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 a lot 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, sometimes called a “gum lift” 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. This procedure can brighten and widen a smile, where the patient may just think they have small or dark teeth. In reality, all that beautiful smile is just hiding and waiting to be uncovered.

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.
