Gingivoplasty

Gingivoplasty is a cosmetic and corrective procedure that reshapes the gum line to create a more harmonious and symmetrical appearance of the smile. It is often performed when the gums excessively cover the teeth, resulting in what is commonly called a "gummy smile".

​

When is it recommended:

​

- When teeth appear "short" due to excessive gum coverage.
- In cases of uneven gum contours.
- To enhance the appearance of restorations like veneers or crowns.

​

Benefits:

​

- Improves smile aesthetics.
- Can be combined with other cosmetic procedures.
- Fast healing with local anesthesia and minimal discomfort.
