Periodontists Are Considered The Plastic Surgeons of Dentistry

Dr. Elly Tehrani performs the Pinhole Surgical Technique™ to correct your receding gums quickly and conveniently. The gum tissue that frames a tooth can be repositioned without incisions or sutures and Dr. Tehrani can utilize this procedure on any number of teeth in a single session. This means you get a healthier smile in less time, saving you countless dental visits. And, because there are no incisions, there is little to no discomfort and no sutures needed. Learn More >

Gummy smiles can be corrected with a gum lift. If you have excess gum tissue making your teeth look short, Dr. Tehrani can sculpt the gum tissue to a more attractive length, uncovering the tooth surface hiding beneath. This procedure is also referred to as a gingivectomy, or esthetic crown lengthening procedure, and can be performed to enhance the contour of a single tooth or trim the gum tissue for multiple teeth. A gum lift can create a beautiful smile while improving the health of your teeth and gums. Learn More >

After a tooth is lost or extracted, the gum tissue covering the space can sag, creating an indentation. This is a result of bone deterioration and can detract from the appearance of a replacement tooth, causing the gum tissue surrounding it to seem recessed. The purpose of this procedure is to “build up” the gum tissue, allowing the restorative dentist to create tooth replacements that emerge naturally from the gum tissue with normal cosmetic proportions.
