| COSMETIC PERIODONTAL SURGERIES | ||
| Many different gum or jaw bone deformities create unnatural looking smiles. There maybe gingival (gum) contour mal-alignment issues , or there maybe too much gum and not enough teeth visible when one smiles. There maybe one or multiple roots exposed and the gum line maybe too high. In some cases, a dip on the gum underneath your bridge or area of missing tooth creates an unpleasant situation. Most of these deformities can easily be treated. |

Gummy Smile or Uneven Gum Line - Esthetic Crown lengthening is a procedure where excess gum and bone is removed, contoured, and scalloped to natural form .After proper healing, the gums should be properly aligned and teeth show their natural form and length. Now, the smile line is much more in alignment with the contour of the gingiva. |

| Long Teeth/Exposed Roots - It includes different soft tissue grafts which help with the looks and function of mucogingival deformities and recession. Recession causes the teeth involved to look unnaturally too long and leaves the roots unnecessarily exposed to sensitivity and root decay. | ||
Indentations in the Gums and Jawbone - Tooth loss can cause an atrophy in the jaw bone and cause an indentation on the gum and create unnaturally long adjacent teeth. Ridge augmentation is a periodontal procedure which helps regenerate the lost hard and/or soft tissue and allows it too appear natural. This procedure also allows to restore the function in the area of a missing tooth where a dental implant is to be placed. |
