A gummy smile is a condition that displays an excess gum line in the upper lip. It results from an abnormal dental eruption, gum recession, excessive connective tissue in the gums, or a combination of these factors. This condition makes many people feel uncomfortable and self-conscious when they smile. Fortunately, there are ways to fix your gummy smile!

Botox

Botox is a popular way to fix a gummy smile. Here at Chantilly Cosmetic Surgery, a gummy smile reduction with Botox is a quick and easy procedure. Botox is injected into the muscles that cause excessive gum lines. It relaxes these muscles and reduces the number of teeth that are visible when you smile. It contains a toxin that temporarily paralyzes the muscles. This eliminates excessive gums and results in a more natural-looking smile. The recovery period is short, usually 7-10 days.

Botox is a temporary solution. It lasts for about four to six months, and it will need to be repeated every few months. However, it is a relatively quick and easy procedure. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after.

However, Botox is not for everyone. It may not be suitable if you have a medical condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are interested in Botox, make sure to consult a doctor to see if it is the right solution for you.
