Aesthetic crown lengthening (reducing gum tissue)

People who show a lot of gum in their smiles (so-called gummy smiles) are often embarrassed to smile freely. A simple procedure can allow them to smile confidently. Crown lengthening is a popular cosmetic periodontal procedure where excess gum and bone tissue is recontoured to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth to even your gum line or several teeth to reveal a genuine, broad smile.

Soft tissue grafting (to increase the soft tissue volume and height)

Conversely, sometimes gum recessions lead to teeth that appear too long. Furthermore, exposed roots are often temperature-sensitive. Soft tissue grafts can cover exposed roots, reduce the risk of further gum recession and protect vulnerable sources from decay and temperature sensitivity.
