What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile typically refers to a smile that reveals gum tissue above the upper teeth. Usually more than 3–4 millimeters. This can be due to many reasons.
How Do Lip Fillers Help?
Lip fillers—especially those made with hyaluronic acid—can add volume to the upper lip. This added fullness helps the lip better cover the gum line when smiling. These dermal fillers reduce the appearance of gums.

Two of the top options are Juvederm® and Restylane® These FDA-approved brands are known for their natural-looking results and safe application. Our experienced injectors work closely with you to recommend the best product to meet your goals.
Botox vs. Dermal Fillers
Botox and dermal fillers can both improve the look of a gummy smile—but they work differently. Botox relaxes the muscles that elevate the upper lip, limiting its rise and minimizing gum exposure. Fillers add volume and reshape the lip itself. In some cases, a combination approach offers the most natural and lasting results.
