About Our
Botox for Gummy Smiles
Botox for gummy smile correction is a simple, minimally invasive treatment that helps reduce excessive gum display when smiling. By carefully placing small amounts of Botox into specific upper lip muscles, the lip relaxes slightly and no longer lifts as high when you smile, creating a more balanced and natural appearance.
At Elite Smiles of La Jolla and Elite Dental Care in Chula Vista, treatment is planned conservatively so your smile still looks like you, just more balanced. While some patients are good candidates for Botox, others may benefit from gum contouring or another cosmetic approach after a personalized exam.
