Your gum tissue is like a frame that provides form, texture, color, shape and position to the top of your tooth. But often due to inflammation, tooth loss, abnormal position of teeth or gum recession, the gum can move into position too high or too low on the teeth. Sometimes, the tissue itself will lose the attachment to the root making the tooth more liable for infection and breakdown.

Asymmetries of gum position can result from mismatched bites and over or under erupted teeth. When the gums aren't right, it is not impossible to give the teeth the right look.

Gum Plastic Surgery can solve all these problems and more. We can actively interfere to move your gums using periodontal plastic surgery techniques. These procedures can reposition gum tissue around your teeth to create symmetry, gain new attachment of tissue and show the right gum length on each tooth.
