Different ways of dental correction

Gingivectomy

A gingival correction with the help of surgical cutting or laser use is called gingivectomy or crown extension. Laser treatment removes the excess gum away. Then laser wipes the wound and no sutures are required. Generally such treatment painless – only anesthesia can cause some inconvenience.

Too many dental bones

If there is a tooth decay, the gums are “clipped” upwards, and is also referred to as “flap surgery”. Here, however, sutures are needed, and this procedure is more painful than just removing gums.

Facings

Using facings – either composite or porcelain shells – on the teeth may be required for optimal aesthetic results. In some cases, the gums can regrowth, and treatment is need again. If you have a “gummy smile”, different treatments are possible. Which type is appropriate for you depends on your jaw and should be discussed with your dentist.
