Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Enhance Your Smile with Precision Periodontal Care
At our expert periodontal practice on Long Island’s South Shore, cosmetic periodontal surgery combines aesthetics with health. Our board‑trained periodontists specialize in reshaping gums for a beautiful smile while improving oral health.
What Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?
Aesthetic Periodontal Surgery focuses on enhancing the appearance and restoring the harmony that exists between teeth and gum tissues. Some of the common treatments are crown-lengthening with the popular term being “gum lift”, gum grafting for root coverage, and soft tissue contouring to treat gummy smiles or uneven gingival contours.
Benefit Highlights
- Restoration of Smile Aesthetics: Reshaping excessive or uneven gums to improve the visibility and symmetry of the teeth.
- Health and Functional: Cover exposed roots to decrease sensitivity and the risk of decay, thereby preventing further recession.
- Better Restorative Procedures: For instance, crown lengthening procedures may be done to enhance esthetic dental treatments and prostheses.
- Specialist Approach: Periodontists perform these procedures from an esthetic standpoint, possessing surgical skills.
- Comfort & Recovery: It is recommended to have the local anesthetic and optional sedatives to promote minimal discomfort and faster healing.
Cosmetic Procedures We Offer
Esthetic Crown Lengthening (Gum Lift)
This particular operation is mostly for those patients who may have a gummy smile or uneven gum line. Crown lengthening is the removal of excess tissue (sometimes bone) to expose more of the tooth surface and modify smile proportions.
Gum Grafting (Soft Tissue Augmentation)
Done to cover root exposures and alleviate gum recession. We work with methods including free gingival grafts or subepithelial connective tissue grafts to restore coverage and alleviate sensitivity.
We may recontour gum and bone for exemplary restorations (e.g., bridge or denture) to prepare the site for long-term aesthetics and function.
Laser-assisted techniques might be employed when deemed suitable, providing a low-trauma mode of tissue sculpting alongside expedited healing.

The Procedure Experience
First comes a very careful consultation and evaluation that includes periodontal assessment along with digital imaging. The next thing is to talk about your smile goals and create a plan that is just for you.
Your safety and comfort will always be our number one priority. Local anesthetics are administered before the procedure to prevent you from feeling any pain, though sedation can be offered if you so desire. Recovery typically lasts two weeks, at the end of which aftercare instructions will be provided. Most patients report very minimal swelling and are back to their normal lives in no time!
