Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

These procedures are a predictable way to improve your smile.There are several different problems which may occur and each problem requires different treatment techniques. If you are have unsightly, sensitive or exposed root surfaces due to gum recession which causes long, no esthetic teeth, these teeth and root surfaces can be covered and repaired.This reduces gum recession and protectes the rooyts from decay and eventual tooth loss. This procedure is commonly called a "gum graft". Please call us for a consultation if you are considering getting Cosemetic Periodontal Surgery in the Southern New Jersey Area.

If you are unhappy with appearance of short, unsightly teeth due to a "gummy smile", this can also be greatly improved through a combination of periodontal procedures by your periodontist and cosmetic restorative dentstry by your dentist. Although your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with too much gum tissue. This can be corrected by performing the periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening.
 
          Dramatically change and improve the
         appearance of your smile

During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue are reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to more than one tooth, to even your gum line, and to create a beautiful smile.

 
EXTRACTION and SOCKET PERSERVATION
 
Tooth loss causes the jawbone to recede and can lead to an unnatural looking indentation in your gums and jaw, creating an appearance of premature aging. The original look of your mouth may not be recaptured due to loss of bone and gum tissue. Attempts to replace missing teeth without first repairing the issing bone and gum tissue may create teeth which appear too long ang have unsightly spaces between these teeth.
 
Bone grafting following tooth loss can preserve the socket/ridge and minimize gum and bone collapse. There is less shrinkage and a more esthetic tooth replacement for either an implant crown or fixed bridge around the replacement teeth once grafting is accomplished
