What Is Oral Plastic Surgery?
Oral plastic surgery enhances the overall look and feel of your smile. These treatments can restore lost gum and bone tissue around tooth roots, reshape unsightly gum tissue, regenerate lost bone due to trauma or periodontal diseases, and cosmetically enhance a site in preparation for dental implant placement.
At Life Oral Health, oral plastic surgery is performed with a biologically focused approach that considers both function and esthetics. The goal is not simply to improve how your smile looks, but to support long-term periodontal stability, comfort, and oral health.

Life Oral Health provides the following oral plastic surgery procedures designed to improve gum health, smile balance, and treatment outcomes.
Gingivectomy
Remove excess or overgrown gum tissue for better esthetics and hygiene access.

Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for oral plastic surgery if you have gum recession, exposed tooth roots, uneven gumlines, excess gum tissue, thin gum tissue, or tissue concerns affecting dental implant planning. These procedures may also be recommended when gum or bone tissue has been affected by periodontal disease, trauma, aging, or previous dental treatment.
A personalized evaluation helps determine which procedure is appropriate for your needs. Dr. Deborah K. Ruprecht will assess your gum health, bone support, esthetic goals, and long-term treatment plan before recommending care.
