What is cosmetic periodontal surgery?

Cosmetic periodontal surgery is a conventional way to improve the appearance of your smile while protecting sensitive and exposed root surfaces. If you are unhappy with short, unsightly teeth or visible gum recession, this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by our specialists and cosmetic dentistry by your general dentist.

These procedures are designed to cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed roots and prevent future gum recession. Although your teeth may appear short, they may actually be the proper length but covered with too much gum tissue. Tooth loss can also cause the jawbone to recede, leading to unnatural indentations and an aged appearance.

At Sigma Dental Specialists, Dr. Khalilkhani, Dr. Daghighi, Dr. Farhadian, and our team perform crown lengthening, gum grafting, and bone grafting to restore natural contours. Crown lengthening reshapes excess gum and bone to expose more tooth, while grafting preserves the ridge, minimizes collapse, and creates a more aesthetic result for implants or bridges.
