Short Teeth Long Teeth Lacking Bone Support Thin/Transparent GumsShort Teeth
Although your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length but covered with too much gum tissue. Alternatively, they may simply be too short or worn down and need lengthening. Either way, we can correct this with a cosmetic procedure called crown lengthening. Excess gum and bone tissue are reshaped to create natural, well proportioned teeth. This can be done to more than one tooth or to even out your gum line, in order to create aesthetic harmony and achieve a beautiful smile.

Long Teeth
In contrast to short teeth, long teeth can also be unsightly. Soft tissue grafting is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, to reduce gum recession. Soft tissue grafting can also protect the roots from decay that would normally lead to eventual tooth loss.

Without a tooth to stimulate growth the gums and bones that normally support our teeth will recede, leading to an unnatural looking indentation in the face and creating the appearance of aging. Even with a bridge or denture, the original look of your mouth may not be recaptured because of the spaces remaining under and between replacement teeth. Cosmetic Bone grafting builds and retains the full support and appearance of the jaws, restoring the teeth to a more youthful appearance.
Bone grafting can also prevent or greatly reduce the bone and soft tissue loss that normally occurs with tooth removal. There is less shrinkage and so a more aesthetic and natural looking tooth replacement can be achieved.

Thin/Transparent Gums
For genetic reasons, some people have insufficient or thin/transparent tissue, so thin you can see the white of the bone underneath, or even an unsightly grey shadow of a discoloured root or existing implant. This tissue has yet to advance to recession. To get ahead of the game, before the yellow ugly roots happen, we can minimize tissue loss by providing the type and thickness of gums nature was supposed to give you.
