Excessive Gums or Uneven Gums
Treatment for Uneven Gums Or Excessive Gum Tisuue
You may have inhertied excessive gums or uneven gums. There is a cosmetic solution for you called a gum lift which is a surgical proceedure done right in our Boise office.
Some abnormalities, as well as advanced gum disease that cannot be treated periodontically or non-surgically, may require application of gum grafts also know as soft tissue grafts. Such procedures can be used to cover an exposed root or correct uneven gum lines.
Gum Ridge Augmentation
Gum Ridge augmentation is a procedure that can shore up dents and other abnormalities in your gum line. People who lose a tooth, for example, may eventually develop a small indentation where the original tooth was located; this sometimes creates an uneven or unsightly gum line. Even if the tooth is replaced, the preceding shrinkage of the gum may cause the replacement tooth to look longer than the others.
Some gum grafting candidates may be referred to a periodontist.
