What is a gummy smile?

If, when you smile, you display a lot of your upper gum above your teeth, this is what’s sometimes called a “gummy smile”.

What causes a gummy smile?

A gummy smile is often something people are born with, where the soft tissue of the gums has overgrown and conceals much of the teeth on the top jaw.

What treatments are available?

If you’re concerned about having a gummy smile, I can help! It can be greatly improved by tiny injections on either side of the nose, which bring your upper lip down to hide some of the gum.

 I love Dr Raquel’s clinic. She really cares about your experience as a patient and makes procedures painless by really taking time at each appointment. I never felt rushed. I’ve had exosomes and microneedling with her and didn’t feel a thing. Her approach is really 360. We chatted about lifestyle and she advised on skincare to support my treatments. I’m feeling confident makeup free for the first time in ages. Highly recommend.

 I had a good visit with Dr Raquel last week for Dermal Fillers around the mouth, lip and lower face. Lots of numbing cream and no discomfort at all. Dr Raquel explained that I may have swelling and bruising, yet five days on I have experienced no symptoms and I am delighted with the results. I know think, why did I wait so long to do this!

 I recently had the pleasure of undergoing two treatments with Dr. Raquel at Skin and Medical Cosmetics: Polynucleotides for skin rejuvenation and Exosomes therapy. The experience and the results have been incredibly impressive. Polynucleotides were recommended to me as a cutting-edge treatment to revitalize my skin. After the procedure, I noticed a visible difference in the overall quality of my skin. The tone and texture improved dramatically—I now have a smoother complexion, with fewer fine lines. The natural lift it gave my skin was subtle but effective. My skin feels hydrated and firmer, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in elasticity, which has been a major boost to my confidence. Exosomes are something I hadn’t heard much about before my consultation with Dr. Raquel. I opted to combine this with the Polynucleotides treatment and within weeks, I saw remarkable improvements, especially in terms of reducing any inflammation or redness. My skin looked clearer, healthier, and more even, with an added glow that felt deeper than what I usually get from other treatments. Combining Polynucleotides and Exosomes therapy was a fantastic decision, and I’m thrilled with the results. From start to finish, Dr. Raquel was exceptional. She carefully explained each procedure in detail, ensuring I understood the benefits and expected outcomes. Her gentle technique made the treatments relaxing, and I always felt I was in very capable hands. Her clinic is a calming, welcoming environment that reflects her professionalism.

 Incredible Results from Polynucleotide Under-Eye Treatment I recently underwent a polynucleotide treatment for under-eye area with Dr Raquel and I am beyond impressed with the results. After years of trying various creams and serums for fine lines and puffiness, this treatment has delivered a visible improvement. The polynucleotide injections have noticeably rejuvenated the skin under my eyes. My under-eye bags, which always made me look tired, have reduced significantly, and the fine lines have softened. I’ve been getting compliments on how well-rested I look. Besides the results the level or care of Dr Raquel is outstanding. I felt that this practitioner really cares. For anyone looking to address under-eye concerns like dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines, I highly recommend the polynucleotide treatment with Dr Raquel. It has not only provided me with subtle but impactful results. I will definitely be returning for future treatments!

 I’m so happy with my results, I love Dr Raquel, she will be my medical cosmetic doctor now for life! I have complete trust in her. Everything she does is 100% spot on and she has promised me that I won’t get addicted, which is what so many people do, and then they spoil their new looks. Thanks again. I can’t wait to have my next treatment.

About Dr Raquel

Qualifications, Accolades and Experience

I qualified as dentist in 2007 and have since gained a Level 7 qualification in injectable treatments (the highest possible), so you can trust that I have the skills and knowledge to deliver your treatment safely and successfully.

I am committed to continuous training to keep updated and safe in aesthetics. I completed a six-month mentorship programme with Dr Lee Walker (a leader in the industry), which has ensured I am working with the most evidenced-based research in aesthetics. I also recently took part in an ultrasound and cadaver course, which allows me to see where blood vessels are and reduce the risk of complications.

In addition, I am a senior clinical mentor, an international speaker and a key opinion leader for a dermal filler brand, demonstrating my extensive experience training other medical aesthetic practitioners.

My team and I are fully trained and equipped to manage any adverse events that may occur, thanks to my training and membership of the Complications in Medical Aesthetic Collaborative (CMAC). You can trust you are in safe hands when you undergo any treatment at my clinic.

Accolades include being Highly Commended as Rising Star of the Year at the Aesthetics Awards 2023 and recognised as a finalist in 2022, being a finalist for Aesthetic Practitioner of the Year (Dentist) at the Aesthetic Medicine Awards 2023, and being given a WhatClinic Patient Service Award for 2022.
