Soft tissue plastics

Soft tissue or, also known as gum plastic involves gingival extension and tooth crown extension procedures.

Gingival extension is recommended during recessions when single or multiple tooth necks and roots are exposed. In this way, restoring the gum height restores the aesthetic appearance of the teeth while smiling and reduces tooth sensitivity.

You probably have acquaintances in your environment who can see the gums of the upper jaw very brightly smiling. Such a smile is called "gum", translated from English. Gummy smile.

Sometimes it is not enough to make such a smile even more attractive. Also, tooth crown extension is done before the denture, when the height of the crown is missing or the tooth is deeper under the gums.

Soft tissue plastic procedures are not complicated when done by an experienced specialist. Kestutis Gronskis, a dentist in our clinic, adheres to the principle of minimally invasive treatments in every situation. This means using conservative, non-destructive and patient tissue-friendly treatments.
