Plastic Surgery for Gums to Restore Oral Health
Gum problems can cause pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. Gum surgery is an effective way to restore gum health and improve their appearance. At Dr. Gowds Dental Clinic, Hyderabad’s leading dental hospital, we offer advanced gum grafting, root coverage, and periodontal plastic surgery to ensure safe, effective treatment for both aesthetic and functional improvement.
What is Plastic Surgery for Gums?
Gum plastic surgery includes procedures that repair, reshape, or restore gum tissues. It helps in covering exposed roots, treating gum recession, and improving the overall gum line. These procedures not only enhance appearance but also protect your teeth from sensitivity and decay.
