Periodontal Plastic Surgery

Enhancing the Function and Aesthetics of Your Smile

Periodontal plastic surgery is a specialized area of periodontics that focuses on improving both the function and appearance of the gums and surrounding tissues. Dr. AlJohani is highly trained in periodontal plastic surgery techniques, providing solutions that not only restore gum health but also create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Whether you’re experiencing gum recession, a gummy smile, or other gum-related issues, we offer a range of treatments designed to enhance your oral health and confidence.

Common Procedures in Periodontal Plastic Surgery

At API, we offer several advanced techniques in periodontal plastic surgery, including:

Soft Tissue Grafting (Gum grafting):

This procedure is used to treat gum recession, where the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing tooth roots. Gum grafting restores lost tissue, reduces sensitivity, and improves the aesthetics of your smile.

Frenectomy (Lip-Tie and Tongue-Tie):

A frenectomy is performed to remove or modify the frenulum, the small band of tissue that connects the lip or tongue to the gums. This is often needed for individuals with tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie, which can impact speech, eating, and oral hygiene.

Crown Lengthening:

This procedure is used to expose more of the tooth surface when a tooth is broken or decayed beneath the gum line. It can also be used to treat a gummy smile, where excess gum tissue covers too much of the teeth, creating an unbalanced appearance.

Gum Recontouring:

If your gums have an uneven or irregular appearance, gum recontouring can help reshape the gum line to improve symmetry and aesthetic appeal.
