Aesthetic and Functional Crown Lengthening

Periodontal plastic surgery procedures can address a variety of conditions, including uneven gum lines and short-looking teeth. Aesthetic crown lengthening is a simple surgical procedure that adjusts the position of the gum and alveolar bone around the tooth to achieve gum harmony and a smile aesthetic with the right proportions. It helps you regain a beautiful smile and lets you eat and speak with comfort and confidence.

Functional crown lengthening

Functional crown lengthening is available to prepare a tooth for restorative dentistry in cases where the tooth structure is inadequate and insufficient for attaching a crown — for example when the tooth has fractured or has cavities below the gum line. The procedure involves reshaping the hard and soft tissues around the teeth to expose more tooth structure.

Gum recontouring

This procedure improves a “gummy smile,” which appears because the teeth look too short. Often the teeth are the correct length but are covered with too much gum tissue. The excess is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth — on a single tooth, to even out the gum line, or on several, for a natural, broad smile. When indicated, a laser can be used, which eliminates the need for sutures.

The Dental Implant

The modern, permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Here is what an implant is, whether it is safe, and how the whole process works.

Tooth Extractions

From wisdom teeth to impacted teeth — expertise in dento-alveolar surgery for both simple and complex extractions.

The Biopsy

A simple procedure under local anesthesia, in which a small piece of tissue is examined under the microscope to reach a clear diagnosis.

Gum Recession

Teeth looking longer or becoming sensitive? It may be gum recession. Soft-tissue grafting can restore the gum and protect exposed roots.

Piezoelectric Surgery

A non-traumatic way to cut bone with ultrasound: more precise, safer, and with faster healing than conventional methods.

Digital Dentistry

Digital scanning and real-time fabrication replace physical impressions: faster, more precise, and more comfortable for the patient.

Laser Dentistry

Advanced care for periodontal and soft-tissue health: a gentler, more precise approach with faster recovery.
