Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

If you are unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by Dr. Colón and cosmetic dentistry by your general dentist.

Although your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with too much gum tissue masking your tooth. We can correct this by performing the periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening.

During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is 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.

Another cosmetic procedure is the soft tissue graft.  It is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, reduce gum recession and protect the roots from decay or progressive loss of support that can lead to eventual tooth loss.
