Botox / Gummy Smile
A personal approach to gummy smile
The amount of gum visible when you smile can relate to lip movement, tooth proportions, gum position or jaw structure. Understanding the cause is essential before discussing cosmetic treatment.
When overactive lip-elevating muscles contribute, an off-label Botox consultation may be appropriate. We explain temporary effects, possible changes in smile symmetry or lip movement, and when another kind of assessment makes more sense.
How Botox works
Botox is a prescription injectable that temporarily reduces activity in selected muscles. Cosmetic treatment addresses expression-related lines. The areas, dose and treatment plan are chosen after an individual assessment.
What we assess
Your consultation brings your goals, medical history and treatment options together.
- Your concerns
- We discuss the area you would like to address and the changes you hope to see.
- Your suitability
- Dr. Ansam Zaiber reviews your history and assesses the area before recommending treatment.
- Your treatment plan
- We discuss expected limitations, risks, follow-up and total cost before you decide.
Suitability and limitations
Bruising, headache and temporary eyelid or eyebrow drooping can occur. Serious reactions are possible, including problems with breathing, speaking or swallowing; seek immediate medical help for these symptoms after treatment. Share your medications, allergies and medical history. Jaw clenching/TMJ and gummy-smile uses are off-label and need separate evaluation.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Botox change gum or tooth proportions?
No. It changes selected muscle activity temporarily. It does not reshape gums, teeth or the underlying jaw structure.
What will we discuss at my consultation?
We review your goals and medical history, examine the area and discuss options, limitations, risks, pricing and follow-up. Requesting a consultation does not commit you to treatment.
