Periodontal Plastic Surgery Procedures

Periodontists are often considered the plastic surgeons of dentistry. If you are looking to improve your smile, a periodontist may be able to help.

Grafting procedures may be used to cover exposed root surfaces due to recession of the gum line.  If teeth look too short the gum line may be raised to expose more of the crown.  Where a tooth has been lost for some time, the soft tissue and bone can be augmented to sill in a defect and allow a new tooth to be placed with an improved aesthetic result.
