In addition to procedures to treat periodontal disease, Dr. Suway also performs cosmetic procedures to enhance your smile. Many patients who pursue cosmetic procedures notice improved function as well.  A "gummy" smile or short appearing teeth can be corrected with a a cosmetic periodontal "gum lift".  During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to one tooth, to even your gum line, or to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile.
