Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery improves the overall look of your smile.
These procedures include Crown Lengthening and Soft Tissue Grafts.
Cosmetic periodontal procedures are a conventional way to cover unsightly, sensitive or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. If you are unhappy with the appearance of short, unsightly teeth this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures performed by Dr. Colón, Dr. Guzmán, Dr. Zellner and Dr. Overfelt in concert with your dentist.
Although your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with too much gum tissue. We can correct this by performing the periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue are reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to more than one tooth, even your gum line, to create a beautiful smile.
Another cosmetic procedure is the soft tissue graft It is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, reduce gum recession and protect the roots from decay and eventual loss. Tooth loss causes the jawbone to recede and can lead to an unnatural looking indentation in your gums and jaw and appearance of a general aging. The original look of your mouth may not be recaptured because of spaces remaining under and between replacement teeth. They may appear too long compared to nearby teeth.
Bone grafting following tooth loss can preserve the socket/ridge and minimize gum and bone collapse. There is less shrinkage and a more aesthetic tooth replacement for either an implant crown or fixed bridge around the replacement teeth.

WALTER E. COLON, II, DMD, MS And his staff were amazing. My son is who had the procedure. He was scared up until Doctor COLON came out and talked with him. He was able to make Kendall who is 14 feel a calm and relaxed. It allowed my momma heart to feel peace. Doctor Colon along with his team performed the surgery and when they woke Kendall he had a vanilla frosty from Wendy’s waiting. Wonderful Doctor and amazing staff. I would take my kids, family members and friends to this doctor. I recommend anyone who needs a surgery procedure to see Doctor Colon.
