Gum Surgery

Gum SurgeryThe proportion is very important to wear a beautiful smile. Even if you have very healthy gums, if covering over the teeth and make them look smaller, or otherwise, leave them too exposed, you will not be satisfied with the appearance of your mouth. There is a surgical procedure that the dentist can do to reconfigure the size and the edges of the gums.

The gum is a natural part of the teeth. When you talk and smile, especially when both are exposed to view. Do you like your smile? If you dislike or makes it look ugly is the way to the gum, your dentist or periodontal surgeon can reset it by a process which is a kind of “plastic surgery” to the gums.

What is the cause of uneven gums? When a gingiva is too low, it covers too large a portion of the tooth and dwarfs may be due to a genetic problem, due to a health condition or side effects of some medications.

If instead it is a gum too high, leaving much of the exposed tooth and makes it seem longer be, in general, the recession of the gums caused by periodontal disease or gingivitis. You may also be due to age or wear a bad bite.

Gum surgery is considered as a cosmetic procedure such as is almost always done to improve the appearance of the smile, not because it is medically necessary. That’s why health insurance do not cover this type of operation and is considered optional. However, some patients undergoing orthodontic treatment may need to reduce the gum so that it does not interfere with rubbing or applying braces on teeth, as in this case inflame.

Other treatments require it as part of other procedures, for example, for the elongation of the neck of the crown, to reduce the bags on the gums and other regenerative therapies, such as dark or black areas between the bridges and crowns, and due to excessive sensitivity in the teeth because of gum that has been withdrawn too.
