Gum Recession Treatment
When a patient’s gums begin receding, their teeth and gums can become more sensitive, they may be at a higher risk of developing cavities, and in severe cases, they may lose one or more teeth. With gum grafting, we can restore and cover exposed tooth roots, effectively reducing sensitivity and enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. Our experienced team will assess the severity of your gum recession and develop a personalized treatment plan to promote gum tissue regeneration and improve your oral health.
Gum Contouring and Crown Lengthening
Achieving a more symmetrical and balanced smile is possible with gum contouring and crown lengthening procedures. Our skilled professionals can utilize advanced techniques to carefully reshape your gum line and create a harmonious appearance. Whether you have excess gum tissue that needs to be removed or the tooth structure must be exposed, our practice can provide precise gum contouring and crown lengthening treatments tailored to your specific needs.
Surgically Assisted Orthodontics and Impacted Tooth Exposure
In cases where traditional braces cannot shift a specific tooth, we can effectively address impacted teeth by surgically exposing them and creating sufficient space for proper eruption. This procedure involves a meticulous surgical approach to access the impacted tooth and guide it into its correct position. By taking this approach, patients can avoid pain and damage to their other teeth, as well as more invasive treatment options like dental extractions.
Can sedation be used with these treatments?
While a local anesthetic is utilized to numb the teeth and gums during gum treatments, some patients prefer to add dental sedation to their treatment plans as well to feel more calm and relaxed in the dental chair. Our office provides nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, and we would be happy to review these choices with you to determine your ideal sedation option.
Which gum procedure is right for my smile?
It can be difficult for patients to determine if their gums need extra care and which treatment option is right for their unique situation. Patients with “gummy smiles” may want to pursue gum contouring and crown lengthening to reduce the focus on their gums when they smile and talk. If your primary dental care provider or orthodontist has referred you to our office for a gum grafting or surgical consultation, Dr. Bayati can assess your teeth and gums to design your treatment plan and get your following appointments scheduled.
