What is Periodontal Plastic Surgery?

Periodontal plastic surgery is a specialized branch of periodontal surgery that enhances the appearance and health of gum tissue. It can address soft tissue issues such as gingival recession, excess gum tissue, and gum disease, improving the function and aesthetics of your smile.

This surgery can address various concerns, including gum recession, excess gum tissue (a gummy smile), and uneven gum lines. Our periodontist can use different techniques to restore your gums’ natural contour and balance, resulting in a more pleasing and healthy smile.

How Periodontal Plastic Surgery Can Enhance Your Smile

The gum line plays a vital role in the appearance of your smile. If your gums are uneven, receding, or too prominent, it can affect your oral health and self-confidence. Periodontal plastic surgery procedures aim to correct these issues, ensuring your gums complement your teeth’ function and appearance.

Gingival Recession and the Crown

If your gums have receded significantly, this can affect the appearance of your teeth and the fit of dental restorations, such as crowns. We specialize in restoring gum tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional gum line.

Improved Gum Health for Long-Term Benefits

Gum disease, plaque buildup, and inflammation can contribute to gum recession and poor gum health. Our periodontal plastic surgery procedures improve the appearance of your smile and enhance gum health, reducing the risk of further decay and inflammation.
