Cosmetic periodontal treatments are a trusted way to cover exposed, sensitive, or unattractive tooth roots and to help prevent gum recession in the future. If you’re concerned about short or uneven-looking teeth, a blend of skilled periodontal procedures by Dr. Uemura, Dr. Vassilopoulos, or Dr. Shah, combined with cosmetic dental care, can transform your smile beautifully.
Request an AppointmentSometimes, teeth appear short not because they are, but because they’re covered by excess gum tissue. We can restore a balanced, radiant smile through crown lengthening, a periodontal plastic surgery procedure that reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth. This can be done on multiple teeth, evening out your gum line for a harmonious look.
Another option is a soft tissue graft, which covers unattractive tooth roots, reduces recession, and safeguards the roots from decay or loss.
When teeth are lost, the jawbone can shrink, leading to indentations in the gums and jaw that affect your appearance and can make replacement teeth look too long or unnatural. Bone grafting helps preserve the jaw’s shape after tooth loss, reducing shrinkage and creating a better foundation for implants, crowns, or bridges.
