Gum Lift Treatment – Restoring Healthy, Beautiful Gums
Gingivitis and periodontal disease (commonly known as gum disease) are leading causes of tooth loss among adults. The main culprit behind these conditions is dental plaque — a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. When not properly removed, plaque hardens into tartar and triggers inflammation of the gums. While poor oral hygiene is the primary factor, smoking, stress, and underlying health issues can also accelerate gum deterioration.
Unfortunately, gum diseases often progress painlessly, showing few noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Early detection and timely treatment are essential for maintaining both your smile and oral health. Common symptoms of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath or unpleasant taste
- Gum recession or shrinking gum line
- Deep pockets forming between teeth and gums
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to consult a dental professional for evaluation and possible gum lift treatment to restore your gum health and aesthetics.
Professional Gum Disease Treatment
At Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic, our experienced periodontists provide a full range of non-surgical and surgical treatments for gum disease. The first step is always a professional dental cleaning, where plaque and tartar are carefully removed from above and below the gum line. This deep cleaning prevents bacteria from causing further inflammation and bone loss.
For moderate to advanced cases, we perform scaling and root planing — a deep-cleaning, non-surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. This treatment removes hardened tartar from the roots of teeth and smooths the surface to prevent bacteria from reattaching.
When non-surgical methods are not enough, advanced procedures such as flap surgery or pocket reduction surgery are recommended. During these treatments, gums are gently lifted, tartar is removed, and bone surfaces are reshaped to reduce bacterial pockets. The gums are then repositioned snugly around the teeth to minimize future infection risk.
The Role of Gum Lift Treatment
A healthy gum line not only prevents dental problems but also enhances the appearance of your smile. Gum lift treatment (also called gingival contouring) is a precise procedure designed to reshape or raise the gum line for better aesthetics and improved oral health.
At Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic, our specialists use modern laser and microsurgical techniques to perform gum lift treatment safely and comfortably. It is ideal for patients with:
- Uneven or excessive gum tissue (a “gummy smile”)
- Receding gums due to periodontal disease
- Irregular gum lines caused by previous dental trauma
The gum lift treatment can be performed alone or combined with other periodontal or cosmetic procedures. It helps create a more symmetrical gum line, making your teeth appear longer and your smile more proportionate. Beyond cosmetic benefits, this treatment also reduces deep gum pockets that harbor bacteria — supporting long-term oral health.
Surgical Periodontal Options
For advanced gum disease, our clinic offers a variety of surgical treatments, including:
- Bone grafts to rebuild areas affected by bone loss.
- Soft-tissue grafts to restore gum tissue damaged by recession.
- Guided tissue regeneration to encourage natural bone growth.
- Bone surgery to reshape irregular bone surfaces and reduce infection risk.
Each of these treatments may be combined with gum lift treatment when aesthetic improvement is also desired.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Once your periodontal therapy or gum lift treatment is complete, maintaining proper oral hygiene is crucial to long-term success. Brush and floss daily, schedule routine cleanings, and avoid smoking to keep your gums healthy. Regular follow-up visits help your dentist monitor healing and prevent future gum problems.
At Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic, we are dedicated to restoring your oral health through gentle, effective, and advanced periodontal care. Whether you need deep cleaning, surgical procedures, or aesthetic contouring, our team ensures every treatment is tailored to your unique needs.
