What Is Vestibuloplasty?

Vestibuloplasty is a minor oral surgical procedure that deepens the vestibule—the space between the gums and lips or cheeks. It improves the height and mobility of soft tissue for better denture stability or implant success.

When Is It Needed?

Poor denture retention or instability
Reduced vestibular depth due to bone resorption
Soft tissue preparation before implant placement
Chronic irritation from removable prostheses
Interfering labial or buccal frenulum attachments

Types of Vestibuloplasty

Mucosal vestibuloplasty: Involves soft tissue only
Serosal vestibuloplasty: Includes muscle repositioning
Grafted vestibuloplasty: Requires a tissue graft (often from the palate or donor tissue)
At DentMax, the most appropriate technique is selected based on your individual needs.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Local anesthesia is administered
Incisions are made in the soft tissue
Tissue is repositioned and, if necessary, grafted
The area is sutured to maintain the new position
The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and is done in a single session.

What Is the Healing Process Like?

Mild swelling and discomfort may occur in the first few days
Sutures are removed or dissolve within 7–10 days
Proper oral hygiene and dietary care are essential
Full healing occurs within 2–3 weeks

What Should You Watch for After Surgery?

Maintain excellent oral hygiene
Avoid spicy, hard, or hot foods
Refrain from smoking
Attend all follow-up appointments
