Gingival microsurgery

Healthy gums are much more than an esthetic complement; they are the fundamental base that supports and protects your teeth, contributing to optimal chewing function and facial harmony. When gums present problems such as recession, inflammation or irregularities in their contour, it not only affects the appearance of your smile, but also compromises the natural protection of the dental roots and the stability of the teeth.

Gingival microsurgery represents a significant advance in the treatment of these conditions, offering a minimally invasive, highly precise and personalized solution. Thanks to the combination of state-of-the-art technology and clinical experience, this technique allows intervention on the soft tissues with minimal damage, favoring rapid recovery and exceptional esthetic and functional results.

Recovering the health and beauty of your gums with microsurgery means betting on a long-lasting, comfortable and healthy smile that improves not only aesthetics but also quality of life.

What is gingival microsurgery?

Gingival microsurgery is a set of surgical procedures performed with instruments and techniques designed to maximize precision and minimize tissue damage during intervention on the gums and other oral soft tissues.

Unlike traditional periodontal surgery, which can involve large incisions and a more painful postoperative period, microsurgery uses surgical microscopes, microsurgical instruments and fine sutures to ensure minimal incisions, reducing trauma and accelerating healing.

This technique is especially useful for treating gingival recessions, improving soft tissue volume and quality, eliminating deep periodontal pockets that do not respond to conventional treatments, and preparing the gingiva for restorative or implant procedures.

In addition, microsurgery makes it possible to achieve harmonious gingival contours, significantly improving the esthetics of the smile and the health of the periodontium with a less invasive approach and greater comfort for the patient.

When is it advisable to perform gingival microsurgery?

Specialists recommend gingival microsurgery in different clinical situations where gum health and esthetics are compromised:

  • Gingival recessions: When the gums recede, exposing the roots of the teeth, which increases tooth sensitivity and the risk of root caries. Microsurgery allows these areas to be covered, restoring natural protection and improving appearance.
  • Thin or thin gums: In cases where the gingival tissue is insufficient to adequately protect the teeth, soft tissue grafts are performed to increase the volume and improve the quality of the periodontium.
  • Deep periodontal pockets: When periodontal disease has generated pockets under the gum that do not respond to non-surgical treatments, microsurgery allows removal of inflamed tissue and repair of damaged structures.
  • Asymmetries and irregular contours: To correct irregularities in the gingival margin that affect the esthetic harmony of the smile, achieving a natural and proportionate balance.
  • Preparation for prosthesis or implants: Before performing these treatments, it is essential to have healthy and adequate soft tissues to ensure the stability and esthetics of the final result.

Early intervention in these cases with gingival microsurgery helps to avoid major complications, protects dental health and enhances the natural beauty of the smile.

Benefits of gingival microsurgery vs. conventional surgery

Gingival microsurgery offers numerous advantages over traditional periodontal surgery, resulting in better clinical outcomes and a more comfortable experience:

  • Minimal and controlled incisions: Using specialized instruments and microscopes, incisions are small and precise, which reduces damage to surrounding tissues and promotes rapid recovery.
  • Reduced postoperative pain and discomfort: By minimizing tissue trauma, patients experience less swelling, pain and discomfort after surgery, facilitating the return to normal activities in less time.
  • Superior esthetic results: Microsurgery allows modeling the gingival contour in a harmonious and natural way, correcting asymmetries without leaving visible scars or marks that may affect the appearance.
  • Better control of inflammation and prevention of disease progression: By effectively removing damaged tissue and promoting regeneration, chronic inflammation is reduced and the periodontium is protected.
  • Personalized and tailored procedures: Each patient receives a treatment tailored to his or her specific needs, considering anatomy, health status and expectations, to achieve functional and long-lasting results.

These advantages make gingival microsurgery an option of choice for patients seeking advanced, effective treatments with a high level of comfort.

Advanced technology in gingival microsurgery

The precision and success of gingival microsurgery depend to a large extent on the technology used. Specialists use surgical microscopes that provide a magnified and detailed view of the operative field, allowing incisions and sutures to be made with millimeter accuracy.

Microsurgical instruments are specially designed to work gently, reducing bleeding and damage to surrounding tissues. This facilitates a gentler and more efficient manipulation that accelerates healing and improves the quality of regenerated tissue.

The use of lasers complements surgery by reducing inflammation, promoting disinfection and accelerating recovery. In addition, in certain cases biomaterials and collagen matrices are applied to stimulate bone and soft tissue regeneration, enhancing the natural restoration.

This technological arsenal, combined with clinical expertise, allows us to offer personalized and effective treatments that maximize the benefits for each patient.
