What is Cosmetic Dental Surgery?

Cosmetic dental surgery focuses on improving the shape, balance, and overall appearance of your smile through carefully planned surgical procedures. These treatments are typically recommended when changes to the gums, teeth, or underlying jaw structure are needed to create better proportions between the teeth and gums. In many cases, cosmetic dental surgery is used to correct concerns such as a gummy smile, uneven gumlines, missing teeth, or insufficient bone support in the jaw.

‍

Depending on your specific needs, treatment may include procedures such as gum contouring to reshape excess or uneven gum tissue, crown lengthening to expose more of the natural tooth structure, or dental implants to replace missing teeth with secure, long-lasting restorations. In situations where the jawbone has weakened or lost volume, procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift may be recommended to rebuild bone and create a stable foundation for dental implants. The goal is not only to enhance the appearance of your smile, but also to support proper bite function, maintain healthy oral structures, and create results that look natural and feel comfortable in everyday life.

Preparation for Your Cosmetic Dental Surgery

Preparing for cosmetic dental surgery begins with a detailed evaluation of your teeth, gums, and jaw structure to determine the most appropriate procedure for your smile goals. This assessment helps identify concerns such as uneven gumlines, excessive gum tissue, missing teeth, or insufficient bone support that may need to be addressed through procedures like gum contouring, crown lengthening, or dental implant placement.

‍

Patients should also inform their dentist about any medical conditions, medications, or previous dental treatments that could affect surgical planning or healing. Sharing this information helps the dental team prepare the safest and most appropriate treatment approach. Before cosmetic dental surgery, maintaining good oral hygiene is important to keep the mouth healthy and reduce bacteria around the treatment area. In some cases, patients may also be advised to temporarily avoid certain medications, smoking, or other habits that could interfere with proper healing before the procedure.

Why Patients Love Ahn Dental Specialists

After trying many dentists around Los Angeles, I'm so glad to have found Dr. Ahn's office. Her and her staff are awesome! Everyone in the office is always really happy and upbeat. The cleanings are very thorough and they make sure you feel comfortable throughout. Jill always does an awesome job cleaning my teeth and explaining the best ways for me to brush and floss at home. Highly recommend!
Tess W.
My kids have been seeing Dr Ahn for almost two years now. Not only she gives them the best dental care, she is also very patient and understanding. When my 10 year old was feeling nervous, Dr Ahn and her staff gave her enough time and kindly explained about the treatment. Highly recommended!
Yuni K.
Great office all around - nice staff, flexible scheduling, very gentle hygienists, and Dr Ahn is so nice and caring. I just had an emergency filling done on New Year’s Eve and she took her time and I didn’t feel a thing. The best dentist I’ve ever had!
Steve G.
We have been going to Dr Ahn dental for the last couple years. Her staff is always so welcoming and nice. They are great if you have little ones who might be afraid of going to the dentist. My girl also appreciates the prize bin at the end of the cleaning! I would highly recommend.
Andy C.
Amazing doctor! I needed an implant in the front and Dr Ahn restored it in such an amazingly natural way that you can’t tell which tooth is “fake” - I’ve been self conscious about it for a while. I’m smiling more and I love it! Thanks!
