Cosmetic periodontal procedures are specialized forms of periodontal surgery designed to enhance your smile by covering unsightly exposed root surfaces or, conversely, lengthening your natural teeth. If you are unhappy with appearance of short, unattractive teeth because of a "gummy smile" or exposure of excessive root structure due to gum recession periodontal cosmetic surgery may be right for you. We can correct either by performing periodontal plastic surgical procedures with root coverage grafts or removal of excessive gum tissue through crown lengthening.
