Cosmetic Dentistry
A winning smile can take you places. Great teeth can give you more confidence, make you seem healthier and happier, and even give the impression to others that you are more trustworthy and friendly. For these reasons, cosmetic dentistry provides a valuable service. These are some of the cosmetic services a Langhorne periodontist can provide to take your smile to the next level.
Gum Grafting
Due to various circumstances, it is possible your mouth’s gum tissue will begin to recede. This not only results in an altered appearance for your smile, but it can also lead to various health problems. Our periodontists in Langhorne can provide you with gum grafting to restore the tissue to its proper place, but you need to take action as soon as you can.
Gingivectomy
Gummy smile correction often involves a gingivectomy procedure. After undergoing orthodontics, children and adults, may have “short looking” teeth. Sometimes, it is a natural anatomic variation where an individual will show a lot of gum tissue when smiling. This could present an aesthetic concern. A gingivectomy may need to be performed to improve the aesthetics of your smile.
Bite Adjustments
Some people will develop misaligned teeth. This could be due to their genetics, parafunctional habits, or as a result of prolonged, untreated periodontal disease. . You might feel your teeth slowly move out of alignment when chewing or just passively closing your mouth. However, if your teeth have always been poorly aligned (in malocclusion) then it is possible you may not even realize that a problem is occurring until excessive damage has already happened. A bite adjustment completed by our periodontist in Langhorne may help with stabilizing your moving teeth.
Tooth Splinting
Do you remember the sensation of having loose teeth when you were a child? If you experience something similar as an adult, you need to consult with a periodontist in Langhorne immediately. Periodontal stabilization of loose or moving teeth is possible, but you need to act fast before the problem becomes too severe.
Teeth Fabrication
Temporary teeth are often fabricated after certain surgical procedures like crown lengthening, implant placement, or extractions. They can be attached to natural teeth or implants by bonding or dental cement. Temporary teeth can also be retained by screws when implants alone are used to support prosthetic teeth. When multiple teeth are missing and no natural teeth or implants are available for cementation or screw retention, temporary teeth can also be fabricated as a partial (flipper) or a complete denture.
