If your teeth appear short or uneven, you may have excess gum tissue covering your natural tooth structure. Crown lengthening is a cosmetic periodontal surgery that reshapes the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth surface.
Benefits of Crown Lengthening:
Creates a more symmetrical and proportionate gum line.
Allows for the placement of dental crowns or veneers.
Improves the overall harmony of your smile.
Reduces the appearance of a gummy smile.
This procedure is often recommended for patients who want to enhance their smile aesthetics or require gum reshaping before a restorative dental procedure.
Gum recession can cause sensitivity, root exposure, and an aged appearance. Soft tissue grafting is a surgical procedure that restores lost gum tissue, covering exposed roots while enhancing the health and beauty of your smile.
Types of Soft Tissue Grafts:
Connective Tissue Graft – Most commonly used for root coverage.
Free Gingival Graft – Strengthens thin or weak gums.
Pedicle Graft – Uses adjacent gum tissue to repair recession.
By restoring gum tissue around teeth, soft tissue grafting prevents further gum loss and enhances smile aesthetics.
Tooth loss can lead to bone shrinkage and an indentation in your gums and jawline, affecting both aesthetics and function. Bone grafting is a specialized procedure used to restore lost bone structure, ensuring aesthetic and functional tooth replacement.
Why Consider Bone Grafting?
Preserves bone volume after tooth loss.
Supports future dental implants for a natural look.
Enhances facial structure by preventing gum and jaw collapse.
If you are considering dental implants or need ridge augmentation, bone grafting can provide a strong foundation for long-term success.
