Periodontal Plastic Surgery
If you are looking to improve your smile Periodontal procedures may be able to help you accomplish that.
At OCF we offer a variety of Periodontal treatments such as Gum Graft Surgery, Regenerative Procedures, and Dental Crown Lengthening Procedure.
Do You Have Long Teeth With Exposed Roots?
Sometimes gum recession causes the tooth root to become exposed, which makes your teeth look long and can make you look older than you are. This recession can happen as a result of a variety of causes, including periodontal diseases. Gum graft surgery and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots, to reduce further gum recession and to protect vulnerable roots from decay.
Regenerative Procedures
At OCF we may recommend a regenerative procedure when the bone supporting your teeth has been destroyed due to periodontal disease. These procedures can reverse some of the damage by regenerating lost bone and tissue. During this procedure, Dr. Carlos Cruz folds back the gum tissue and removes the disease-causing bacteria. Membranes (filters), bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins can be used to encourage your body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and tissue.
Do You Have an Uneven Gum Line?
Do you feel your teeth look too short and your smile is too gummy or your gums cover too much of some teeth while leaving the others the right length? If so, dental crown lengthening might be the solution for you. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the tooth. Then your gum line is sculpted to give your new smile just the right look.
