Enhancing Your Smile & Gum Aesthetics
A balanced, attractive smile is not just about straight, white teeth. The shape, contour and health of your gums also play a significant role in your overall appearance. If you have a gummy smile, an uneven gumline or receding gums, cosmetic periodontal surgery can help improve the aesthetics of your smile while supporting better oral health.
What Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?
Cosmetic periodontal surgery involves procedures that reshape or enhance the appearance of the gums. These treatments are designed to create a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing gumline, helping to reveal more of your natural teeth and improve symmetry.
Our dentists may recommend cosmetic periodontal surgery to correct:
- A gummy smile – Excess gum tissue can make teeth appear short or small.
- Uneven gumline – Irregular gum contours can make teeth look asymmetrical.
- Gum recession – Receding gums can expose tooth roots, making teeth look longer than normal.
- Thin or weak gum tissue – Strengthening the gums can provide a healthier foundation for your teeth.
If you feel self-conscious about your gums, cosmetic periodontal surgery can create a more balanced and natural-looking smile.
Types of Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
There are several types of cosmetic periodontal procedures designed to enhance the gumline, including:
- Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy) – Removes excess gum tissue to create a more even and proportionate gumline.
- Crown Lengthening – Reshapes both the gum and underlying bone to expose more of the natural tooth.
- Gum Grafting – Uses healthy tissue to restore areas affected by gum recession, covering exposed roots and preventing sensitivity.
Our dentists will determine the best procedure based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
