Gum Sculpting

Gum cosmetic surgery

What is Gum Sculpting?

Do you have a low or uneven gum line, often described as a 'gummy smile? Then gum sculpting can transform even the gummiest of smiles and help create the smile you've always dreamt of.

In short, gum cosmetic sculpting is the surgical removal of gingival tissue as a therapeutic intervention. It can treat persistent periodontal disease or have purely aesthetic effects.

The dentist may advise gum cosmetic surgery in two cases. First, if the periodontal disease has become critical or, secondly if conservative dental therapies do not have the desired results.

The removal and reformation of the inflamed tissue will definitively eliminate "follicle casings" which have developed between the gums and the teeth. Thus, individual dental hygiene and cleaning the denture becomes easier. At the same time, the damage to the gums, teeth and bones is limited. A special periodontist or oral surgeon performs the intervention.

The intervention itself is widespread and recognised for the excellent aesthetic effect achieved. On the whole, gum sculpting is a safe, painless procedure that reforms the gums and creates a more natural and beautiful smile.

Is Gum Sculpting performed with the same method everywhere?

No. There are three different methods of surgery.

First, gum surgery using electrosurgery, secondly with chemical agents (chemosurgery) or finally using LASER.

However, we exclusively perform this surgery using LASER, since this method provides the highest accuracy of surgical operations. In addition, it results in faster postoperative healing and is the most tolerated method by patients.

Chalinoplasty

Chalinoplasty, is a small surgical procedure where the dental surgeon removes the flexure. The flexure is the small tissue that joins the lip with the gums and prevents the movement of the lip or tongue. There is one in the centre of the upper lip and one under the tongue.

It is removed painlessly using LASER.
