At Art Dent, we offer advanced procedures such as crown lengthening and gum contouring to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your gummy smile.

These treatments are designed to address issues related to excessive gum tissue or uneven gum line, providing you with a more balanced and attractive smile.

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue and, in some cases, bone to expose more of the tooth’s surface.

This can be necessary for several reasons, including:

Preparing a tooth for restorative procedures such as crowns or bridges when there isn’t enough tooth structure exposed.

Correcting a “gummy smile” where excess gum tissue covers a significant portion of the teeth, making them appear shorter than they actually are.

Reshaping the gum line for cosmetic purposes to create a more proportionate and symmetrical smile.

Gum contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gingival sculpting, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping the gum line to improve the appearance of your smile.
This procedure is commonly performed to address:
Uneven gum line: Gum contouring can be used to trim away excess gum tissue or build up gum tissue to create a more symmetrical and balanced gum line.
Excessive gum tissue: Some individuals may have a condition known as “gingival hyperplasia,” where the gum tissue overgrows and covers a significant portion of the teeth. Gum contouring can remove excess tissue to reveal more of the tooth’s surface.
Crown lengthening: In cases where there is insufficient tooth structure exposed, gum contouring can be part of the crown lengthening process to create a more proportionate appearance.

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: By reshaping the gum line and exposing more of the tooth’s surface, crown lengthening and gum contouring can significantly improve the appearance of your smile.

Improved Oral Health: These procedures can also contribute to better oral hygiene by reducing areas where plaque and bacteria can accumulate, thus lowering the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Customized Treatment Plans: Our experienced dental team will assess your unique needs and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve the results you desire.

Gum bleaching, also known as gum depigmentation, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of dark or pigmented gums.
Dark gums, often caused by excess melanin production, can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals. Gum bleaching offers a solution by reducing the appearance of gum pigmentation and creating a more uniform and pleasing gum color.

Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dental team will assess the condition of your gums and discuss your goals for treatment. We’ll also review your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for gum bleaching.

Treatment Planning: Based on your individual needs and preferences, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan tailored to achieve your desired results. Our goal is to provide you with natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing gum coloration.

Bleaching Procedure: The gum bleaching procedure typically involves the application of a specialized bleaching agent to the gum tissue. This agent helps break down excess melanin pigments, lightening the color of the gums. The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed with precision to ensure optimal results.

Recovery and Follow-Up: Following the gum bleaching procedure, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and proper oral hygiene practices. Our team will provide you with detailed post-treatment instructions to promote healing and optimize your results. We’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your satisfaction with the outcome.

Enhanced Smile Aesthetics: Gum bleaching can significantly improve the overall appearance of your smile by creating a more uniform and attractive gum line.
Healthy Color & Boosted Confidence: Achieving brighter, healthier-looking gums can boost your confidence and self-esteem, allowing you to smile with renewed confidence.
Safe and Effective: Our gum bleaching treatments are performed by experienced dental professionals using our most advanced laser techniques and high-quality materials, ensuring safe and reliable results.

At Art Dent, we prioritize the health and well-being of our periodontal patients by offering advanced bacterial disinfection treatments to effectively manage gum disease and promote oral health. Our comprehensive approach combines professional dental cleanings, targeted antimicrobial therapies, and patient education to control bacterial growth and maintain healthy gums.

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum inflammation, gum recession, tooth loss, and systemic health problems. Bacterial disinfection plays a crucial role in managing periodontal disease by eliminating harmful bacteria and preventing disease progression.

Improved Periodontal Health: Bacterial disinfection treatments effectively reduce bacterial load in the mouth, leading to improved periodontal health and reduced risk of disease progression.

Prevention of Complications: By controlling bacterial growth, we can help prevent complications associated with untreated periodontal disease, such as tooth loss, bone loss, and systemic health issues.

Enhanced Overall Well-being: Maintaining healthy gums contributes to overall health and well-being, as research has shown a link between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

Professional Dental Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings performed by our skilled dental hygienists are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup, which harbor harmful bacteria. These cleanings help prevent the development and progression of periodontal disease.
Scaling and Root Planing: For patients with more advanced gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to discourage bacterial growth.
Antimicrobial Therapy: In addition to traditional periodontal treatments, we may incorporate antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics or antiseptic mouth rinses our advanced laser protocols to target and eliminate bacteria in periodontal pockets, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Patient Education: We believe that patient education is key to successful periodontal treatment. Our dental team will provide you with personalized oral hygiene instructions, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle modifications to help you maintain optimal oral health and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.

At Art Dent, we understand the discomfort and challenges associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and occlusal dysfunction. That’s why we offer advanced laser treatments to alleviate symptoms and restore proper function to your jaw joint and bite. Our goal is to provide you with relief from TMJ-related pain and discomfort while promoting optimal jaw function and oral health.

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) encompasses a range of conditions that affect the TMJ, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. TMD can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, facial discomfort, clicking or popping noises in the jaw joint, difficulty chewing, and headaches. Occlusal dysfunction refers to problems with the alignment of your teeth and how they come together when you bite.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT, also known as cold laser therapy, uses low-intensity laser light to reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. It can help alleviate TMJ pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve jaw function.

Trigger Point Therapy: Laser therapy can be combined with trigger point therapy to target specific areas of muscle tension or trigger points in the jaw muscles, providing relief from TMJ-related pain and stiffness.

Non-Invasive: Laser treatments for TMJ pain and occlusal dysfunction are non-invasive, meaning they typically involve minimal discomfort and downtime.

Precision: Laser technology allows for precise targeting of affected areas, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and promoting optimal healing.

Effective Relief: Laser therapy has been shown to effectively reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve jaw function in patients with TMJ disorders and occlusal dysfunction.

Customized Care: Our dental team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and symptoms, ensuring you receive the most effective and comprehensive care possible.
