Cosmetic Gum Surgery
​
Cosmetic Gum Surgery is a treatment that helps reshape the gums to create a more balanced and attractive smile. Some people feel their gums are too high, too low, or uneven across their teeth. This procedure gently adjusts the gumline to improve appearance and boost confidence. At Downey Dental Solutions, the goal is to make the process simple, comfortable, and easy to understand for every patient.
Dr. Kambiz Khalilinejad DMD has 25 years of experience helping patients improve their gumline safely and effectively. Our dental office located in Downey CA provides care in a calm, friendly environment where everything is explained step by step.

Why Cosmetic Gum Surgery May Help You
​
Some patients have a “gummy smile,” where too much gum shows when they smile. Others have gums that sit too high due to recession, making teeth look longer. Cosmetic Gum Surgery can gently correct these issues, creating a more even and natural look.
Many patients combine this treatment with other cosmetic options. If you want a full smile makeover, you may also explore Smile Design for a more complete transformation. Those who feel nervous or anxious during dental procedures can learn about comfort options on our Sedation in Dentistry page.
