Mucogingival surgery
These surgical procedures are aimed at correcting defects in the gums and soft tissues surrounding the tooth.
One of the most common alterations are gingival recessions. In this type of lesion, the gum recedes and causes root exposure, creating an aesthetic defect which, in turn, can cause tooth sensitivity.
Fortunately, we have different surgical techniques to treat these types of lesions and help restore the gum to its ideal position. We also use hyaluronic acid to rejuvenate the gums and treat anatomical defects.
In addition to recessions, another recurring condition is the gummy smile, in which a large amount of gum is visible over the teeth when smiling. This defect can be solved by a procedure called gingivoplasty.
In this procedure, the excess gum covering the neck of the tooth is removed to give them a longer and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Gingivoplasty can be performed by the traditional method, using a scalpel, or by alternative methods such as laser or electroscalpel.
No matter what type of surgery you need, schedule your appointment today, and you can rest assured that you won't feel any discomfort.
