Makeover Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry
At Midtown Dentistry, our dentists are highly trained experts and some of the best in the Houston area when it comes to cosmetic dentistry.
After learning exactly what you are looking for in terms of cosmetic dentistry, our dentists will begin the treatment planning stage of your perfect smile.
During this stage our dentists will analyze photographs that have been taken from all angles. They will also take X-rays to ensure optimal dental health.
Mock-ups of an ideal smile are created based on the models of your mouth. To get an idea of how beautiful your new smile will be, temporary dental restorations may be placed so you can see the results before your smile permanently becomes yours.
Most smile makeovers consist of one or more of the following cosmetic dentistry procedures:
Fixing Excessive or Uneven Gums
Many people have excessive or uneven gums, this “Gummy smile” is unflattering.
An aesthetic surgical procedure called a gum lift can be used to correct this problem.
For a simple gum lift, your Midtown Dentistry dentist will use a laser to eliminate the gummy smile by sculpting away the excess tissue. When using the laser for surgery there is no bleeding, no swelling, no sutures and little pain. Your smile can change in just a few minutes.
When a more advanced and larger gum lift is involved, our Periodontist (Gum specialist) will use a guide we make to add and remove gum tissue to create great looking gums.
