Gummy Smile: Address It At Vancouver's #1 Medical Clinic

Gummy Smile

Overview

Although prominent gums are completely harmless, a gummy smile can make you feel self-conscious and can affect how you feel when you see photos of yourself.
It has been shown that a smile will usually be perceived as gummy when four millimetres of gum tissue shows.

What causes a gummy smile?

There are a few causes for gummy smiles such as:

Improperly erupted teeth
A hyperactive lip that looks normal when the face is at rest but lifts too much when smiling
A short upper lip
Worn teeth
An overgrowth of the upper jaw

What are some ways to reduce the appearance and formation of a gummy smile?

Gummy smiles can be caused by various factors, such as a hyperactive lip or an overgrowth of the upper jaw. If your gummy smile is caused by a hyperactive lip, there are options such as neuromodulators that can be injected into the muscles of the upper lip to relax the muscles and prevent the lip from overreacting when smiling.

This can help to lower the lip and cover the gums, giving you a brighter, more confident smile. If the cause of your gummy smile requires more extensive treatment, such as dental surgery, there are options available to help fix your smile and restore your confidence. It is important to consult with a dental or medical professional to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs and goals.

A Popular Treatment for Gummy Smile

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators such as Botox are substances that are injected into muscles in order to temporarily block the transmission of nerve impulses and prevent muscle contractions. During your consultation, we will evaluate the distance of the gums to the upper lips and the muscle strength. This will help determine the number of neuromodulators units needed to achieve your desired smile.

Subtle Lip Filler

Dr. Frame cares about what you want and is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen. I waited a couple years to leave this review to ensure it would be honest. I am so happy with the services at this clinic and would absolutely recommend it. Not a single negative experience yet and on many times my expectations have been exceeded. Thank you to the whole team!

Under-Eye Enhancement

I have been to a few clinics in Vancouver and this is by far the best one due to the comprehensive knowledge, experience and care of the staff and doctors. I felt so comfortable and welcome. Definitely the only place I will go to from now on!

Infini RF Microneedling

I have had a great experience at the Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic. I came in with concerns about my ongoing adult acne and the team really went above-and beyond in working out a treatment plan. One of the team members, Jocelyn, has really helped me with not only my treatments but also picking appropriate skincare products and tips for at-home care. I am super grateful for Jocelyn and the entire clinic for their care, and I am feeling confident in my skin for the first time in years.

Filler

I am so happy with the filler and neuromodulator treatments I received at the AntiAging clinic. I received a lovely natural result and I particularly like looking less tired. The consultation from Nadine Frame was excellent. She gave me all the options and is very skilled at knowing what kinds of treatments would be best for the look I want to achieve. Dr Gidon Frame is friendly and skilled. He is entertaining and relaxed while perfectly administering the treatment required. Thank you all of you at AntiAging for such a stress-free experience and lovely aesthetic outcome for my face.

Neuromodulators

Dr. Frame and Nadine are a dynamite duo. Together, they made my dreams come true with a combination of Neuromodulator and Filler. Both took their time to assess my face and to understand my ambition. I took a long time to consider the options after an initial consult (several months actually) and there was absolutely no pressure placed upon me. Dr. Frame has a less-is-more conservative approach leading to a natural yet elegant and impactful result. The pair truly have a cosmetic eye that is second to none. Thrilled with my result. Highly recommend.
