PERIODONTAL SURGERY

Periodontal ‑or Mucogingival surgery involves procedures aimed at treating gum problems to improve oral health and where needed to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the gums.

Soft tissue grafting

A soft tissue graft is performed when the gum tissue has receded, which can expose the tooth roots, cause sensitivity, and increase the risk of further damage. By using graft tissue, usually taken from the palate we restore the lost gum tissue, protect the tooth root, and improve the thickness and appearance of the gums.

Clinical Crown Lengthening

This procedure involves surgically reshaping the gums and, if necessary, the underlying bone around a tooth to expose more of the tooth surface. It is sometimes required for placing a crown or filling when a tooth is broken too far below the gumline. It can also be performed for esthetic reasons, such as correcting a ​“gummy smile.”

Each treatment is carefully tailored to your individual situation and always carried out with attention to comfort, precision, and optimal results.

CLINICAL CASE

Soft Tissue graft

Alexander De Greef

INITIAL SITUATION

The level of the gums around the frontal teeth has receded significantly due to prolonged aggressive tooth brushing combined with a thin gum type. The patient experiences discomfort because the teeth have become highly sensitive, and aesthetically, this has resulted in a smile that is no longer balanced.

FINALRESULT

Result 4 months after the procedure, with the roots largely covered again. The thickening of the gum tissue, in combination with good oral hygiene and proper brushing technique, contributes to a stable outcome.
