How can dental aesthetics be improved after these procedures?

Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty are periodontal surgical procedures that improve dental aesthetics. Gingivectomy is performed to remove excess gum tissue to prevent deepening gum pockets and improve the appearance of the gums. Gingivoplasty, on the other hand, shapes the remaining gum tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing and natural gum line. These procedures are particularly effective for “gummy smiles,” meaning smiles with excessive gum tissue, and can achieve 100% success rates. Furthermore, advanced techniques such as laser gingivectomy accelerate the healing process with less pain and discomfort, resulting in increased patient satisfaction.
