Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery in Silverdale, WA

Enhance & Protect Your Gums With Our Silverdale Periodontist

Do the looks of your gums make you uncomfortable? At Lowell Street Dental Implant and Surgical Center, Dr. Greggory Wilde can change how your gums look with our cosmetic periodontal surgeries. These procedures are a predictable way to cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession.

If you’re unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth, we can improve with a combination of periodontal procedures by our Silverdale periodontist and cosmetic dentistry by your dentist. Discover how you can benefit from these procedures.

What Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?

Cosmetic periodontal procedures modify the gum tissue to improve your smile’s appearance. The procedures can cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and prevent future gum recession.

Patients can benefit from cosmetic periodontal surgery if they have:

  • Low gum line (gummy smile)
  • High gum line due to gum disease
  • Uneven gum line

Dr. Wilde will even out the gum lines with our cosmetic periodontal surgery if you’re dealing with uneven gum lines. For perfection, the goal would be to even the gum line. In that case, you would need both gum reduction and gum grafting surgeries.

Our Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Options

Crown Lengthening

If you have teeth that appear short due to excess gum tissue, creating a gummy smile, we have the treatment perfect for you. We can correct this by performing the periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening.

We’ll reshape the excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to more than one tooth, to even your gum line, and to create a beautiful smile.

Soft Tissue Graft

Tooth loss causes the jawbone to recede and can lead to an unnatural-looking indentation in your gums and jaw, an appearance of general aging. Dr. Wilde can restore your gums with a soft tissue graft, also known as a gum graft. This procedure can: 

  • Cover unattractive tooth roots
  • Reduce gum recession
  • Protect the tooth’s roots from decay and eventual loss

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting following tooth loss can preserve the socket/ridge and minimize gum and bone collapse. There’s less shrinkage and a more aesthetic tooth replacement for an implant crown or fixed bridge around the replacement teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I expect to see immediate results after cosmetic periodontal surgery?

Yes. You may expect to see results immediately after your cosmetic periodontal surgery. However, the results may not be finalized until you’ve healed from the surgery.

Is cosmetic periodontal surgery a permanent solution for improving the appearance of my gums?

In most cases, the results of cosmetic periodontal surgery are permanent. To ensure the results stay, it’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly to ensure the health of the gums.

Can I combine cosmetic periodontal surgery with other dental procedures?

Yes, it’s possible to combine cosmetic periodontal surgery with other dental procedures, such as dental veneers or teeth whitening, to enhance your overall smile’s appearance. You must discuss this with your dentist and periodontist to determine the best treatment plan that meets your dental needs and goals.
