Aesthetic crown lengthening (reducing gum tissue)

People who show a lot of gum in their smile (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 to several teeth to expose a natural, 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 roots from decay and temperature sensitivity.
