Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?
Is Having a Gum Lift Really Necessary for Your Oral Health?
If your gums rest too low or too high on your teeth and you are unhappy with your smile, you may be a candidate for gum contouring surgery. Also called gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of.
A number of things can cause your gums to be too low or too high. Gums that cover a large portion of your teeth can make your teeth look small. This may be the result of genetics, a particular health problem, or taking certain prescription drugs.
“ Not only can gum recession make your teeth look long, it can lead to serious dental problems such as decay and tooth loss. ”
Gums that are too high and make your teeth appear long are often caused by gum recession, a condition in which gum tissue pulls back from a tooth and exposes the tooth‘s root.

I took my 93 year old grandmother to see Dr. A Mazratian for a second opinion and WOW…so glad I did! He explained everything to us and made her feel very comfortable. He even gave her a free implant because he didn’t want her to go through the rest of her life missing any teeth (my grandmother is very modest and didn’t think she needed another implant and would have settled for a missing tooth). What a saint. Thank you Dr. A Maz!!

We visited the office today to address a problem my daughter was having with one of her gums. The front desk personnel from the initial phone call until the end of the appointment were exceptionally professional, kind and informative. There was virtually no wait time and everyone worked very efficiently. Dr A. Mazratian was kind and reassuring to my nervous daughter. He spent a fair amount of time with us explaining what he found and put our minds at ease. The appointment ended up being far less than I anticipated and I felt like everyone truly cared about their patient’s. I would highly recommend this doctor based on our experience.

Dr. A Mazratian and his staff are more than great! They made sure I was comfortable and calm, and went over what to expect during the procedure and after. I couldn’t be satisfied with his work! I will be sending friends & family to his office. If you are looking for a Periodontist this is the office you need to go too!
