Case Study: Gummy Smile Treatment
The patient had beautiful teeth but was unhappy with the amount of gum showing when she smiled.
Dentist:
Dr Tami Lampert
Treatment undertaken:
Following a discussion of the treatment options, she opted for muscle relaxant injections in her upper lip. Additionally, we placed minimal dermal filler in the lips for symmetry and balance. This minimally invasive approach effectively manages gummy smiles when it is due to hyperactive lip muscles.
