Reshape, Restore, and Revive Your Smile
Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile. At Nakshatra Dental & General Clinic, our specialized gum lift and flap surgeries help correct gum-related concerns — whether cosmetic or medical — to restore your oral health and enhance your confidence.
What is a Gum Lift?
A gum lift (also known as crown lengthening) is a cosmetic dental procedure that reshapes or removes excess gum tissue. It is commonly performed for patients who have a “gummy smile” or uneven gum lines, making their teeth appear short. By lifting and contouring the gums, we create a more balanced, attractive smile.
What are Flap Surgeries?
Flap surgery is a periodontal procedure done to treat gum disease (periodontitis). When plaque and tartar spread deep below the gum line, routine cleaning is not enough. In flap surgery, the gums are carefully lifted back to remove bacteria, tartar, and infected tissue, then repositioned for faster healing and healthier attachment.
