Periodontal plastic surgery is a set of surgical procedures aimed at improving both the aesthetics and function of the gums. These procedures address issues such as gum recession, excessive gum tissue, or the need for crown lengthening to prepare for restorative treatments.

Common periodontal plastic surgery procedures include gum grafting, which involves taking tissue from the roof of the mouth or other areas to cover exposed tooth roots, and crown lengthening, which is performed to expose more of the tooth structure for the placement of crowns or other restorations.

These surgeries not only improve the appearance of the smile by creating a more balanced gum line but also restore the health of the gums, preventing issues such as sensitivity, tooth decay, or further gum recession.

Periodontal plastic surgery enhances both function and aesthetics, offering patients a more confident smile and improved overall oral health.
