Esthetic Gum Recontouring
Shaping and or removal of excess gum tissue through Dental Laser or Sculpting. The procedure requires no sutures or incisions and gently re-sculpts gum tissue to the desired effect. The gum tissue usually heals within 5 -10 days depending on the individual. Patients exhibiting a "gummy smile" are perfect candidates for this procedure.
Esthetic Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening consists of the contouring of the gum tissue and bone around each individual tooth. This surgical procedure is done when simple laser contouring is NOT enough to achieve the desired effect. The newly repositioned gums are allowed to heal for 5 - 7 weeks before any final restoration can be placed. Following a crown lengthening procedure, further treatment with either Porcelain Veneers or Porcelain Crowns are often required to achieve a beautiful new dazzling smile!
Laser Gum Pigment Removal
You don’t have to live with brown gums any longer. With our state-of-the-art Dental Laser, we are able to offer our patients a safe and effective treatment for altering melanin pigmentation in the gum tissue, producing the desired look of pink gums. The laser technique de-pigments the gums in one office visit. The procedure is considered permanent in most but not all patients. Some minor touch up appointments may be necessary in some cases.
Gummy Smile Correction
When you smile, do you feel the appearance of your upper teeth is overshadowed by excessive gum tissue? Are you of the opinion that your upper teeth appear too short compared to the amount of gum tissue displayed in your smile? If your answer is "yes" to either of these questions, you may have a condition that is commonly called a "gummy smile" or excessive gingival display.
A "crown lengthening" procedure was selected to correct the appearance of a gummy smile. During this procedure excess gum tissue was removed in order to expose more of the tooth surface. Eight Porcelain Veneers were then placed to achieve a more pleasant looking smile, enhancing facial beauty. Joan felt like a brand new woman, because now when she smiles, she sees more of her teeth and less of her gums.
