Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Dr. Ghayoumi provides a wide variety of periodontal cosmetic procedures to improve the esthetic appearance of your teeth and smile. The most common cosmetic procedure in periodontics involves covering an exposed root from gum recession. Gum recession can often cause teeth to look unnaturally long. Soft tissue grafting can enhance the appearance of the tooth by covering the exposed tooth root.
Dr. Ghayoumi also performs cosmetic surgical techniques to correct a “gummy smile.” These techniques include esthetic crown lengthening and surgical lip repositioning. These cosmetic treatments are often life-changing by restoring a confident, beautiful smile for our patients.
hat Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?
Cosmetic periodontal surgery aims to enhance the appearance of your gums, teeth, and smile, unlike other types of surgery that aid our oral health.
Cosmetic procedures, as opposed to traditional restorative approaches, focus on improving the esthetic part of the different applications, including uneven gum lines with their here-and-there exposure of roots or excessive gingival tissues.
Dr. Ghayoumi’s approach to personalizing has given rise to various procedures to restore the desired results and cater to all patient needs. As such, the necessary combination of aesthetic and functional outcomes for long-lasting results is guaranteed.
Common Issues Addressed by Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
- Gum Recession
- Exposure of roots of the teeth due to gum recession leads to sensitivity and makes teeth look long. Soft tissue grafting restores the gum line to its natural appearance and protects the teeth.
- Gummy Smile
- The excess amount of gum tissue may make the teeth look shorter. Esthetic crown lengthening and lip repositioning are procedures used to expose a fair amount of the tooth structure, giving your smile a balanced look.
- Asymmetrical Gum Line
- Uneven gum lines can disrupt the harmony of your smile. Cosmetic periodontal surgery can reshape and contour the gums to create symmetry.
- Dental Implants and Gum Aesthetics
- Ensuring the gum line blends naturally with dental implants is crucial for patients with missing teeth. Ridge augmentation and gum contouring can enhance the aesthetics around implants.
Advanced Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures
- Soft Tissue Grafting
The process of soft tissue graft is transplanting tissue to an area where the gums have receded. The graft is usually taken from the roof of the mouth and will blend seamlessly with the existing gums, restoring both function and appearance. - Esthetic Crown Lengthening
This involves cutting away some gum tissue and contouring the gum line to expose more of the tooth. It is an excellent procedure for shortening highly covered gingival teeth. - Surgical Lip Repositioning
This changes the position of the upper lip so that gums aren’t visible when someone smiles. Minimal surgical intervention is required to create a drastic aesthetic change. - Gum Contouring
The gum line may be shaped using lasers or surgical techniques to maintain a symmetrical appearance. - Ridge Augmentation
The procedure ensures that after the loss of a tooth or bone loss, the natural contour of the areas of gum and jawline is restored so that these areas will look natural once dental implants or prostheses are placed. - Pinhole Surgical Technique
This new, innovative, minimally invasive technique treats gum recession without grafting or sutures, resulting in faster recovery and excellent results.
