The treatment to choose may vary depending on what is diagnosed in the assessment. However, there are treatments such as:
Gingivoplasty: it is a remodeling of the gum to improve its contour when patients do not have periodontal sockets. This procedure can be performed with a scalpel blade or electroscalpel.
Gingivectomy: It is the removal of gingival tissue with the purpose of eliminating or reducing periodontal sockets, thus also improving the shape of the gum.
Lip repositioning: As its name indicates, it is the repositioning of the upper lip in a lower position to reduce the amount of exposed gum in the smile.
