Gingivotomy and gum plastic surgery

Gingivotomy and gum plastic surgery are surgical procedures aimed at restoring the health and aesthetics of the gums. Gingivotomy involves the incision of inflamed or excess gum tissue, most often performed in cases of purulent inflammation (periodontal abscesses) or when tooth eruption is impaired. Gingival plastic surgery (gingivoplasty) is the correction of the shape and volume of the gums to eliminate aesthetic defects—such as a "gummy smile," gum recession, or post-tumor removal. This procedure helps restore the gum contour, enhance the appearance of the smile, and prepare tissues for prosthetics or implantation. All procedures are performed under local anesthesia, using modern technologies, with follow-up healing supervision if needed.
