What Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?

Cosmetic periodontal surgery refers to procedures that reshape or restore the gums for aesthetic improvement. This may include:

  • Removing excess gum tissue
  • Evening out uneven gum lines
  • Covering exposed tooth roots
  • Preparing your mouth for veneers, crowns, or implants



    Types of Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery We Offer

    PREPARE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS WITH BONE GRAFTING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

    • Gum Contouring (Gingivectomy): Removes excess gum tissue to reveal more tooth structure and balance your gum line.
    • Crown Lengthening: Reshapes gum and bone levels to expose more tooth — ideal for placing crowns or improving a short-tooth appearance.
    • Gum Grafting: Covers exposed roots using donor or your own gum tissue to restore receded areas and reduce sensitivity.

    Who Can Benefit from Cosmetic Gum Surgery?

    You may be a candidate if you:

    • Have a “gummy” or uneven smile
    • Experience gum recession
    • Plan to get cosmetic treatments like veneers or implants
    • Want to enhance your smile's symmetry and harmony

    We’ll personalize a treatment plan during your consultation based on your goals and gum health.

    How Cosmetic Gum Surgery Complements Other Treatments

    Gum surgery can elevate results when paired with:

    • Dental Veneers – Makes teeth look even and natural
    • Crowns & Implants – Enhances fit and appearance
    • Teeth Whitening – Provides a clean gum line to frame bright teeth

    A beautiful smile starts with healthy, symmetrical gums.
