A beautiful smile depends not only on the teeth: the harmony between the gums and the teeth also determines whether we enjoy showing our smile. If the gums do not meet our aesthetic ideal, we may feel discomfort — and this is just one of many reasons for gum surgery.
Various procedures of mucogingival surgery are used to achieve a harmonious relationship between the gums and the dental arch. For most gum surgeries, the following rule applies: a small procedure with a big effect. These procedures are performed in a minimally invasive way and cause almost no discomfort.
Genetic predisposition, gum diseases, or lifestyle factors can cause gum disharmony. Cosmetic plastic surgery of the gum’s soft tissues includes shortening, lengthening, or balancing the gums.
Excess gum tissue can make teeth appear too small. Many people find the so-called “gummy smile” irritating and unaesthetic. The excess gum tissue can be removed using a laser. This exposes the teeth and balances the relationship between the gums and the teeth. If there is too little gum or it has receded naturally, the teeth may appear too long. Connective tissue grafting of the oral mucosa in the root area is a popular method for gum replacement. Another option is the coronal repositioning of the existing gum tissue, where the tissue is gently lifted to cover the exposed area.
Gum surgeries are an important part of dentistry and oral surgery. Here are some of the most common types:
Gum line correction: this procedure is used to change the shape or alignment of the gum line. It can correct irregularities or differences in root length and improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile.
Gingivectomy: the removal of part of the gum tissue. It can be performed to treat gingivitis or periodontitis, as well as to increase the visible length of the teeth when needed.
Gum plastic surgery in Kyiv: a procedure where gum tissue is moved from one area of the mouth to another. It can be used to correct gum recession, when tooth roots are exposed, or to close gum defects after surgery or trauma.
Gum grafting: transplantation of gum tissue from one part of the mouth to another, often using donor material. This procedure may be performed to increase gum volume, cover recessions, or create an aesthetic frame around implants or prosthetics.
Gum contouring: a procedure aimed at correcting abnormalities in the shape or position of gum tissue. It can be used to eliminate gum excess, unevenness, or pigmentation that disrupts the aesthetics of the smile.
Plastic surgery of the soft tissues of the oral cavity is performed using modern technologies and instruments to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness for the patient. The results can be significant, improving both gum health and the aesthetics of the smile.
