Esthetic Periodontics and Gum Grafting

For a more beautiful smile


To improve the appearance and function of your teeth, we offer a spectrum of esthetic dentistry options to make your smile really shine.


You may wish to improve the appearance and function of your teeth.

Gum recession is a condition of your gum tissue moving away from their natural position on the teeth. We can complete gum grafting to cover exposed roots which enhances esthetics of your smile and protects your teeth long-term.

Too much or too little gum detracts from the natural beauty of your teeth. This commonly occurs after orthodontic treatment, but may occur naturally.

Whether you decide to have the “finishing touch” after braces, or you need the appearance of your gums changed to enhance the result of veneers or bleaching, you have a spectrum of esthetic dentistry options to make your smile really shine.

When should you consider esthetic periodontal procedures?

  • If you’re concerned with the appearance of your teeth looking too short
  • If you have concerns with the gumminess of your smile
  • If your gum line is noticeably uneven
  • If you have darkened root surfaces which cause cosmetic concerns
  • You have exposed root surfaces that make your teeth look long
