Gingivoplasty

A good smile is not only the correct location and whiteness of the teeth but also important is their "frame" - our gums. The change in the configuration of the gums can occur for various reasons: due to both congenital and acquired defects. Gingivoplasty - a surgical procedure aimed at improving the structure and aesthetics of periodontal tissues - will help to solve the problem of incorrect gum contour. In the course of such surgical correction, excess tissue can be removed or augmented.

The operation is performed after a thorough examination, study of the anamnesis. The oral cavity is disinfected with antiseptics. Basically, surgical correction is performed under local anesthesia, but in some cases can be performed under conduction anesthesia with blockade of the maxillary or mandibular nerve. An incision of the mucous membrane is made, and then, depending on the chosen tactics and the purpose of gingivoplasty, the following manipulations are performed:

flap displacement;
mucosal transplantation;

Finally, the new shape of the gingival margin is fixed with small sutures.
