Vestibuloplasty is a surgical procedure that increases the depth of the oral vestibule, the space between the teeth and the inner surface of the cheeks or lips. This procedure is typically performed to improve the fit and function of dentures or to create more space for dental implants. 

Indications: 

• Shallow vestibule due to genetics, trauma, or gum recession
• Difficulty fitting dentures
• Need for additional space for dental implants 

Procedure: 

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. The surgeon makes an incision in the vestibule and then sutures the tissue to create a deeper space. In some cases, bone bumps may be removed to eliminate undercuts. 

Post-operative Care: 

Avoid smoking and alcohol, Use soft foods for a few days, Take prescribed pain medication, Keep the surgical site clean, and Attend follow-up appointments for suture removal and monitoring.

Recovery: 

Most patients recover within a few weeks. The new vestibule should gradually stabilize and provide better support for dentures or implants. 

Risks and Complications: 

Infection, Bleeding, Nerve damage, and Recurrence of the shallow vestibule. 

Note: It's important to consult with a qualified dental professional to determine if vestibuloplasty is the right treatment option for you.
