Aesthetic Gum Surgery

Aesthetic surgery of the gums and the restoration of gingival function is of fundamental importance for the protection of the most vulnerable parts of the teeth, of the supporting bone and for the integrity of the gingival tissues.

How can gum defects be eliminated?
Most of these defects can be eliminated with small, minimally invasive but very sophisticated, gingival microsurgery.
In the hands of experts, these interventions allow to restore the compromised gingival architecture with the achievement of the harmonic rebalancing of the smile and oral health.

Gum care is a far-from-easy process in our daily life.
We may list some of the main gum defects that you may encounter in your everyday life:
