Smile With Confidence Gummy Smile Newtox in Buffalo
A smile should highlight your natural features. If your upper lip rises significantly when you smile and shows more gum than you’d like, a gummy smile treatment may help create a more balanced-looking smile. Newtox can be strategically used in suitable patients to temporarily reduce specific upper-lip muscle activity, helping decrease the amount of gum visible when smiling.
What Is Gummy Smile Newtox?
Gummy Smile Newtox is a targeted botulinum toxin treatment designed to temporarily reduce activity in selected muscles that elevate the upper lip.
By reducing excessive upward movement of the upper lip, the treatment may decrease the amount of gum visible during smiling. The treatment is carefully tailored to your facial anatomy, lip movement, and desired outcome.

Who May Benefit From Gummy Smile Newtox?
Treatment may be considered for adults who are concerned about:
- Excessive gum showing when smiling
- An upper lip that rises significantly during a smile
- A desire for a more balanced-looking smile
- Smile-related self-consciousness
- Upper-lip movement that contributes to excessive gum display
Newtox may not be appropriate if the primary cause of gum display is related to the teeth, gums, jaw structure, or other anatomical factors. A professional assessment is important.
A gummy smile can have multiple contributing factors, including:
- Excessive upper-lip movement
- Upper-lip anatomy
- Tooth proportions
- Gum position
- Jaw development
- Individual facial structure
Because the underlying cause matters, treatment should begin with an individual assessment.
If your gummy smile is primarily caused by excessive upper-lip muscle movement, Newtox may be an appropriate option. Other causes may require different dental, orthodontic, or surgical approaches.
