Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures

Often times periodontal disease can cause disfigurement of the natural appearance of gums and teeth. Or genetic developmental anomalies can lead to unaesthetic appearances of the gums and smile. New periodontal “plastic surgical“ procedures are now available in periodontics which can correct these problems and provide a cosmetic benefit.

These procedures include surgical procedures to cover unsightly, sensitive or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. While others can improve the appearance of short “immature” looking teeth by exposing more natural tooth structure. Use of these procedures can greatly improve the smile and or be used to enhance the cosmetic dentistry performed by your dentist.
