At ProSmiles Dental, we see many patients who are unhappy with their smiles for various reasons. The overall look of your smile includes the gums, and even when a patient has healthy teeth and gums they may be dissatisfied with the overall appearance of their smile. We are excited to offer cosmetic periodontal surgery because it allows us to give any patient their best smile.
Cosmetic periodontal surgery is a technical way of saying sculpting the gum line. A lack or excess of gum tissue can cause a smile to have the look of elongated teeth or a gummy smile. To create a balanced look between gum and tooth, the procedure can include removing gum tissue, placing gum grafts, or both. Excess tissue is removed using a laser or scalpel tool. Soft tissue grafts are harvested from a healthy location in the patient’s mouth, and placed where gum tissue is lacking or has receded. The result is an even ratio of tooth to gums throughout the whole mouth. Don’t let your gums keep you from your best smile!
