Gum lift is suitable for whom?

In some people, the gums are asymmetrical at the place where the front teeth grow. To have a more beautiful smile in the upper jaw by raising the parts of the gums that are lower and in the lower jaw by lowering the parts that are higher, symmetry is created in the front view of the gums. The gum in the place where the teeth grow has two parts: free gum and sticky gum. The free gum height should be at least 2mm. Therefore, gum lift can be performed for people who have more than 2mm of free gum.

Failure to pay attention to this issue will lead to periodontal diseases in the future.

If the height of the free gum is not more than 2mm, it should be done Length increase crown (Crown Lengthening) should be done.

Increasing the length of the crown is explained in a separate article.

Two methods are used to perform gum lifting:

Using a surgical blade

In this method, a special surgical razor is used, because it is not possible to control the bleeding, it is not a desirable method, because the composite veneer or lamination should be postponed until after the recovery of the gums and subsequent sessions.

Using modern equipment

In this method, a special device for gum lift or a laser device is used. The patient's gums will not bleed and it is possible to perform veneers in the same session.

In the Viva collection, the second method is used, which saves the time and money of the clients.
