Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is a restorative procedure designed to treat gum recession and protect the roots of your teeth, which can become exposed as gums recede. At Bria Dental, our gum grafting treatments use soft tissue from your mouth or a donor source to replace lost gum tissue, restoring both the health and appearance of your gums. This procedure helps prevent further recession, reduces tooth sensitivity, and enhances the balance of your smile.
Gum Lift
A gum lift, also known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and sculpts the gum line to create a more balanced and symmetrical smile. Your dentist will remove excess gum tissue and even out uneven gum lines, helping to reveal more of your natural teeth for a beautiful, proportionate smile. This treatment is Ideal for patients with 'gummy' smiles or uneven gums, this procedure is minimally invasive and can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile.
Gingivectomy
A gingivectomy is a procedure that removes excess or diseased gum tissue to improve both the health and appearance of your gums. Gingivectomies are used to treat gum disease or to reduce a 'gummy' smile by reshaping the gum line. This treatment helps eliminate bacteria-harboring pockets around the teeth, reducing the risk of further infection and creating a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
