You’ll Enjoy Comfortable Gum Surgery

Cosmetic gum treatment is designed to enhance the beauty of your gumline, contributing to a more attractive smile. However, having the foundation of good oral health is necessary for any cosmetic procedure. Dr. Lee ensures your gums are free from infection before making any alterations. If you have gum disease, he will eliminate it prior to your surgery.

Depending on your unique needs, your dentist may recommend treatment to:

  • Restore Your Gumline - Dr. Lee will replenish your gumline, so you can achieve a healthy-looking smile again.
  • Lengthen Your Teeth - Excessive gum tissue can give you the appearance of short teeth. Dr. Lee will adjust the gumline, so you can receive your crowns or veneers.
  • Even Out Your Gums - If your gums are uneven, Dr. Lee can correct that to give you a symmetrical and attractive smile.

Your dentist uses advanced technology, such as laser equipment, to perform many cosmetic gum procedures. This encourages the healing process while making the entire experience more comfortable for you. Sedation through laughing gas is also available to ease your dental nerves.

You may also want to consider other cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile's beauty. Discreet orthodontics are available to fix any alignment issues. You can also whiten your teeth or cover up flaws with veneers or crowns.
