Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

These procedures are a predictable way to cover unsightly, sensitive or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. If you are unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by Drs. Rapoport and Schuler and cosmetic dentistry by your dentist.

Crown Lengthening

When decay occurs below the gumline, it may be necessary to remove a small amount of bone and gum tissue. Your dentist may ask for this procedure before he or she makes a new crown for your tooth.

Reshaping the gum and supporting tissues: This will allow your general dentist adequate room to place a quality final restoration.

Final Restoration: Another indication for crown lengthening is when the front teeth are too short or of uneven length.
