Laser Gum Recontouring
The way your gums look affect the overall appearance of your smile. Healthy, pink gums are appealing, but some people are unhappy with the amount of gum tissue around their teeth. In these cases, the teeth can appear short and square, and a gummy smile may mean the teeth are overshadowed.
Using a soft-tissue laser, our dentist can precisely target areas of your gum tissue for removal. Because of the focused beams of the laser, only the gum tissue our dentist wants to remove is actually removed, and the surrounding tissue is not damaged.
We create a symmetrical, appealing gum-line using our soft-tissue laser. The laser dentistry procedure is painless and the laser prevents your gums from bleeding.
Laser Treatment for Gum Disease
Lasers can treat gum disease by eliminating bacteria from beneath your gums. Healthy gums hug the contours of your teeth and protect your tooth roots from bacteria. Poor oral hygiene, especially irregular flossing, allows bacteria to make their way below your gumline. As infection progresses, your gums pull away from your teeth and form pockets. Our dentist may use laser dentistry treatment to kill the bacteria on your tooth roots and gums.
Why Choose a Laser Dentist?
There are several benefits to choosing a laser dentist, including:
- Eliminates bleeding
- Suture free
- Painless
- Precise, non-invasive removal of tissue
- Sterilizes area by killing bacteria
Our practice is committed to incorporating only the technology and equipment of the greatest benefit to our patients. During your routine cleaning and exam, we can tell you whether laser dentistry can be used for your oral health.
A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth as a result of injury, periodontal disease, or any other reason. A dental implant is a metal post that a periodontist or oral surgeon surgically positions into the jaw. Once in place and bone surrounding the implant has had time to heal, a replacement tooth is attached to the post. While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits to other cosmetic dentistry treatments. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework since they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.
To receive Reno dental implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
A crown is like a cap that fits over your tooth. Before placing a crown, our dentist removes a little bit of the enamel of your tooth so the dental crown will fit and can be bonded to your tooth.
At DiGrazia Dentistry, we offer crowns fabricated from tooth-colored porcelain material. Our natural-looking ceramic crowns are precisely matched to the color of your teeth and made on-site at our dental practice, which means you can have your tooth prepared and your permanent crown placed in the same day. You won’t have to wear a temporary crown or wait for your permanent crown to be created.
Your permanent restoration will be created in just minutes using the CEREC machine. This machine lets us see a 3D image of what your crown will look like on the machine’s computer monitor. Then, inside the CEREC, your customized crown is created.
Porcelain veneers involve a cosmetic dentistry procedure in which a covering is placed over the outside (visible area) of the tooth. Veneers are usually only applied to the part of the tooth that is visible when talking or smiling. The procedure can be direct or indirect.
The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using bonding. This method is usually referred to as bonding.
The indirect technique usually involves two appointments because the veneers will be fabricated at a dental laboratory. At the first appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken, and the teeth are given a temporary covering. In two to three weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. The laboratory fabricated veneers are usually made using porcelain or pressed ceramic and are very aesthetic.
