Attain Healthier, More Symmetrical Gums with the Help of a Skilled Periodontist

Common Cosmetic Gum Problems

Healthy, luminous teeth may be the most important component of a vibrant smile, but having healthy gums that are proportionate to the size of the teeth is also very important. Periodontal cosmetic surgery can reinvent your smile by correcting various issues, including:

A gummy smile is caused by excessive gum tissue covering more surface than normal of a tooth's crown. To correct excess tissue, our skilled periodontist at Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Center can perform a crown lengthening procedure to expose the optimal amount of a tooth's surface.

Gum recession occurs when your gums shrink and expose a part of the tooth roots. Tooth root surfaces do not have an enamel layer and are a different color than tooth crowns. They have a yellowish tinge, which can make your smile appear unhealthy or less attractive. 

Apart from the cosmetic aspect, gum recession can also undermine your oral health. Exposed teeth are more susceptible to decay, and when left untreated, gum recession can sometimes lead to tooth loss. Our periodontist can treat these issues through gum grafting, which conceals exposed roots using gum tissue from another part of the mouth.

Gum contouring can address an uneven gum line, which occurs when some of your teeth are covered by more gum tissue than others. At our dental practice, we use soft tissue diode laser, which can precisely and effectively remove gum tissue to create an aesthetically pleasing smile. As the laser works, it simultaneously seals the soft tissues, which makes the procedure comfortable, and aids in faster healing.
