Gummy Smile Treatment North Vancouver
A gummy smile is when a larger portion of the upper gums shows when you smile. For some people, this is simply part of their natural facial expression. For others, it can make them feel self-conscious or less confident in photos and social situations. At 4D Skin Care Clinic in North Vancouver, we offer personalized non-surgical treatment options to help create a more balanced smile while keeping your results soft and natural.
What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile refers to excess gum visibility above the upper teeth when smiling. The amount of gum that shows can vary from person to person, and it may become more noticeable depending on lip movement, tooth shape, gum position, or facial anatomy.
Many patients seek treatment when they feel that too much gum shows when they smile and they want a more balanced relationship between the lips, teeth, and gums.
Why Does a Gummy Smile Happen?
A gummy smile can happen for several reasons, and the best treatment depends on the cause.
Common contributing factors include:
- Strong upper lip movement when smiling
- Facial muscle activity that lifts the upper lip too high
- Natural lip shape or anatomy
- The position of the upper teeth or gums
- Differences in facial proportions
Because gummy smile treatment depends on the way the lips and muscles move, a careful assessment is important before choosing the best treatment plan.
Treatments Available at 4D Skin Care Clinic
At 4D Skin Care Clinic, gummy smile treatment is tailored to your facial anatomy, smile pattern, and goals.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections may be used to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip too strongly when you smile. This can help reduce the amount of gum that shows and create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
A consultation is the best way to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you and whether it can safely achieve the result you want.
