Gummy smile treatment in Wimbledon, confidence by the ten-day mark.
Two or three tiny injections at our SW19 clinic rebalance how the upper lip lifts, so smiling shows less gum. £250 including consultation and a complimentary review, a short walk from Wimbledon station.
Less gum, more smile, nothing frozen
London life is full of cameras: work headshots, video calls, wedding season, the friend who insists on documenting every dinner. If you have a gummy smile, you already know the private arithmetic of all that, the half-smiles and the deleted photos. Our Wimbledon clinic corrects it with a very low dose of muscle-relaxing injections into the single muscle that lifts the upper lip too high. The treatment takes minutes, needs no downtime, and by the ten-day mark most clients are smiling for photographs instead of around them.
The mechanics of a gummy smile
A gummy smile is not a problem with your teeth or your gums. It is a problem of travel: the muscle that elevates the upper lip pulls it higher than it needs to go, exposing an excessive band of gum every time you smile or laugh. Because the cause is a single overactive muscle, the correction can be a single precise intervention, which is what makes this one of the most satisfying treatments we offer. Address how far the lip lifts, and the smile rebalances on its own.
Precision matters more than product
The dose here is very low, far smaller than a typical anti-wrinkle treatment, and its placement is everything. Your doctor studies how your lip moves when you smile naturally, then places two to three small injections into the specific muscle responsible. The medicine is botulinum toxin, prescription-only and sourced solely from UK pharmacies, which is why the treatment is always doctor-led. Done well, the lip still lifts, the smile still reaches your eyes, and the only thing missing is the gum line you used to hide.
What the day looks like
Book 30 to 45 minutes. The consultation comes first, and in most cases the treatment follows in the same appointment once you and your doctor have agreed the plan. The injections take five to fifteen minutes and are so small and shallow that they rarely cause more than a slight sting. There is no downtime whatsoever: no marks to explain, no recovery to schedule, and nothing to stop you heading straight back to work, the gym diary permitting, or the school pick-up.
From first change to full effect
Improvements appear within four to ten days, with most people noticing the difference inside a week. Two weeks after treatment you return for a complimentary review, where your doctor compares the result against your photographs and places a free top-up dose if the balance needs refining. Results last between three and five months, and often longer with regular maintenance, so most clients settle into a comfortable rhythm of a few visits a year, timed around whatever their calendar holds.
Planning around lip filler
Plenty of Wimbledon clients pair this treatment with lip filler, and the order of operations matters. Treat the gummy smile first, let it settle through the two-week review, and then add filler, so the lips are shaped against your corrected smile rather than the old one. Your doctor will map the sequence at consultation, including timings if you are working towards a wedding, a big birthday or any date with a photographer attached. Building the plan properly at the start is what keeps the result looking effortless.
Why people choose Wimbledon
The clinic sits on Wimbledon Hill Road, a short walk from the station, and runs evening appointments until 8pm from Monday to Thursday, which makes a quick, no-downtime treatment genuinely quick. Every treatment is performed by Dr Yasmin Tayeb, Dr Yosra Albeyatti or Dr Hannah Sunley. Dr Yosra leads the clinic and is known for precise, conservative dosing and results that never announce themselves, which is exactly the sensibility a smile deserves. You will see the same doctor at your review, too.
