Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is used to restore areas of gum recession due to unchecked periodontal disease and to protect exposed, vulnerable roots. By placing healthy tissue over the receded areas, gum grafting helps to reduce sensitivity, prevent further recession, and improve the appearance of the smile. This procedure also strengthens the gum line, supports underlying bone tissue, and enhances long-term oral health.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that exposes more of the natural tooth structure by carefully reshaping excess gum tissue. This treatment may be recommended to improve the aesthetics of what’s called a “gummy smile” or to allow the proper placement of a dental restoration. Crown lengthening helps to create a healthier, more balanced gum line, supports long-term oral health, and enhances both the function and appearance of your smile.
Gingivectomy
A gingivectomy focuses on removing excess or infected gum tissue that can trap bacteria and compromise oral health. While primarily performed to treat periodontal disease, it can also be used for aesthetic reasons, as it can improve the smile’s appearance and perfect its proportions. Better yet, recovery from a gingivectomy is fairly quick, and the results are usually permanent, meaning your future oral health is greatly bolstered.
Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that releases tight or restrictive tissue connecting the lips or tongue to the gums. It’s the go-to solution for lip and tongue ties because it’s quick, gentle, and highly effective. At our Katy office, since we use our soft tissue laser for this procedure, you can expect far less bleeding, swelling, or even the need for sutures, as well as a much faster healing period. We offer frenectomies for both children as well as adults, allowing you to address the concern at any stage in life.
