BEFORE AND AFTER ORTHO TREATMENT

CROWN LENGTHENING:

Crown lengthening procedure is to improve a "gummy" smile because your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but they're covered with too much gum tissue.

During the dental crown lengthening procedure, excess gum tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile.

GUM SURGERY:

Sometimes gum recession causes the tooth root to become exposed, which makes your teeth look long. This recession can happen as a result of a variety of causes, including periodontal diseases.

Gum graft surgery and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots, to reduce further gum recession and to protect roots from decay.

In excessive gingival recession cases, gum grafts are used to cover the roots or develop gum tissue.

LASER GUM DEPIGMENTATION:

Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a procedure used to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums caused by melanin.

FRENECTOMY:

A labial frenectomy is a form of frenectomy performed on the lip.

The labial frenum often attaches to the center of the upper lip and between the upper two front teeth. This can cause a large gap and gum recession by pulling the gums off the bone. A labial frenectomy removes the labial frenum  and help with closing a front tooth gap.
