Gum Surgery / Periodontal Surgery
Woodbury, NY

Your gums provide form and shape to your teeth. When the gums between your teeth become weak, the result is usually an unattractive smile. You can even lose gum tissue due to gum disease. Cosmetic gum surgery can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic dentistry procedures to restore your smile to it's original beauty. Gum surgery (or periodontal surgery) can correct conditions such as a "gummy smile" or "long in the tooth" smile. If your gums are receding, or are covering your teeth (as in a gummy smile), cosmetic gum surgery may be able to help you.
