Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Crown lengthening and gingival grafts can be performed on one or two specific teeth, on a section of teeth, or on the entire gum line. With crown lengthening, excess gum tissue is reshaped to reveal more of the natural tooth, repairing an uneven gum line or a “gummy” smile. A gingival graft uses soft tissue from other areas within the mouth to cover exposed, sensitive root surfaces. This procedure offers the added benefits of preventing further gum recession and root exposure, and creating a youthful smile. Your dentist can provide you with pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure the optimal outcome of your procedure.

Your gums frame your teeth. Together, they create the picture that is your smile. When gums are too short or too long, this picture cannot fulfill its potential. Cosmetic periodontal surgery can help to make your smile look its best. |
