A beautiful smile shows most of the 8-10 upper teeth with almost no gum above the two front teeth. A smile is considered a “gummy smile” if a significant amount of gingival tissue (gums) can be seen as a person smiles.
Although a gummy smile is considered a normal variation of human anatomy, many people with gummy smiles are very self-conscious when smiling. Fortunately, these smiles can be corrected with simple periodontal surgery procedures. We can safely modify the position and shape of this gum so that more of your natural enamel and less gum shows when you smile.
Exposed tooth roots are the result of gum recession. You may wish to enhance your smile by covering one or more of these roots that make your teeth appear too long. Or, maybe you’re not bothered by the appearance of these areas, but you cringe because the exposed roots are sensitive to hot or cold foods and liquids.
Your gums may have receded for a variety of reasons, including aggressive tooth brushing or periodontal disease. You may not be in control of what caused the recession, but, prior to treatment, we can help you identify the factors contributing to the problem. Once these contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.
Soft tissue grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. During this procedure, gum tissue is taken from your palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root. This can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your gum line and reduce sensitivity.
Whether you have soft tissue grafts to improve function or aesthetics, you will receive the benefits of both: a beautiful new smile and improved periodontal health – your keys to smiling, eating and speaking with comfort and confidence.

These guys have so much experience and cutting-edge technique, I have full faith in the care they provide me. The whole staff is very friendly and thoughtful when performing cleanings and treatments. Some some people dread having to go to the dentist. I never do.
The staff are very friendly and the dentists are very knowledgeable on what you need to have done right away and what can just be watched so that your not spending a lot at once. When you need help they will get you in right away, and if after hours, your call is answered and are there to assist you including meeting you at the office if needed. Their dental plan they offer, is the best coverage you can find. I highly recommend this office if your looking for a new dentist!
The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. They get you in and out on time without waiting. I recommend asking about their insurance plan it was cheaper than the plan we had been paying .
