Periodontal surgery

The gum is not a detail around the crown.

What it is

Dr. Tetri is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. Cosmetic porcelain that ignores the periodontium fails at the margin. Surgical gum work here is planned with the final tooth in mind — grafting, gingivoplasty, and the architecture a ceramist can actually finish against.

For

  • 01

    Recession, a gummy smile, or inflammation under old veneers.

  • 02

    Implants showing through thin tissue.

  • 03

    A referral after another room prepared the teeth and ignored the gum.

  1. 01 — Chart

    Pockets, biotype, the smile line, the restorations already in the way.

  2. 02 — Rebuild the frame

    Graft or reduce. The edge of the gum is a design line.

  3. 03 — Then the tooth

    Veneers and implants belong after the tissue has spoken.

If the gum is wrong, the porcelain is already a lie.
