Esthetic Crown Lengthening and gingivectomy procedures help correct imbalances in tooth and gum proportions to achieve harmony and symmetry. They can be used after orthodontic treatment to create ideal gum margins and tooth ratios, or to achieve an esthetic result for anterior crowns. They can also be used to help balance a “gummy smile”. Soft tissue procedures are covered in more detail in the gum grafting section, but can also be employed with implants and other procedures to improve esthetic outcomes.

Dr. Brancheau is a member of the International Society of Periodontal Plastic Surgeons, a group dedicated to advancing research and techniques focused on oral plastic surgery and esthetics. A passion of his is minimally invasive surgery, as well as collaboration with other dentists, prosthodontists and orthodontists to achieve the best results.




What People Are Saying

I met Dr. Brancheau through my regular dentist who referred me. I had a bridge break and another tooth split. I was very hesitant to get implants because of how invasive I thought they were. Day of the surgery he was very careful to make sure I felt nothing and was comfortable for both the extraction and implant. Recovery was amazing! I had almost no swelling, no pain... the horror stories you may hear are only because they saw the wrong professional! A+++

Doctor Brancheau is taking care of my second round of tooth implants. Thus I have comparison experience. I appreciate his easy touch, the fact that he communicates every step of the procedure as we go along, and that his practice doesn't try to railroad patients into up-charges. His approach to implants is such that it minimizes patient discomfort and time of process. It's my impression that he can be trusted to recommend the exact dental care needed, that it will be correct and no more involved than necessary.

Dr. Brancheau showed excellent rapport working with me in developing a treatment plan, completing a bone graft, tooth extraction, and root planing. He showed incredible technique in his work and sincerely addressed my questions and concerns. Significantly improved my dental and overall health.
