Periodontal surgery
Periodontal surgery
These procedures aim to correct gum irregularities to improve the appearance of the gums and protect the teeth.
Types of treatment:
- Gum graft: Removal of tissue to cover exposed roots in cases of gum recession.
- Gingivectomy: Correction of the level and shape of the gums to harmonize their contour around the teeth.
- Clinical crown lengthening: Reduction of a gummy smile (significant appearance of gums when smiling) and removal of excess gum tissue to balance the tooth-gum ratio.
