A confident smile isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s also about healthy gums and balanced proportions between teeth, gums, and lips. In recent years, procedures such as gum grafting in Houston, lip repositioning, and esthetic crown lengthening have become increasingly sought after.
At Periodontal and Implant Surgeons of Houston, these treatments aren’t simply about looks—they’re about improving oral health, restoring comfort, and creating harmony in the smile.
Gum recession can make teeth look longer, cause sensitivity, and increase the risk of root decay. Gum grafting involves gently repositioning or adding tissue to cover exposed roots, protect teeth, and restore a balanced gumline.
Health benefits: Protects roots from decay and wear.
Aesthetic benefits: Creates a fuller, healthier gumline.
Patient experience: With advanced microsurgical techniques, discomfort is minimized, and healing times are faster than ever.
By addressing gum recession early, patients avoid more complex treatments later, while also enjoying a smile that feels and looks better.
An excessive gingival display—often called a “gummy smile”—can affect self-confidence. Lip repositioning surgery repositions the upper lip to reveal less gum and more teeth, creating a balanced smile.
What patients notice in before-and-after transformations:
Gums appear proportionate to teeth.
The upper lip looks fuller and more natural.
The smile feels more relaxed and confident.
This minimally invasive procedure takes about 30–45 minutes and requires only local anesthesia in most cases. Recovery is quick, with visible improvements immediately after swelling subsides.
Sometimes, teeth appear short not because they’re small, but because they’re covered by excess gum tissue. Esthetic crown lengthening gently reshapes gum and bone levels to reveal more tooth structure, improving balance in the smile.
Ideal for patients with uneven gumlines.
Often combined with restorative or cosmetic dental work.
Provides long-lasting improvements to both function and aesthetics.
