COSMETIC GUM SURGERY

  Your gums add to the beauty of your smile. Periodontal plastic procedures (cosmetic gum surgery) can be performed to enhance your smile.

  What are periodontal plastic procedures?

  Periodontal plastic procedures are surgical procedures that are performed to prevent or correct developmental, anatomical, traumatic or plaque-induced defects of the gums (gingiva), or alveolar bone, thus improving your smile.

  What are the indications?

  • Gummy smile
  • Uneven gum line
  • Long and exposed roots
  • Defects in gums and jaw bone

  Who is suitable?

  The ‘foundation’ (gums/bone) of the teeth needs to be healthy. Gum disease has to be treated before such procedures can be carried out. Each case is special. Our Periodontist will carry out a careful examination to inform you of your suitability.
