Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Your smile is the first thing someone notices about you. People form their
first impressions based on the appearance of your smile. There was a time
when, unless you made allot of money or were born with perfect teeth, you had
to live with your smile. Today, a wide range of cosmetic procedures is
available to the average citizen, at a cost they can afford. If you have a
gummy smile, uneven gum line or elongated teeth, cosmetic periodontal surgery
is for you.
Cosmetic periodontal surgery sculpts the gum
line so that it is even and in proportion to the amount of exposed tooth
versus gum. This procedure removes the excess gum and exposes more of the
tooth crown. If your gums have receded, and your teeth appear overly long,
then soft tissue grafts can extend the gum line to create an aesthetic
balance. The grafts also reduce the gum pockets that are prone to future
periodontal disease.
If you are unhappy with your smile, give us a
call to discuss your options. After all, you only have one chance to make a
first impression.
