Gummy Smile
Gummy Smile
Wrinkle Reduction
A gummy smile, characterised by a prominent display of gums during smiling, often leads to feelings of self-consciousness. However, this common aesthetic concern is not something you have to live with. At Beauty by Doctor (BBD), located in the heart of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs in Bondi Junction, we specialise in non-surgical methods to refine and enhance your smile.
Understanding Gummy Smiles
Gummy smiles emerge when a significant portion of gum tissue is visible above the top teeth during a smile. While the perfect smile typically showcases less than three millimetres of gums, a variety of factors such as genetics or dental health issues can lead to a more pronounced gum display. Addressing this concern is possible through modern cosmetic techniques.
Tailored Gummy Smile Corrections
At BBD, we understand that each gummy smile is unique and requires a personalised approach. We utilise a combination of muscle relaxants and dermal fillers to achieve an aesthetically pleasing smile.
Muscle Relaxants
By carefully administering these muscle relaxants, we target the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip. This treatment reduces the upward movement of the lip, consequently lessening the visibility of the gums. Typically, the effects lasts three months, after which follow-up treatments can maintain the desired appearance.
Volumising Fillers
To complement the effects of muscle relaxers, fillers are employed to add volume and structure to the upper lip. This additional volume subtly covers more of the gum line, reducing the gummy appearance while also enhancing the overall shape and definition of the lips. Depending on the chosen filler, results can last from six months up to two years.
Combining Treatments for Optimal Results
At BBD, we often recommend a combined approach to tackle gummy smiles. This strategy not only addresses the root cause - the hyperactive muscles - but also improves the lip's appearance through added volume. The benefits of this dual treatment include more effective results, a natural-looking smile, and enhanced lip aesthetics with longer-lasting outcomes.
Affordable and Accessible Treatment in Sydney
The cost of treating a gummy smile varies based on individual needs. Filler treatments range between $385 to $660, while muscle-relaxants are priced from $132 to $220. These costs reflect the personalised care and expertise offered at BBD, ensuring each patient receives a treatment plan that aligns with their aesthetic goals.
