Veneers
Asymmetric gumline can affect your smile and prevent you from smiling and speaking with confidence. It can also be a major obstacle in getting a good esthetic outcome for patients getting veneers.
Crowns
If your teeth look short, or if you have a “gummy” smile, you can dramatically improve your smile in as little as an hour through a procedure called esthetic crown lengthening, known as a â€œgum liftâ€ . Crown lengthening involves reshaping excess gum and bone tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth. Depending on your preferences, the lengthening procedure can be used for a single tooth or a series of teeth.
Bridges
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are gently placed within the jaw, in order to provide a foundation for fixating teeth, or stabilizing a full or partial denture (plate). A well trained implant surgeon can often place an implant in as little as 15 minutes with little to no pain. Implant teeth look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Patients that have implants to replace their missing teeth, regain the ability to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence. Teeth replaced with dental implants typically have a better long term prognosis than teeth replaced by dental bridges, partials or dentures.

Root Canal Treatment

Periodontal Surgery
Crown Lengthening Procedures are a subtype of periodontal surgery that are utilized for Treatment of Gummy Smiles and Short teeth. Lip Repositioning Surgery is another form of periodontal plastic surgery that can help certain cases of Gummy Smiles.

Dentures
For the replacement of missing teeth, dental implants are emerging as the preferred method. Traditional procedures, like bridge work, require grinding away healthy tooth structure in order to fit the bridge. Implants, by contrast, eliminate the need for grinding or less permanent solutions, like dentures. The overall benefit of dental implants is the confidence to eat and smile naturally that comes with the solid permanence of the implant.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Jaw Surgery
In rare cases where the gummy smile is related to problems with jaw relations, jaw surgery may be needed to address the problem comprehensively. Each patient is evaluated comprehensively to determine the reason for their problem and based on that the appropriate treatment approach is selected.
Gum Surgery
Gum surgery is a procedure that allows your periodontist to treat your periodontal disease, or correct the damage caused by it. The process is relatively quick and easy, and is not associated with too much pain or discomfort.
Tooth Extractions
Bone loss occurs following tooth extraction. Often, this bone loss leads to functional and esthetic problems that require extensive and complicated procedures to correct. Socket preservation can be performed to prevent this loss from occurring. By placing a bone graft into a fresh extraction socket, and securing the graft with a collagen membrane, bone loss can be minimized, ridge form is better maintained and implants can then be easily placed. This procedure is quick and easy and relatively inexpensive in comparison to ridge modification procedures that are often necessary when site preservation is not performed.
Ridge Augmentation
Bone Grafting
One of the primary advantages of All-on-4 dental implants is that they can be placed in areas with limited bone volume. In traditional implant procedures, patients with insufficient bone density may require bone grafting or sinus lifts to build up the bone structure before implants can be placed. With All-on-4, the unique placement of the implants maximizes the use of available bone, eliminating the need for additional surgical procedures in many cases.

Orthodontics
Periodontics and orthodontics are two closely related fields of dentistry that often intersect in the treatment of patients. Periodontics focuses on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, while orthodontics focuses on the alignment and position of the teeth and jaws. Despite their distinct areas of focus, these two specialties are interconnected in several ways...
Braces
Orthodontic Appliances and Gum Health: Orthodontic appliances, such as braces or aligners, can make it challenging to maintain good oral hygiene. Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment need to be extra diligent about brushing and flossing to prevent gum disease and other oral health issues.

Cosmetic Dentistry
Periodontal plastic surgery is performed to lay the groundwork for restorative and cosmetic dentistry including crowns, bridges and veneers, in order to improve the look of the gum line.
