Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Your gums play a critical role in both oral health and the beauty of your smile. As a board-certified periodontist, I provide expert periodontal plastic surgery designed to restore gum health, correct soft tissue concerns, and enhance esthetics — all using advanced, minimally invasive techniques.
What Is Periodontal Plastic Surgery?
Periodontal plastic surgery focuses on reshaping, rebuilding, or correcting the soft tissues around your teeth. These procedures help treat gum recession, uneven gum lines, and inadequate gum attachment — improving both your smile and your long-term oral stability.
Common Conditions We Treat
- Gum recession – Exposed roots due to tissue loss.
- Gummy smile – Excessive gum display when smiling.
- Irregular or asymmetric gum lines – Creating imbalance or esthetic concern.
- Thin or insufficient attached gingiva – Which can lead to tissue instability or discomfort.
Minimally Invasive Gum Treatments We Offer
I use gentle, precise methods designed to reduce discomfort and promote faster healing, including the use of tissue substitutes to avoid the need for a second surgical site.
- Connective Tissue Grafts: To cover exposed roots and thicken gum tissue. We often perform this using minimally invasive tunneling techniques for reduced recovery time.
- Free Gingival Grafts: To increase the zone of attached gingiva, especially important for stability around implants.
- Tissue Substitutes : In many cases, I use high-quality biocompatible grafting materials (rather than harvesting your own tissue) — an excellent option for patients seeking minimally invasive care without a second surgical site.
Crown Lengthening: Performed with minimal discomfort to expose more of your tooth for esthetic or restorative purposes.
Gingival Contouring: Using gentle reshaping methods to balance your gum line and enhance smile symmetry.
Gummy Smile Correction: A refined, conservative approach to reduce excessive gum visibility with minimal post-op discomfort.
