As a man considering cosmetic gum surgery, you're likely concerned about the appearance and possibly health of your mouth, both of which are viable reasons to go ahead with the procedure. Cosmetic dental work is so common that men don't even have to pause to consider the social stigma of being a man who has "had work done."
Appearance Improvement
Cosmetic gum surgery can correct both receding and excessive gums, which can make teeth look irregular and either too long or too short. Genetics may be to blame for either problem or a person may have receding gums due to age, gum disease, an abscess or tooth infection. In either case, gum surgery will even out the appearance of the gum line, covering up roots or stripping away from the surface of teeth as necessary. This will make the patient's smile appear more even and regular.
Health Improvement
If a person has receding gums, the roots of the teeth are exposed. This makes a person much more sensitive to food temperature, and either hot or cold food and drink can cause pain. It also increases the risk of developing tooth and gum infections and disease.
Unlike other cosmetic surgeries, the results of cosmetic gum surgery are both attractive and subtle enough that people may never know it was done.
