Aesthetic Surgery or Gingivectomy
In some patients, gum tissue can cover the tooth surface, making the teeth appear small, short, and square. This is often referred to as a "Gummy Smile." In a gingivectomy, excessive gum tissue is removed, exposing the natural size of the tooth and achieving an aesthetically pleasing smile. In our office, this procedure is usually performed with a Biolase Laser, which causes minimal discomfort and reduces healing time.
Maxillary sinus elevation
The maxillary sinuses are air spaces located above the upper posterior molars. When these molars are lost, there is often not enough bone to place an implant without it entering the air space.
A maxillary sinus lift raises the floor of the maxillary sinus, allowing bone to be placed so that dental implants can later be installed.
Crown lengthening
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure in which gum tissue and bone are removed in order to lengthen the tooth structure, allowing the tooth to be restored.
Pharyngectomy
A frenectomy is simply the surgical removal of a frenum. A frenum is a band of tissue that can sometimes pull on the gum, causing gum recession or a gap between the front teeth. Using the Biolase Laser® corrects the frenectomy with a minimally invasive procedure.
Tissue Graft
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue is lost, exposing the roots of the teeth. A soft tissue graft procedure is generally performed by placing a small amount of tissue into the affected area to cover the exposed root, prevent root cavities, and give the teeth and smile an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Plasma Rich Growth Factors (PRGF)
The benefits of using Growth Factors:
Bone and tissue healing is faster and more effective:-
-
- Speeds up the interaction of implants with the bone
- Reduces post-operative inflammation and pain
- Reduces the risk of infections or postoperative complications
- Improves the health of the affected tissues
-
