Cosmetic Procedures

Today more and more patients are asking that their smiles be as attractive as possible. Newer cosmetic periodontal surgery is solving many of these problems today, both with and without the use of crowns and veneers.

Correcting the Gummy Smile

The gummy smile makes the teeth look short and not in proportion with the patient's face.  By sculpting the gum to make the teeth appear more natural, the smile can be greatly enhanced.

The beauty of most gummy smile transformations is that they are simply "unextreme makeovers".

Most patients' needs can be satisfied without costly and time-consuming restorative makeovers requiring extensive crowns and facings reconstructions.
