Periodontal plastic surgery covers the techniques used to re-establish gingival symmetry and restore mucogingival defects. The goal is a healthy smile that also looks natural and balanced: gingival augmentation, recession coverage and soft tissue enhancement, planned around your anatomy.
Long teeth and exposed roots
Gum recession has many causes and can lead to sensitivity, hygiene difficulties, an unaesthetic appearance and, eventually, tooth loss. Soft tissue grafting and root coverage procedures cover exposed roots, protect vulnerable surfaces and help prevent further recession.
Gummy smile
When excessive gum tissue shows while smiling, teeth appear short and square. Crown lengthening reduces the excess gingiva and bone to expose more of the natural tooth and restore pleasing proportions.
Gingival asymmetry
Asymmetrical gum margins make a smile look unbalanced. Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty remove and reshape excessive tissue, improving both aesthetics and access for daily hygiene.
High frenum attachment
When muscle fibers attach too close to the neck of a tooth, they can pull on the gum margin. A frenectomy releases and removes this attachment.
Full mouth reconstruction
Where several aesthetic problems coexist, the periodontist and your restorative dentist plan the procedures together for a coordinated, stable result.
