Periodontics

Teeth are held in place by surrounding gums, bones, and other structures ( periodontal ligament ). But gum disease can cause the bone to break down.

Gum contouring is also known as gingival sculpting or gingivoplasty. It is a cosmetic procedure that can change the shape of your gums ( the way they surround your tooth).

Gingival flap surgery is a procedure in which the gums are separated from the teeth and folded back temporarily to allow a dentist to reach the root of the tooth and the bone.
