Gingival (Gum)
Disease
for the ALLEN & MCKINNEY, TX AREAS
Your smile is often the first trait that people notice about you. If you work hard to keep your teeth healthy and white, the last thing you’d want is for the focal point of your grin to be your pink gum tissue. On the flip side of that coin, you also don’t want your smile to be predominantly overrun by your teeth. Our team offers several cosmetic gum procedures to help enhance the appearance of your smile and improve your oral health. That way, you can enjoy a symmetrical, even, and beautiful-looking grin that you’ll feel proud showing off.
Cosmetic Gum Augmentation
Cosmetic gum augmentation is typically performed following a tooth extraction. When a socket is left empty, it can cause the alveolar ridge of the jaw to shrink as you heal after your extraction, causing you to lose your distinct gum contour and creating an indentation in the gums. During this procedure. Our team will restore the original height and width of the alveolar ridge to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile when you restore it.
GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION
(Esthetic Crown Lengthening)
Esthetic crown lengthening is also commonly referred to as gummy smile correction or gum recontouring. If the majority of your smile is overrun by pink gum tissue, you may not feel like letting your full grin show. This is a common issue that many people face, and fortunately, we can help. We can precisely and strategically reshape your gumline to make it appear more even and reveal more of your dental structure by removing the overgrown tissue. In some cases, this procedure can also be used to ensure that restorations fit perfectly over a tooth.
