Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery in Charlotte, NC
Cosmetic periodontal procedures can enhance both the health and appearance of your gums, helping to cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, and prevent further gum recession. If you’re unhappy with the look of short or uneven teeth, a combination of periodontal procedures by Dr. Parsons and cosmetic dentistry by your general dentist can help create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
Crown Lengthening
Sometimes, teeth may appear shorter than they actually are due to excess gum tissue covering their natural length. Crown lengthening is a periodontal plastic surgery procedure that reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This can be performed on one or multiple teeth to create a more even gum line and improve your smile.
Gum Grafting
For patients with gum recession, a soft tissue graft can help cover exposed tooth roots, enhance gum appearance, and protect against further tissue loss and decay. This procedure not only improves aesthetics but also strengthens the gums to prevent future damage.
Bone Grafting
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone naturally recedes, leading to an indentation in the gums and an aged appearance. Bone grafting helps preserve the jaw structure, preventing excessive bone loss and providing a stable foundation for future restorations like dental implants or bridges. This procedure ensures a more natural look and better fit for replacement teeth.
