You may not realize the importance of gum tissues until you experience problems that affect your function or self-esteem. Issues like tongue-tie, a “gummy” smile, or gum disease can make living a healthy and confident life difficult.

Our periodontist and team have completed years of focused education and training after dental school in diagnosing, treating, and preventing gums-related problems. This experience also includes specialized bone and tissue grafting and dental implants. Our team has the expertise to efficiently and effectively treat your gum tissues with personalized and targeted treatment.
A gingivectomy removes excess gum tissue to improve oral health or enhance the appearance of your smile. This extra tissue can sometimes develop due to medications, braces, or a condition called altered passive eruption.
A gingivectomy carefully reshapes the gums, making cleaning your teeth and gums easier and improving their appearance. Gingivectomies are a fantastic option to address overgrown gum tissue and restore balance to your smile!
A frenectomy removes or modifies the frenulum, a small band of tissue in the mouth found under the tongue or on the lips. It is often done to correct conditions like tongue-tie or lip-tie, which can affect speech or cause breastfeeding difficulties.
This procedure can also help prevent dental issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or gaps between teeth. A frenectomy can make a huge difference in your oral health and quality of life by improving the comfort and function of your smile!
