The facts about Cosmetic Gum surgery
Gum aesthetics
The important of how the gums look is often overlooked when it comes to the perception of a beautiful smile. The appearance and health of the gums are as important if not more so when it comes to beautiful aesthetics.
Cosmetic gum surgery
Cosmetic gum surgery (also known as 'Periodontal-plastic surgery') is a highly specialised area of dentistry usually carried out by a gum specialist which aims to
- Reverse the effects of recession
- Strengthen the gums to make them more durable for optimum health and function.
- Removing excess gum tissue where there is an overgrowth of your gums thereby improving your smile.
Do you have gum recession and longer looking teeth which look unsightly?
Do you suffer from sensitivity caused by your recession?
Do you constantly suffer from sore/gums ulcers after tooth brushing?
If you answered to any or all of the above questions then you may be the perfect candidate for cosmetic gum surgery
