The Hacton difference.

Conservative dose, conservative finish

We aim for natural movement with less gum show - never a frozen-looking lip. The dose is calibrated to your specific muscle pattern.

Treated by a dentist with full anatomy training

Gummy smile treatment sits at the intersection of dental aesthetics and facial muscle anatomy - the dentist's training really matters here.

Reversible and short-term

The result lasts 3 to 4 months, so there's no permanent commitment. If you don't love it, you simply don't repeat.

Combined with veneers/whitening if appropriate

Sometimes the right answer is gummy smile treatment alone, sometimes it's combined with whitening or composite bonding. We'll advise honestly.

Two-week review included

We confirm the result at two weeks and adjust if needed before the result fully sets.

0% finance available

Spread across 12, 24 or 36 months interest-free for combined cosmetic + facial cases.

How long does gummy smile treatment last?

The result typically lasts 3 to 4 months, with regular top-ups extending duration to 4 to 6 months as the muscle adapts.

How long until I see results?

Initial results visible within 3 to 5 days, with the final result settled at 2 weeks when we review.

Are there risks with gummy smile treatment?
