Improve The Health And Beauty Of Your Smile
Oral plastic surgery often consists of treatments to improve the aesthetics of your smile and overall oral health at the same time. Most of these treatments involve replacing important lost attachment tissue called Attached Gingiva, that protects the bone that actually holds the teeth. Often this provides coverage of previously exposed root surfaces as well.

Frenectomy
Having a lip- or tongue-tie is a common occurrence and can cause a gap to form between your front teeth. Frenectomy treatment often is performed to remove redundant muscle fibers between teeth that have a diastema or gap. These fibers frequently prevent permanent closure of the gap during Orthodontic treatment.

Gummy Smile Treatment
Those who show excessive gums when smiling are often said to have a “gummy smile.” The teeth will appear shorter than normal and removal of the excess soft tissue can significantly improve the esthetics, oral hygiene and overall self-esteem of the patient.
