Correction of gingival smile
Gingival smile correction, also known as gingivectomy or gingivoplasty, is a procedure that is used to correct excessive display of the gums when smiling. It can be performed through a variety of methods, including surgical and non-surgical techniques.
Gingival smile correction is designed to reduce the visibility of the gums when smiling, improve aesthetics, and contribute to better oral health for the patient.
The causes of a gingival smile are primarily related to the individual characteristics of the patient.

More about the procedure
Correction of gingival smile with Botox
In some cases, correction of a gingival smile is possible by injecting Botox , which is placed bilaterally under the nose and in the area of the filterrum. In this way, the muscle responsible for lifting the upper lip is relaxed so that a minimal portion of the gingiva shows when smiling. This is a minimally invasive procedure to improve the aesthetics of the smile. This procedure offers quick results and minimal discomfort for patients, but is a temporary method of correction.
Surgical correction
Correction of a gingival smile through surgery is an effective method of achieving long-lasting results. There are several different surgical techniques that can be used depending on the individual case.
Gum augmentation is a procedure aimed at correcting the shape, contour and height of the gums to improve the aesthetics and health of the gums. The procedure can be performed conventionally with a surgical scalpel or diode laser.
Upper jaw surgery – in more serious cases, surgical correction of the position of the upper jaw may be necessary.
Gum lift – a procedure in which a portion of gum and bone tissue is removed to lengthen the visible portions of the teeth.
Prosthetics through crowns and veneers – Corrections are made by extending the clinical crowns of the teeth and covering the visible parts of the teeth and gums.
In the presence of enamel deformity, the shape or position of the teeth, the treatment can be optimized with the fixation of porcelain veneers.
