What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of teeth and smiles. Smiles are one of the first things we notice about a person so providing ways to make people more comfortable with their smiles so we see them smile more is important to us!
Cosmetic dentistry is not just veneers and teeth whitening. A periodontist can do so much more to help you get the smile you want. In addition to bonding, tooth-colored restorations and fillings, porcelain veneers, and dental implants we also are able to reduce gum size or provide more gum coverage with soft tissue grafts.
We offer LASER gum therapy to help correct a variety of periodontal and aaesthetic problems. This is a non-invasive procedure that has helped many patients achieve the smile they want.
Another approach we take to correct extreme excess gum or tissue is crown lengthening or shortening. In this procedure more of the tooth is exposed by reshaping the gum line around the crown of the tooth.
Another way to improve smiles is through tooth reshaping and contouring which is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth. Through these procedures chipped or crooked teeth can be corrected. Bonding can be combined with tooth reshaping to give teeth a smooth and brighter appearance.
