What is cosmetic periodontal surgery?

Cosmetic periodontal surgery encompasses services that improve the health and appearance of your gums. Surgery can also address damage or irregularities in the other structures that support your teeth, including your jawbone.

Denta Smiles offers advanced periodontal surgical procedures for adults and adolescents. The dental team uses the latest techniques, including laser treatments, to improve your oral health and revitalize your smile.

In addition to surgery, the team provides after-care guidance to help you heal without pain or complications like an infection. They continue to monitor the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw to prevent periodontal disease and tooth loss.

If you feel anxious about visiting the dental office, our experts provide several options for sedation dentistry, including nitrous oxide to make your visit more comfortable. 

Which cosmetic periodontal surgeries are available?

Denta Smiles provides several minimally invasive surgical procedures to address issues affecting your gum or jawbone health. Available surgeries include:

Gum grafting

Gum grafting surgery treats gum recession — a condition that can lead to tooth damage and loss. This surgery transplants tissue from another part of your body to your gum line to cover exposed roots and enhance the look of your smile.

Surgical extraction

Surgical extraction removes teeth damaged beyond repair. The team may recommend extracting a tooth that’s severely decayed, injured by trauma, or damaged by periodontal disease.

The team uses the latest techniques to ensure your treatment is comfortable and that your mouth heals quickly.

When would I need periodontal cosmetic surgery?

You might be a candidate for periodontal cosmetic surgery if you have a gummy smile due to excess gum tissue. The team uses laser technology to remove tissue so more of your tooth is visible.

Surgery may also be an option if a tooth extraction results in the recession of your jawbone. When your jaw is no longer anchoring a tooth in place, grooves can form in the bone or gums, affecting your smile. Gum and jaw irregularities can also affect the outcome of dental implants if you wish to replace one or more missing teeth.
