Dr. Anson has developed a reputation for his expertise in periodontal plastic surgery. With the use of his state of the art surgical microscope and specially developed periodontal plastic surgery techniques, Dr. Anson achieves exceptional esthetic results. We offer our patients a variety of cosmetic periodontal procedures to enhance the appearance of the teeth and smile.
One of the most common esthetic procedures is anterior crown lengthening to improve a “gummy” smile. This procedure involves reshaping the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth, or “lengthen” it. The procedure can be performed for a single tooth to even the gum line, or for several teeth to improve the appearance of the entire smile.

Although gum recession can be caused by a variety of reasons, the most common cause is aggressive tooth brushing. Gum recession results in exposed tooth roots. Soft tissue graft procedures involve adding soft tissue to reinforce thin gums or repair the defect caused by gum recession.

Covering the roots that make the teeth look too long will improve the esthetic appearance of the smile. This procedure will also help to prevent additional recession and bone loss; solve the problem of root sensitivity to hot and cold and protect the roots from decay.
