Can Botox be injected into the gums to hide receding gums and long teeth?

Thank you for sharing your question. Yes it is possible to have botox injected in order to reduce a gummy smile. Be sure to see a specialist. Hope this helps.

Botox can relax muscles for cosmetic purposes, and has been utilized to relax the upper lip and minimize a "gummy smile" as an off label use. In our offices, this is typically a simple prodecure with fast results. I would reach out to your practitioner for questions or concerns relative to their office protocols and your specific concerns. Thank you for your question.
