Personalized Gum Surgery at Copper Canyon Dentistry

Our team evaluates your gums, bone support, and smile line, then crafts a clear plan to cover exposed roots, reshape excess tissue, and improve long-term stability. Expect clear guidance, modern technology, and results that look natural in Santa Clarita, California.

What We Can Do for You

  • Gum Grafting Covers exposed roots to reduce sensitivity and protect teeth. Great for: recession from brushing, clenching, or periodontal disease
  • Cosmetic Gum Contouring Evens an uneven or “gummy” smile for better tooth proportions. Great for: short-looking teeth
  • Crown Lengthening Exposes more healthy tooth for veneers or crowns. Great for: restorative needs
  • Tissue Options Connective tissue, free gingival, or donor allograft—chosen for your comfort and durability.

How Treatment Works

Consult & digital imaging: we map recession and symmetry. Comfort-focused visit: local anesthetic (sedation available) and precise laser or microsurgical techniques. Healing: soft diet and a gentle rinse while tissue integrates. Smile refinement: we review results and plan any cosmetic finishing.

Technology We Use

  • Solea & soft-tissue lasers — minimal bleeding, quicker recovery
  • Cone Beam CT & panoramic imaging — surgical clarity and safety
  • Digital impressions & intraoral cameras — accurate planning and co-diagnosis
  • 3D printing — guides and models for predictable contours
  • Electric handpieces & ultrasonic scalers — precise, comfortable care

Am I a Candidate?

You may benefit if you notice root sensitivity, teeth that look longer, uneven gums, or if you’re preparing for veneers, crowns, or implants. We’ll review your health and design a plan that fits your timeline and budget—plus flexible options through Care Credit, Sunbit, Proceed Finance, Cherry, and Alphaeon Credit. Call (661) 775-8822 to schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Grafting & Gum Contouring

Will gum grafting or contouring hurt?
Treatment is completed with local anesthesia and gentle techniques. Most patients report pressure, not pain, and recover comfortably with simple home care.
How long is recovery?
Tenderness typically improves within a few days; soft foods are recommended for 3–7 days. Grafts mature over several weeks as they fully integrate.
What type of graft will I need?
We choose from connective tissue, free gingival, or donor allograft based on your anatomy, thickness needs, and comfort preferences.
Is laser contouring better than traditional surgery?
Lasers allow precise shaping with minimal bleeding and often no sutures, which can mean faster healing and less post-op sensitivity.
Will insurance cover this?
Medically necessary grafting is often partially covered; cosmetic contouring may not be. We’ll verify benefits and review costs before care.
Can recession come back?
Good brushing habits, a custom night guard if needed, and routine cleanings help protect results. We’ll tailor a prevention plan for you.
Can I combine this with cosmetic dentistry?
Yes. Contouring and grafting often enhance veneers, crowns, or whitening by creating balanced, healthy gumlines first.
