Gummy smile consultation assesses your anatomy to determine the most effective way to reduce the amount of gum showing when you smile. We use this first visit to plan your outcome and discuss the professional steps required to achieve it.
Specialist-led care with our clinical team.

You may feel that too much of your gums show when you smile, which can make you feel unsure. This is a common concern that we address through facial aesthetics in London. During a gummy smile consultation, we assess your anatomy to determine why this occurs and if you are a suitable candidate for correction. We use this appointment to explain how we can balance your smile and answer your questions about how long results last or what the process involves.
Choosing the wrong treatment for a gummy smile often stems from a lack of precise diagnosis. We provide a specialist-led approach, so your plan is based on your specific anatomy. This diagnosis-first frame prevents unnecessary procedures and keeps pricing transparent. You get an itemised value build before any fees are revealed, so you understand exactly what you are paying for at our Primrose Hill practice.
Our facial aesthetics services include hyperhidrosis treatment, a nefertiti neck lift, and neck lines treatment. Our clinical team assesses whether you are suitable for treatment during your consultation. We offer consultations for all facial aesthetics patients.

A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip does not cover the teeth and gums sufficiently during a smile. We see patients with varying degrees of this, and the consultation is where we determine the cause. Whether the issue is due to tooth position, lip movement, or the amount of gum tissue, we assess your anatomy to find the right fit. We understand that feeling unsure about your smile is common. Our team provides a neutral, clinical environment for patients who feel anxious.
We focus on natural proportions to avoid an overdone look. If you are unsure which facial aesthetic treatments: which option fits your specific needs, we can explain the different methods during your visit.
We begin by examining your lip line and gum tissue. This visit determines if treatment is right for you and identifies the cause of the excess gum display. We also discuss your goals. If you have other concerns, we can arrange an anti-wrinkle consultation to coordinate your results.
We map out the exact muscles that lift your upper lip too high when you smile. This is designed for a final result that looks natural. We are honest about the timeline and the number of visits required. You will know exactly what to expect before we start.
We administer a muscle-relaxing treatment into the muscles responsible for the excess lip lift, so more of your natural smile line is covered. We prioritise your comfort throughout the process, and the injections themselves are quick.
Most patients return to normal activities straight away. We provide clear aftercare instructions, and you will notice the effect settling in over the following days. We are transparent about potential complications, though these are rare when following the recovery plan.
Once the treatment has settled, we review the new proportions of your smile. We check that the gum line is symmetrical and balanced. This final check confirms the treatment has achieved the planned aesthetic.
We review your medical history to confirm the gummy smile treatment is safe and appropriate for your anatomy. This process is led by our clinical team, bringing a precise understanding of facial anatomy for natural-looking results. We use strategic placement of fillers to address age-related volume loss and restore youthful facial contours by treating static lines.
Results from dermal fillers are typically immediate. You will see the final outcome once swelling subsides within 1 to 2 weeks, though most patients notice initial improvements within 2 to 5 days. Depending on the area treated, these results typically last 6 to 18 months.
Our facial aesthetics range includes lip fillers to define facial features and cheek fillers to restore youthful fullness and improve cheekbone contours. We also provide tear trough fillers and chin augmentation. To maintain these results over the long term, we recommend consistent sun protection with SPF 30.
