Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Before
After
The dramatic appeal of a face, especially caught in a smile or laugh, lies in
the interplay between the lips, teeth and gums. Any deviation from the ideal form
alters perceived attractiveness, particularly if the change involves too much or
too little gum tissue.
Periodontal plastic surgery allows us to transform your smile simply by restoring
the shape of your gums to a beautiful form.
If you feel your teeth are overly long or excessively short, the problem may lie
not with your teeth but instead with your gums.
If your teeth seem short, the problem may stem from overabundant gum tissue ("gummy
smile"), which may require cosmetic tooth lengthening.
If your teeth appear too long, you may actually have gum recession, which may
necessitate gum grafting.
We would be happy to consult with you about your cosmetic smile.
