Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

If your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with too much gum tissue. We can correct this by performing a periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening. This can also be done after orthodontic treatment to get rid of that "gummy smile."

During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue are reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to more than one tooth, to even your gum line, and to create a beautiful smile.

Another cosmetic procedure is the soft tissue graft. It is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, reduce gum recession, and protect the roots from decay and eventual loss.
