SPECIALTIES -- Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery can be used to correct defects in the shape, position or appearance of the gums around your teeth.
Combined with restorative dentistry an excellent estheic result can be achieved.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery, also called Periodontal Plastic Surgery, usually involves borrowing tissue from the
palatal area then sutured into a new position where correction in necessary. The procedures are performed with local
anesthetic only and involve minimal discomfort.
The most common cosmetic procedure in periodontics involves covering an exposed root following gum recession (see Case I below).
other techniques can correct a "gummy smile" (see Case II below), rebuild tissue lost following a tooth extraction or
establish proper shape, form and symmetry to your smile.
