Understanding Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Cosmetic periodontal surgery, also known as aesthetic gum surgery, is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the appearance of your gums and, by extension, your overall smile. This type of surgery can address a variety of concerns related to the gums, including:
- Gummy smile correction
- Gum recession treatment
- Crown lengthening
- Gum depigmentation
- Gum contouring and reshaping
Each of these procedures aims to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing relationship between your gums, teeth, and lips, resulting in a more attractive smile. Cosmetic periodontal surgery is not just about aesthetics; it often improves oral health by creating an environment that’s easier to maintain and less prone to gum disease.
Common Causes Necessitating Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Several factors can lead to the need for cosmetic periodontal surgery:
- Genetics: Some people are born with excessive gum tissue, resulting in a gummy smile. This genetic predisposition can affect the amount of gum tissue visible when smiling, sometimes making teeth appear shorter than they actually are.
- Gum disease: Periodontal infections can cause gum recession, exposing tooth roots. Chronic inflammation leads to the destruction of gum tissue and supporting bone, creating an uneven gum line and potentially compromising tooth stability.
- Trauma: Injuries to the mouth can affect gum appearance and health. This could be due to accidents, sports injuries, or even aggressive tooth brushing over time.
- Medications: Certain drugs, particularly those used to treat high blood pressure, epilepsy, and some immunosuppressants, can cause gum overgrowth. This condition, known as gingival hyperplasia, can lead to aesthetic concerns and increase the risk of gum disease.
- Tooth wear: Excessive grinding (bruxism) or erosion from acidic foods and drinks can make teeth appear shorter. Over time, this can alter the proportion of visible tooth to gum, affecting smile aesthetics.
- Uneven gum line: Natural variations in gum tissue can create an asymmetrical smile. This might be due to differences in tooth eruption or the natural contour of the underlying bone.
- Hyperpigmentation: Some individuals have darker gum tissue due to genetic factors, smoking, or certain medications. While not a health concern, many people seek treatment for a more uniform, pink gum appearance.
Understanding these causes helps in developing targeted treatment plans that not only enhance aesthetics but also address underlying health issues when present.
Types of Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Performed by Dr. Jaisika Rajpal Arora
Dr. Arora is highly trained in all types of cosmetic periodontal surgery. Here are the main procedures she offers at Dental Park:
Gummy Smile Correction
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when you smile. Dr. Arora uses advanced techniques to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line, creating a more balanced smile.
Procedure steps:
- Thorough examination and smile analysis to determine the ideal gum-to-tooth ratio
- Local anesthesia administration for patient comfort
- Careful removal of excess gum tissue using laser technology or traditional surgical techniques

Disadvantages:

- Slight risk of infection (minimized with proper aftercare)
- Potential for minor gum recession if too much tissue is removed (rare with experienced surgeons like Dr. Arora)
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity and an aged appearance. Dr. Arora offers various techniques to address this issue, including gum grafting.
Procedure steps:
- Comprehensive evaluation of recession areas and selection of appropriate grafting technique
- Harvesting of graft tissue (usually from the palate or using donor tissue)
- Careful preparation of the recessed area to receive the graft
- Precise placement and suturing of the graft to ensure optimal coverage and blood supply
- Application of protective dressing and post-operative instructions
Advantages:
- Improved gum health and reduced risk of further recession
- Significantly reduced tooth sensitivity
- Enhanced smile aesthetics by covering exposed root surfaces
- Protection of tooth roots from decay and wear
- Potential to prevent further bone loss around affected teeth
Disadvantages:
- Longer healing period compared to other procedures (typically 2-3 weeks)
- Potential discomfort at the donor site if palatal tissue is used
- Slight risk of graft failure (minimized with proper aftercare and experienced surgeons)
- Temporary dietary restrictions during the initial healing phase
Crown Lengthening
This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, making teeth appear longer and more proportionate.
Procedure steps:
- Detailed analysis of tooth and gum proportions to determine ideal crown exposure
- Administration of local anesthesia for patient comfort
- Careful removal of excess gum tissue using precision instruments
- Reshaping of underlying bone if necessary to support the new gum position
- Contouring of the gum line around each tooth for a natural, aesthetic appearance
- Suturing to promote proper healing and maintain the new gum position
Advantages:
- Improved tooth-to-gum ratio for a more balanced smile
- Enhanced smile aesthetics by revealing more of the tooth surface
- Can facilitate restorative dental work by providing more tooth structure for crowns or veneers
- Potential improvement in oral hygiene by reducing deep gum pockets
Disadvantages:
- Temporary sensitivity to temperature changes
- Slight alteration in tooth appearance that may take time to adjust to
- Minor risk of root exposure if too much tissue is removed (rare with experienced surgeons)
- Initial healing period may require special care when brushing and flossing

For patients with darkly pigmented gums, this procedure can create a more uniform, pink appearance.
Procedure steps:
- Careful assessment of gum pigmentation extent and depth
- Application of local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort
- Removal of the pigmented layer of gum tissue using laser technology or surgical techniques
- Promotion of new, lighter tissue growth through controlled healing

Advantages:

- Relatively quick procedure, often completed in a single session
- Minimal discomfort and quick recovery time with laser techniques
Disadvantages:
- Potential for pigment to return over time, especially in individuals with darker skin tones
- Temporary gum sensitivity during the healing process
- Slight risk of uneven pigment removal, requiring touch-up procedures (rare with experienced practitioners)
Gum Contouring and Reshaping
This procedure involves sculpting the gum line to create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Procedure steps:
