Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery in Poway, CA

An uneven gumline, excess gum tissue, or gum recession can affect the balance of your smile and, in some cases, your periodontal health. Whether your concerns are cosmetic, functional, or restorative, treatment should be based on your individual needs rather than a routine approach. At Tooth Rock Periodontics, we provide cosmetic periodontal surgery in Poway to improve gum contours while supporting healthy periodontal tissues and long-term oral health. Dr. Galya Raz and Dr. Travis Steinberg begin every patient’s care with a comprehensive periodontal evaluation to understand their concerns, assess their periodontal health, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

What Is Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery?

Cosmetic periodontal surgery includes procedures designed to improve the contour and symmetry of the gums while maintaining healthy periodontal tissues. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may be recommended to manage excess gum tissue, improve an uneven gumline, address gum recession, or prepare the gums before restorative treatment when clinically appropriate. Treatment may include procedures such as crown lengthening or gum grafting, depending on your diagnosis and treatment goals.

When Might Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Be Recommended?

A periodontal evaluation may be recommended if you:

• Have excess gum tissue covering part of your teeth
• Have an uneven or asymmetrical gumline
• Have gum recession affecting the appearance of your smile

Not every concern involving the appearance of the gums requires surgery. Your periodontist will determine whether treatment is appropriate following a comprehensive evaluation.

How Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Can Help

Depending on your diagnosis and treatment goals, treatment may help:

• Improve the contour and symmetry of the gumline
• Address excess gum tissue
• Improve the appearance of the gumline affected by gum recession
• Support restorative treatment when clinically appropriate
• Create a healthier relationship between the teeth and surrounding gum tissues
• Maintain long-term periodontal health

The benefits vary depending on your oral health, clinical findings, and the procedure recommended.
