What is gum shaping and correction?

Gum contouring and corrections are among the safest surgical procedures in dentistry. Before beginning treatment, your dentist will create a personalized, evidence-based plan to help you achieve the results you want. It is important for us to understand what aspects of your smile you want to improve and choose the most appropriate treatment option. Typically, gum contouring and corrections are performed with microsurgical techniques, using magnifying optical instruments and under local anesthesia. The procedures are usually painless. Various treatment options are available to suit your specific needs.

Gum grafting can solve the problem of receding gums, while gum reshaping can correct asymmetrical gums. Gummy smile treatments (Gummy Smile) are also offered to improve the appearance of excessively visible gums. In addition, Stillmann cleft palate treatments are available to address visible damage or trauma to the gums, and we offer treatments for missing keratinized (adherent) gums.

If the gum line is irregular, laser gum contouring is offered to even it out. Treatments for discolored gums are also available to remove unwanted discoloration. We can also treat excessive gum growth caused by medication.

Our practice follows a highly effective post-operative pain management strategy to significantly reduce discomfort. Healing is usually complete about a week after the operation. At this point, the stitches are removed. Final results are usually visible after four to eight weeks.

Which gum correction is right for you?

In the first stage, we carry out a comprehensive and detailed examination of your gums, followed by an assessment of any potential problems. We always recommend that our patients attend an initial consultation to conduct the examination, address their concerns and clarify the possible causes and treatment alternatives tailored to their specific situation.

Once we have determined the most appropriate treatment strategy, we help our patients to visualize the expected result, either through a replica of the final state on a plaster model (called a wax-up) or through a virtual aesthetic plan (Digital Smile Designdigital planning of the smile). This state-of-the-art technology not only allows us to thoroughly assess the problems at hand and identify any necessary adjustments, but also to simulate the aesthetic changes before we begin the actual treatment, allowing us to discuss and consult with you in depth.

In certain cases, it may be necessary to first address other elements that could be contributing to the gum problem. For example, if the bone and root surface covering the gums is receding due to teeth grinding or periodontitis - or a combination of both - it is important to address these issues first before initiating cosmetic procedures. In general, the prerequisites for cosmetic gum surgery are healthy, decay-free teeth, no root canal infections and no recognizable active periodontitis.
