Gummy smile treatment in Cobham, your smile, gently rebalanced.
A very low dose of muscle-relaxing injections from our Cobham doctors, so smiling shows more lip and less gum. £250 per treatment, with your consultation and a complimentary two-week review included.
A small dose, careful hands, and a smile you stop editing
Some people spend years quietly managing their own smile: pressing the lips together in photographs, laughing behind a hand, smiling smaller than they feel. A gummy smile, where a very high upper lip exposes more gum than tooth, is the usual culprit, and it is one of the simplest things we correct. At our clinic on Cobham High Street, a doctor places a very low dose of muscle-relaxing injections into the specific muscle that lifts the upper lip. The smile that results is entirely yours, showing more lip, less gum and none of the old self-consciousness.
What causes a gummy smile
The mechanics are simpler than most people expect. When you smile, a small muscle lifts your upper lip; in some faces it lifts a little too enthusiastically, pulling the lip high enough to expose an excessive amount of teeth and gum. There is nothing wrong with the gums themselves and nothing wrong with the teeth. It is purely a question of how far the lip travels, which is precisely why such a small, precise treatment can make such a disproportionate difference to how a smile looks and feels.
How two or three tiny injections help
The injections use botulinum toxin, a prescription-only medication we source only from UK pharmacies, to gently reduce the activity of the muscle that elevates the upper lip. With the lift softened, your smile shows more lip and less gum while staying completely natural in movement. The procedure takes five to fifteen minutes, involves just two to three small injections, and needs no surgery and no downtime. The injections are so small and shallow that most clients feel little more than a slight sting.
Deliberately conservative, always reviewed
A gummy smile correction succeeds or fails on restraint. Our doctors use a very low dose, tailored to your face rather than taken from a formula, because a smile that stops moving is a far worse outcome than a millimetre of gum. Two weeks after treatment you return for a complimentary review, where your doctor checks how the muscle has responded and places a free top-up dose if the balance needs perfecting. It is a deliberately cautious rhythm, and it is why the results look like you.
What it does for confidence
The baked-in habit of hiding a smile runs surprisingly deep, which is why clients so often describe this small treatment as life-changing. Smiling and laughing stop being things to manage and go back to being things that simply happen. Because the change is subtle, softening how high the lip lifts rather than altering the smile itself, friends tend to notice that you seem happier or more relaxed without ever spotting why. For a ten-minute procedure with no surgery and no downtime, that is a remarkable return.
Pairs beautifully with lip filler
For an even fuller smile, gummy smile treatment pairs beautifully with lip fillers, and the sequencing matters. The right order is to treat the gummy smile first, let it settle, and then add lip filler after the two-week review, so your doctor can shape the lips against the smile you will actually be wearing. Both treatments are available with the same doctors in Cobham, and if fuller lips are part of your thinking, mention it at your consultation so the plan is built properly from the start.

Frequently asked questions
£250 per treatment, including your initial consultation and a two-week review with a free top-up dose if required. That is the whole price, with nothing added afterwards.
A very high upper lip. The muscle that lifts the lip when you smile pulls a little too far, exposing excessive teeth and gum. A very low dose of muscle-relaxing injections into that specific muscle corrects it.
Appointments run 30 to 45 minutes, with the two to three small injections themselves taking only five to fifteen minutes. There is no downtime afterwards.
Yes, that is the whole point. The dose is very low and precisely placed, so your smile keeps completely natural movement. It simply shows more lip and less gum when it appears.
Yes, and it is a popular pairing. Ideally treat the gummy smile first, then add lip filler after the two-week review, so the lips are shaped against your finished smile.
Within four to ten days, with most people noticing the improvement inside a week. Your review is booked for two weeks, once the result has fully settled.
