Periodontal Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Procedures

If you show a lot of gum tissue when you smile and your teeth are short, you may be a candidate for Cosmetic Crown Lengthening. Your teeth may be the proper length, but they are hidden with excessive gum tissue. This “gummy smile” can be corrected by performing Cosmetic Crown Lengthening. This periodontal procedure is a careful reshaping of the tissue to expose the natural length of your tooth.
