Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Cosmetic periodontal procedures are a conventional way to cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. Cosmetic periodontal procedures are also used to reduce excessive gum tissue. If you are unhappy with the appearance of short, unsightly teeth, this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by Dr. Eisin and cosmetic dentistry by your dentist.
Dr. Eisin has an artistic eye, soft touch, and extensive experience and expertise with cosmetic periodontal surgery techniques to enhance your smile. Although your teeth may appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with excessive gum tissue creating a “gummy smile.” In this case, crown lengthening, or re-contouring the gum tissue and bone around the teeth in question, to create a new gum-to–tooth relationship, may be necessary.
Dr. Eisin also has current training with a procedure called Coronally Positioned Mucosal Flap surgery (CPMF). This conservative surgery technique is used in certain cases to restrict the lip from raising excessively upward when smiling, creating a full upper lip with less gum and more teeth in the smile.
A soft tissue graft (gum grafting), is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, reduce gum recession, and protect the roots from decay and eventual loss.
Tooth loss causes the jawbone to recede and can lead to an unnatural looking indentation in your gums and jaw, and appearance of a general aging. The original look of your mouth may not be recaptured because of spaces remaining under and between replacement teeth. They may appear too long compared to nearby teeth.
Bone grafting following tooth loss can preserve the socket/ridge and minimize gum and bone collapse. There is less shrinkage and a more aesthetic tooth replacement for either an implant crown or fixed bridge around the replacement teeth.

Dr. Eisen and her staff are wonderful. My son had a consultation with her and she was extremely thorough and made my son feel very comfortable. She is very attentive to detail and explained the entire process so there were no questions when we left. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this office!

Patient Review by Sarah Y
I was quite nervous about my appointment for an extraction and graft. I read the reviews and bios and researched heavily before making a choice for a Periodontist in the area. Dr. E is also a veteran and that was part of my deciding factor along with her other credentials. The front office team was fabulous organizing insurance, payment and working me in. Dr. and assistant were kind and took time to explain each step of my procedure. I was kept very comfortable throughout. I'm not needle phobic--just pain/surprise phobic--I have anxiety and a vivid imagination! So they kept me nice and numb and talked through each change of tool, its sound, etc. I was never in pain during the procedure and post procedure, with only OTC pain medication, I am in zero pain due in large part I believe to the methods Dr. E utilizes compared to experiences other friends have had with similar with other Drs. This was by far the most serious dental procedure I've ever had--but it was the best dental experience I've had. I even got a follow up call when the office was closed by the Dr. 10/10 recommend Dr. E and team for your perio needs. Thank you team!

Patient Review by Megan D
The entire staff at Eisin Periodontics could not have been more kind and welcoming or eased my worries any better. From my conversation to schedule an appointment to the comprehensive exam, I was made to feel completely at ease. I have never had a practitioner take as much time to answer my questions and explain every step of the exam as Dr. Eisin did. I'd highly recommend this practice to anyone, especially if you suffer from dental anxiety. Each staff member and Dr. Eisin were compassionate and non-judgmental. I wish more practices were like this.
