Transform Your Smile with Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Do you feel self-conscious about your smile because of large gums or damaged teeth? We can help you fix these concerns and get you the smile of your dreams with periodontal plastic surgery. At Mountain Top Periodontics & Implants, we can make minor tweaks to your gums and teeth to provide major improvement to your smile. Your ideal smile is within reach! We have two different procedures that may be able to help you get the smile you want and deserve:
Esthetic Crown Lengthening
An esthetic crown lengthening procedure can correct that “gummy” smile that makes you want to hide your teeth. During a visit that will last only about an hour, our team can transform your smile by performing a “gum lift.” Our periodontist will remove excess gum and bone tissue and reshape your smile to let more of your natural tooth shine. One to two weeks after the procedure, you will have a follow-up appointment so our experienced team can evaluate your healing progress.
Clinical Crown Lengthening
A Clinical Crown Lengthening procedure is for teeth that are too far decayed or broken below the gum line. Similarly to esthetic crown lengthening, our skilled dentists can remove gum and bone tissue to reshape your smile. After you heal for six to eight weeks, the doctor will be able to place the final restoration piece, such as a crown or bridge, to get you back your smile.
Gingivectomy
In order to have optimal oral health, we have to take good care of our teeth and gums. When we don’t pay close attention to our gums, we can cause the progression of gum disease. If we don’t properly clean and maintain our gum health, gingivitis can take over and cause irritation, bleeding, and even loss of teeth.
Luckily, there are ways to rid the mouth of gingivitis so that gum disease can’t advance. If your gingivitis cannot be cured with scaling and planing, we can perform a gingivectomy to remove diseased gum tissue and get your mouth back to feeling its best.
How It Works
With a gingivectomy at Mountain Top Periodontics & Implants, we remove and reshape loose, diseased gum tissue to reduce the depth of pockets between teeth and gums, which will likely reverse the effects of gum disease.
After just a few weeks, the gums will be completely healed and free of gingivitis so that your smile is healthy and shining.
Bottom Line
You shouldn’t have to suffer from the effects of gum disease. At Mountain Top Periodontics & Implants, we can help you manage – and potentially reverse — the effects of gum disease.
So, don’t be discouraged by your oral health! If your periodontal disease can no longer be cured with scaling or root planing, there is still hope with a gingivectomy. We can help you get your beautiful smile back with bright, healthy gums. Call to schedule an assessment as soon as possible and find relief with our judgement-free team. We’re ready to support your oral health.
These periodontal plastic surgery procedures not only restore a smile to its natural glory but also provide the added benefit of controlling and preventing periodontal disease.
