Precise Gummy Smile Care
at Smile Code
At Smile Code, treating a gummy smile is a tailored plan that considers your gums, teeth, and the way your upper lip moves when you smile. Dr. Elisa Mello and Dr. Ramin Tabib combine BOTOX application with advanced smile design to create results that look natural and balanced.
Expert BOTOX Treatment for Gummy Smiles
Your injections are placed by cosmetic dentists who understand both the smile and the underlying anatomy. This allows us to gently relax the upper lip so it shows less gum tissue while preserving your natural expression.
Cosmetic Dentists With an Aesthetic Eye
Because our doctors focus on smile design every day, they do not just measure millimeters of gum. They look at how your teeth, gums, and lips work together in motion to plan a result that fits your face.
Tech-Forward Planning for Natural Results
Digital smile design and advanced imaging help us visualize how much gum should show when you talk and laugh. This planning supports precise dosing and placement of BOTOX, so your outcome feels seamless and authentic.
Options Beyond a Single Treatment
If your gummy smile is related to more than just lip movement, we can combine BOTOX with gum contouring, Invisalign®, or other cosmetic treatments. You receive a customized plan, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Heather’s Story
Heather came to Smile Code with dull, worn, and slightly tilted teeth. With BOTOX to calm excess bite force and a full smile redesign, her teeth were lengthened, reshaped, and brightened for a more natural, balanced smile.
“I always thought that gum work would be painful. I walked out of there and you would have never known I had a gum lift.” - Heather

How BOTOX Creates
a Gentle Gum Lift
“For many patients, gummy smile treatment in New York, NY, begins not with the gums, but with the upper lip. At Smile Code, BOTOX is used to gently relax overactive lip muscles so the lip doesn’t rise as far, revealing less gum tissue and allowing the teeth to take center stage.”
Targeting the Right Muscles
During your visit, your dentist in New York, NY, evaluates how your upper lip moves when you smile and laugh. Small amounts of BOTOX are then placed into the specific muscles that lift the lip. This softens excessive movement while preserving your natural expression.
Quick Treatment, No Downtime
A BOTOX gum lift is completed in a short appointment, often in just a few minutes. Most patients return to work or social plans right away, with no bandages, stitches, or recovery time.
Subtle Changes, Noticeable Difference
Over the next few days, you will see your smile gradually change as the upper lip lifts a little less. You'll notice a more balanced smile where your gums, teeth, and lips feel in harmony.
Results You Can Maintain
BOTOX gum lift results typically last about three to four months. Many patients choose to schedule periodic touch-ups to keep their new smile for longer.
Is BOTOX Right for Your Gummy Smile?
Not every gummy smile has the same cause. Some are mostly about how high the upper lip lifts, while others are related to extra gum tissue, tooth position, or jaw structure. At Smile Code, your dentist in New York, NY, looks at all of these factors to determine whether a BOTOX gum lift is your best first step or part of a larger plan.
You may be a good candidate for BOTOX treatment if you:
- Notice your upper lip lifts very high when you smile, showing several millimeters of gum tissue
- Have healthy teeth and gums, but feel self-conscious about how much gum shows
- Prefer a nonsurgical option or want to “test drive” a change before considering surgery
- Want a treatment with quick appointments and no real downtime
- Are comfortable with results that last a few months and can be refreshed as needed
If your gummy smile is also related to excess gum tissue, short teeth, or bite issues, Dr. Mello and Dr. Tabib may recommend combining BOTOX with gum contouring, Invisalign, or other cosmetic treatments for the most balanced result.
Safe, Expert-Guided BOTOX
for Your Smile
When performed by experts, BOTOX treatment for a gummy smile is a very safe and predictable option. At Smile Code, your injections are planned and placed by Dr. Elisa Mello and Dr. Ramin Tabib, cosmetic dentists with advanced training in both smile design and the aesthetic use of BOTOX. They understand how your teeth, gums, lips, and facial muscles all work together before recommending any treatment.
Each gummy smile case is mapped out in advance, and only small, carefully measured doses are used. Injections are placed in precise locations to soften excess lip movement without freezing your expression. Your results are evaluated over time and adjusted as needed, so your smile continues to look natural, confident, and completely like you.
