Botox for Gummy Smiles Treatment Procedure

At London Dental Specialists, our Botox treatment for gummy smiles is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that typically takes 10-15 minutes. Here's what you can expect during your appointment:

1. Preparation: We'll cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort.


2. Injection: Using ultra-fine needles, we'll inject small amounts of Botox into precisely mapped points around your upper lip.


3. Post-treatment care: We'll provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.

Injection Technique

Our specialists use the Yonsei point technique, targeting the convergence of three key muscles:

• Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi


• Levator labii superioris


• Zygomaticus minor

This precise approach ensures maximum effectiveness with minimal Botox units.

Dosage and Administration

We typically use 2-5 units of Botox per side, depending on the severity of your gummy smile. The exact dosage is determined during your personalised treatment planning session.

Treatment Duration and Results

You can expect:

• Initial results within 3-4 days


• Full effect visible after 10-14 days


• Results lasting 3-6 months on average

Potential Side Effects

While rare, possible side effects may include:

• Mild bruising or swelling at injection sites


• Temporary asymmetry in smile


• Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds (extremely rare)

Our experienced team minimises these risks through precise technique and careful dosage control.

Post-Treatment Care

To ensure the best results, we recommend:

• Avoiding touching or massaging the treated area for 4 hours


• Staying upright for 4 hours post-treatment


• Refraining from strenuous exercise for 24 hours


• Attending a follow-up appointment after 2 weeks

Proper aftercare is essential for maximising the effectiveness of your Botox gummy smile treatment at London Dental Specialists. Following your procedure, we provide comprehensive guidance to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

During the first day after your treatment, we recommend:

• Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 4 hours
