy smiles are not permanent and results will gradually wear off over time. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to retain results, depending on the technique used.
Does a lip flip help a gummy smile?
A lip flip can be a suitable option for individuals with mild gummy smiles. It works by relaxing specific muscles near the upper lip, allowing the lip to rest slightly lower and cover more of the gumline.
