Dr. Joseph S. Dallessandro and his staff see patients who are unhappy with their smiles for a variety of reasons. The total look of your smile includes the gums, and even when a patient’s teeth are healthy they may feel their gums keep them from a perfect smile. Cosmetic periodontal surgery is a way to reshape gums and achieve the look patients desire.
Cosmetic periodontal surgery is a technical way of saying sculpting the gum line. The procedure can include removing gum tissue, grafting gum tissue, or both. Patients with excess gum tissue may have a gummy smile, and this can be removed with a scalpel tool or laser to expose more of the tooth. Lack of gum tissue or gums that have receded can give the look of elongated teeth. In these cases, gum tissue is harvested from a healthy location in the patient’s mouth and grafted onto the area lacking tissue. With cosmetic periodontal surgery, we can help anyone achieve their ideal smile!
