Botox for Gummy Smile — Shmeisani, Amman
You need your smile uncovered.
If you catch yourself smiling with your lips pressed shut in photos, the problem usually isn’t your teeth — it’s how much gum shows when your upper lip lifts. A precisely dosed Botox treatment softens that lift in one 10-minute visit, with results by day 5 and zero downtime.
Before
After
Four reasons this isn’t a hard decision.
A treatment is only worth doing if the result is real and the way there is easy. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Show teeth, not gum, without thinking about it
Not “a nice smile” in the abstract — the specific moment you laugh in a photo and don’t reach up to cover your mouth.
Dosed by a dentist, not a walk-in aesthetician
Muscle mapping is done by someone trained in oral and facial anatomy, so the dose matches your specific lip elevator pattern.
Results in 3–5 days, not months
No healing phase, no temporary appliance, no waiting for tissue to remodel. The muscle simply relaxes on its own timeline.
10 minutes, then back to your day
No sedation, no incisions, no days off work. You can eat, talk, and smile normally the moment you leave the chair.
Everything included in one visit.
Not just an injection — the full package that makes the outcome close to guaranteed.
The Complete Correction Package
Free smile assessment & muscle mapping
A dentist maps exactly which lip elevator muscles are overactive before a single injection.
Dentist-administered Botox treatment
Precision micro-dosing into the targeted muscles — not a flat, one-size dose.
Topical numbing application
Applied 15 minutes before injection so the “pinch” is barely felt.
Free 2-week correction touch-up
If either side settles unevenly, we adjust it at no extra cost — see the guarantee below.
Direct WhatsApp line to your dentist for 30 days
Any question about swelling, symmetry, or timeline — answered by the person who treated you, not a call center.
Four steps. One appointment.
Assess
We measure how much gum shows at rest vs. full smile, and identify which muscles are pulling too high.
5 minMap
Injection points are marked precisely — usually 2 to 6 points, tailored to your muscle pattern.
3 minInject
Numbing cream first, then the injections themselves — most patients call it a quick pinch.
2 minConfirm
We check in at day 7, and again at week 2 to confirm both sides settled evenly.
Follow-upTap a step to walk through the visit
The No-Gum-Left-Behind Guarantee.
If your smile isn’t symmetric, or the lift hasn’t softened enough within two weeks, come back and we adjust it at no additional cost. You’re not gambling 60 JD on a guess — you’re paying for the outcome, and we carry the risk of getting the dose right.
Only one dentist performs this treatment.
Because muscle mapping and dosing is done personally rather than delegated, we can only take a limited number of gummy smile corrections each month without rushing the assessment.
The numbers behind the result.
Dr. Reem Nafoukh
Every gummy smile assessment and injection at Legacy Dental Clinics is performed personally by Dr. Nafoukh — the same dentist who maps your muscles is the one holding the syringe.
Because the treatment sits at the intersection of dentistry and facial muscle anatomy, dosing is planned around your bite and lip mechanics, not applied as a generic cosmetic formula.
What changes for people, afterward.
“I’d been covering my mouth in photos since university. Dr. Nafoukh explained exactly which muscle was the problem before touching anything — by day five I stopped doing the closed-lip smile without even noticing.”

“I was nervous it would look frozen. It didn’t — my smile just looks like my smile, minus the gum. Nobody at work noticed anything except that I smile more now.”

“One side settled slightly more than the other after week one, so I went back for the free touch-up. No extra charge, no argument, fixed in ten minutes.”

The honest answers to the real hesitations.
No. The dose used for a gummy smile is small and targeted only at the muscles that lift your upper lip too high. People notice you smile more, not that anything changed — there’s no effect on the rest of your face.
No. The goal is a few millimeters less lip elevation, not a frozen lip. You keep full movement and expression — you simply show less gum and more tooth when you smile.
Most patients describe it as a quick pinch. A topical numbing cream is applied first, and the injections themselves take under two minutes.
Typically 3 to 5 months. Many patients return for a maintenance visit twice a year to keep results consistent.
Initial softening begins within 2 to 3 days, with full results visible by day 5 to 7.
Yes, when administered by a licensed dentist trained in facial muscle anatomy. It’s a well-established, reversible, non-surgical technique with decades of clinical use.
