Periodontal Plastic Surgery
The appearance of your gums plays a significant role in the overall harmony of your smile. Even healthy teeth can appear short, uneven, or asymmetrical when surrounded by excessive or irregular gum tissue. Gum contouring is an advanced periodontal plastic surgery procedure that carefully reshapes the gum line to create ideal symmetry, improve tooth proportions, and enhance overall smile aesthetics.
At LuxPerio Beverly Hills, every gum contouring procedure begins with a comprehensive smile analysis that evaluates tooth dimensions, facial proportions, lip position, and periodontal health. Rather than simply removing excess tissue, our specialists artistically sculpt the gingival architecture to complement your natural facial features while preserving the health and stability of the supporting tissues.
Ideal for patients with uneven gum lines, excess gingival tissue, or those preparing for veneers or other cosmetic restorations, gum contouring provides elegant, natural-looking enhancements that elevate the entire smile.
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible while smiling, causing the teeth to appear smaller than they truly are. Although often cosmetic in nature, excessive gingival display can affect confidence and the overall balance of the smile.
At LuxPerio Beverly Hills, gummy smile treatment begins with identifying the underlying cause. Our specialists evaluate the relationship between your teeth, gums, lips, facial muscles, and jaw to determine the most appropriate treatment. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include gum contouring, crown lengthening, lip repositioning, or a combination of advanced periodontal procedures.
Every treatment plan is carefully designed to create beautiful, balanced proportions while preserving healthy periodontal tissues and achieving naturally refined results.
Gum recession gradually exposes the roots of the teeth, increasing sensitivity while compromising both aesthetics and long-term oral health. Without treatment, recession may continue to progress, placing exposed roots at greater risk for decay, wear, and additional tissue loss.
Our periodontal specialists utilize advanced soft tissue reconstruction and minimally invasive microsurgical techniques to restore healthy gum coverage while strengthening delicate periodontal tissues. Every treatment plan is tailored to the severity of recession, tissue quality, and your long-term periodontal health goals, producing results that are functional, healthy, and virtually seamless.
Connective tissue grafting is a highly predictable periodontal procedure that restores receding gums, strengthens thin tissues, and protects exposed tooth roots. Using advanced microsurgical techniques, treatment enhances both oral health and the natural appearance of your smile.
Connective tissue grafting is one of the most effective solutions for treating gum recession and rebuilding weakened periodontal tissues. Healthy connective tissue is carefully placed beneath the existing gums to restore natural root coverage, reduce tooth sensitivity, and reinforce the long-term stability of your gumline.
Using advanced microsurgical techniques, Dr. Sam Gilani precisely positions each graft to maximize blood supply, promote faster healing, and achieve seamless integration with the surrounding tissues. The result is stronger, healthier gums that provide lasting protection while creating a natural, aesthetically balanced smile.
For many patients, a gummy smile is caused not by the gums themselves but by excessive elevation of the upper lip during smiling. Lip repositioning is a minimally invasive periodontal plastic surgery procedure that gently limits the upward movement of the upper lip, reducing excessive gum display while maintaining a natural facial expression.
Performed with meticulous precision, lip repositioning offers an effective alternative to more invasive surgical procedures for appropriately selected patients seeking a more balanced and confident smile.
The small triangular gum tissue located between adjacent teeth, known as the interdental papilla, is essential for creating a youthful, healthy smile. Loss of this delicate tissue can result in “black triangles,” affecting aesthetics, speech, and food retention.
At LuxPerio Beverly Hills, our specialists utilize advanced microsurgical and regenerative techniques to restore lost papilla whenever clinically appropriate. By rebuilding natural soft tissue contours, we improve smile aesthetics while promoting healthier periodontal architecture and long-term tissue stability.
Combining decades of surgical expertise, advanced technology, and a patient-centered approach to deliver exceptional periodontal and dental implant outcomes.
