Plastic Surgery

The lack or excess of gums can compromise the aesthetics of the smile, according to the patterns of facial symmetry and smile. Gingival esthetics is very important in the harmony of the smile, as well as in its relation with the teeth and implants. Plastic surgery can correct irregularities in the gingival architecture.

1. Gingival Recession

Fine gums, dental irregularities, aggressive brushing are factors that, over time, lead to recession of the gums, lengthening the size of the crown of the tooth.

This excessive dental exposure, is often carried by exposure of the root or implant, causing discomfort and sensitivity. It can, in severe cases, lead to tooth loss.

Periodontal plastic surgery aims to rejuvenate the smile as it restores gingival aesthetic standards.

2. Gingival hyperplasia

The teeth usually look very small. Usually they are a disproportion between the harmony between tooth size and gum.

Gums with the thick, bulky biotype that cover the teeth excessively alter the harmony of the smile.

A simple soft tissue intervention promotes a balance between the proportion of gingiva and tooth size.
