Aesthetic Oral Surgery

At PureDental, we believe that oral surgery is not only a functional issue, but also an aesthetic one. The goal of aesthetic oral surgery treatments is to create a harmonious unity between the teeth and gums, with a natural appearance and stable function.

Frenectomy removal of lip or tongue ties

Thick or restrictive lip or tongue frenulum these anatomical structures may need to be surgically removed to prevent functional or aesthetic problems.

Why is frenectomy sometimes necessary?

In newborns, a strong tongue tie can hinder proper breastfeeding. While this is often treated early some cases are missed and only cause issues later in childhood, such as difficulties with pronunciation (especially the “R” sound). In collaboration with a speech therapist frenectomy may be recommended in such cases.

In adults, frenectomy is less common but can still be indicated, particularly for cosmetic reasons. A prominent upper lip frenulum may cause spacing between the front teeth or interfere with oral hygiene. In cooperation with an orthodontist, we may remove the frenulum to prevent or correct such concerns.

Electrosurgical gum contouring

Symmetry and proportion with one intervention

Irregularities in the gum line – whether affecting one or more teeth – significantly affect the aesthetics of your smile. We gently correct the gum line using electrosurgical methods, restoring the ideal white-pink ratio.

When is gum correction recommended?

  • The gum line is asymmetrical
  • The gums are high, making the teeth appear short
  • One or two teeth protrude noticeably from the gum line
  • The gum profile needs to be optimized before further aesthetic treatments (veneers, crowns)

 

In some cases, gum correction alone can achieve the desired aesthetic effect, while in other cases we combine the treatment with aesthetic restoration (e.g., ceramic veneers).

Bone crown lengthening

When aesthetics and restoration meet

During bone crown lengthening, we reshape the bone and gum surrounding the tooth to expose tooth structures that have sunk below the gum line – whether for fillings, crowns, or cosmetic restoration.

When is it necessary?

  • When the tooth is deeply decayed or broken, and the border is below the gum line
  • When the area cannot be adequately isolated for filling or crown preparation
  • As part of cosmetic correction, if the gum contour or tooth shape is asymmetrical
  • After the procedure, the tooth can be perfectly restored and looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Treatment of gum recession

Gingivoplasty, CT graft, FGG, tunnel technique

Gum recession is not only an aesthetic problem, but can also cause sensitivity and gum inflammation in the long term. Various gum plastic surgery techniques can be used to improve the thickness and quality of the gums.

What are the most common causes of gum recession?

  • Thin biotype (hereditary condition), i.e., thin gum thickness
  • Incorrect, excessive tooth brushing
  • Insufficient tight gum margin around the implant or natural tooth
  • What are the treatment options for gum recession?
  • CT graft (Connective Tissue Graft): only connective tissue is transplanted
  • FGG (Free Gingival Graft): connective tissue is transplanted together with the epithelial layer
  • Tunnel technique: minimally invasive procedure with a small incision and more aesthetic healing

 

The graft is usually taken from the palate and transplanted to the recessed area, which increases the thickness and resistance of the soft tissues, maintaining the stability of the teeth in the long term.

Vestibuloplasty

For tight, cleanable string edges

A shallow vestibule (mouth porch) or lack of tight gums can cause a number of problems: inflammation, gum recession, peri-implantitis, or difficulty cleaning teeth.

When is it necessary?

  • If the mouth porch is shallow and the movement of soft tissues interferes with cleaning
  • If the proportion of tight gums around the teeth or implants is too low
  • If the dental prosthesis (bridge, removable denture) does not fit securely

 

The aim of the treatment is to deepen the oral mucosa and strengthen the tight gums, which is particularly important for long-term stable implantation and prosthetic care.

Frequently asked questions

We have compiled answers to the questions most frequently asked by our patients about cosmetic oral surgery procedures.

When should the lip or tongue tie be removed?

Removing the lip or tongue tie is justified if it causes speech impairment, malocclusion, cleaning problems, or aesthetic discomfort. At PureDental, we evaluate each case individually and, if necessary, decide on the procedure in consultation with a speech therapist or orthodontist.

Gum plastic surgery is a delicate microsurgical procedure aimed at restoring the thickness, shape, or volume of the gums—most commonly to treat gum recession.

At PureDental, we perform this procedure using modern techniques and tissue-sparing methods to ensure rapid and aesthetic healing.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during treatment. During healing, you may experience mild sensitivity, swelling, or tightness in the palate area, but this will subside within 1–2 days. Most patients report minimal discomfort.

 

The results of gum contouring can be maintained in the long term if the procedure is performed professionally and the patient pays attention to prevention.

At PureDental, we use modern techniques, experience, and personalized care to ensure that the results are not only beautiful but also long-lasting.

After most cosmetic oral surgery procedures, healing is quick and complication-free if the patient follows the instructions.

At PureDental, healing is not just about the tissues; we support you every step of the way to ensure beautiful and lasting results.
