We have a wonderful periodontist in the practice which performs all types
of periodontal services from implants, to gum surgery, or osteosurgery, to
tissue grafts for recession. Then a thing that we do with a lot of our
cosmetic cases which is wonderful, where he's very talented, is cosmetic
periodontal procedures from cosmetic gingivectomies, for instance, the
common name is a gummy smile, where there's too much gum in the patients
smile. He'll level off and scallop the gums up so they'll be nice and even
to give a little more crown length to the tooth to make it more aesthetic.
In some places where one tooth is high with the gum and one tooth is low
with the gum, he'll balance it out, and it just makes a world of difference
in the appearance of the case.
That's one of the things we do well together as a team, where the patient
will come in, I will prep the case, put the provisional temporary on which
will look wonderful, and then he will do the surgery and align the gums to
create just a beautiful smile. That's something cosmetically we do very
well together.
