Periodontal cosmetic surgery refers to changing the way your gums frame your smile. Just as the beauty of a painting is influenced by the frame, the appeal of your smile is influenced by your gums. Cosmetic surgery is utilized to raise, lower, or recontour the shape of your gingiva. With these techniques, you can determine the first impression that your smile makes on others. The asymmetries of your smile that are determined by your gums can be corrected to create a pleasing appearance.
