Longer looking teeth is an unacceptable end result in the front of the mouth.

Traditional long-term deep cleaning (root plane) or conventional pocket elimination surgery may lead to this less attractive end result.

The surgery involves eliminating the pockets and encouraging the gum back to its original position using root conditioning such as chemicals or proteins.

The end result is gum at or near to the original pre-surgery position with minimal pocketing.

In some cases the gum can be made to cover more of the tooth.
