Periodontal plastic surgery is a type of dental procedure that is used to improve the appearance and function of the gums. It is a specialized form of periodontal surgery that is used to correct a variety of aesthetic issues related to the gums, such as uneven gum lines, "gummy" smiles, and exposed tooth roots.
The procedure typically involves reshaping the gum tissue, repositioning the gums, and/or removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of the gums and teeth. It may also involve the use of soft tissue grafts to build up areas of the gums that have receded.
Periodontal plastic surgery is usually done under local anesthesia, and recovery time varies depending on the individual case and the complexity of the treatment. The procedure is usually done in one or more stages, and it may take several weeks or months for the gums to fully heal.
