Create a Beautiful Smile with Periodontal Plastic Surgery

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a procedure to remove excess gum tissue, exposing more of the "crown" of the tooth. This procedure is for patients who feel that their teeth are too short or their gum line is uneven. The gum line is then sculpted  to create the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface. This can be done to just one tooth, or to enhance your entire smile.

Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place, or to provide support for a denture. Dental implants are the answer for many people with missing or damaged teeth-implants look and feel just like your own teeth!

Root Coverage
During a root coverage procedure, gum tissue from your palate is used to cover the exposed tooth roots. These procedures are to cover roots, develop gum tissue where needed, or to make dental implants look more natural. In some cases, this procedure can cover exposed roots to protect them from decay or prepare your teeth for orthodontic treatment. Your tooth sensitivity may be reduced as well, and your smile may also improve!
