Periodontal Plastic Surgery
At Minnesota Periodontal Associates, our goal is to improve the smiles and oral health of our patients, starting with their gums. Your gums are an extremely important part of your oral health both for function and aesthetic reasons. Periodontal plastic surgery helps restore the function and appearance of your gum line.
When Is Periodontal Plastic Surgery Needed?
Our team at Minnesota Periodontal Associates performs periodontal plastic surgery when a patient has significant concerns or loss of gum tissue. This procedure is used to rebuild and repair lost gum and/or cover the tooth roots with natural gum tissue–resulting in a better-looking and healthier smile and reducing tooth sensitivity and root cavities.
Periodontal plastic surgery is meant to improve the overall aesthetic look of your smile and the strength of your gum tissues. This is not to be considered a “cure” for any stage of periodontal disease–it is to rebuild surrounding gum areas so it can better support the teeth and create an improved smile appearance.
