Smile Enhancement

Smile Enhancement Procedures

A smile enhancement is a cosmetic gum treatment aimed at restoring the gum levels to their natural and esthetic levels. Exposed roots (gum recession) or excess gum tissue can be very distressing for some people not just because of the unsightly appearance but also they can be extremely sensitive to temperature as well as certain foods.

Smile enhancement procedures work by reshaping uneven gum lines, reducing a gummy smile or adding gum tissue when teeth appear too long. To find out if we can help you improve your smile, call the office and schedule an appointment with one of the doctors.

Esthetic Crown Lengthening
(or Improving a Gummy Smile)

Some individuals have teeth that look very short. However, often the teeth are normal size but covered with excess gum tissue. An esthetic crown lengthening procedure can improve your smile by removing and reshaping excess gum tissue to expose more of your natural tooth.

Gum Recession Treatment

Recession of the gum line is a frequent finding among adults. It happens as a result of a variety of causes including periodontal disease, genetics and trauma from overaggressive tooth brushing. Normally gum tissue surrounds and protects the delicate roots of your teeth. Exposed tooth roots are prone to tooth decay, root canals, discoloration and actual jawbone loss. All of this can lead to tooth loss in advanced cases.

Gum replacement grafts can be performed to cover the exposed roots reducing the gum recession, improving your beautiful smile with normal contours and lengths of both teeth and gums being in harmony.
