Gingivoplasty: designing the gum contour
Gingivoplasty is the surgical procedure that reshapes the gum tissue to improve the aesthetics of the smile. It is used both to correct a gummy smile (showing too much gum) and to even out an irregular gum line.
When is it recommended?
- Gummy smile: The gum covers too much of the teeth, making them look small.
- Irregular gum line: A gum that does not follow a symmetrical contour affects the visual balance of the smile.
- Post-orthodontics: After orthodontic treatment, the gum contour sometimes needs adjustment.
The procedure
Gingivoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic and uses a scalpel or dental laser to reshape the gum tissue with precision. It is a quick procedure (30–60 minutes) with recovery in a few days.
Relationship with crown lengthening
Gingivoplasty is closely related to crown lengthening: when gum is removed to expose more tooth surface, the teeth are made to look longer and more proportionate.
