Gummy Smile Correction
Sometimes, our gums overwhelm our teeth and cause what is often called a gummy smile. With this condition, there is too much gum tissue showing, which can make teeth look short and disproportionate. With a gum lift or crown lengthening procedure, we can remove excess gum tissue, reshape the contour of the gums, and give you a natural-looking gum line and teeth that appear to be a more correct length and size. This technique is also ideal if your gum line is uneven, making your teeth appear crooked even if they aren’t.
Pinhole® Gum Rejuvenation for Exposed Roots
When gums recede, the roots of teeth can become exposed. This not only causes pain, sensitivity, and a higher risk for infection, but it also makes teeth appear longer. We can perform a scalpel-free, suture-free, graft-free, minimally invasive procedure to repair the receding tissue, cover the roots, and restore your gum line to its natural form. Through a small hole made by a needle, Fort Bend Perio can correct gum recession, prevent tooth loss, and help you achieve a more youthful, attractive appearance.
Gum Indentations
If you’ve lost a tooth or had a tooth extracted, you may notice indentations in your gums where the tooth used to be. This is caused by bone loss in your jawbone that naturally occurs when a tooth is missing. In addition to using a dental implant to replace your missing tooth, we can perform ridge augmentation to smooth out the indentation and restore a natural curvature to your gums and jaw.
