Cosmetic Dentistry
Modern dentistry is so much more than just filling teeth and flouride treatments. Today, millions of people turn to cosmetic dentistry as a way to improve their smile. This not only improves their appearance, but their self-confidence and image as well. Together, my staff and I have helped thousands in the Los Angeles area regain their smiles and self-esteem.
If you feel as though your smile lacks the kind of brightness, quality, and appeal that you really want, you may want to consider cosmetic dentistry. At Beverly Hills Periodontal Group, the treatments we offer can be used to straighten, lighten, reshape and repair teeth or gums.
Unlike corrective dentistry, which is done more for the well-being of teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry can provide an important psychological boost. For example, if you have maligned or discolored front teeth, you probably smile rarely or hold your hand in front of your teeth when you do so, in order to hide the problem.
Some of the procedures we offer for cosmetic dentistry in Beverly Hills, include:
Dental Implants
If you have a badly positioned tooth, chipped tooth, or an otherwise unattractive gap that you'd like to fill, you may want to consider dental implants. Many people have had their poor teeth extracted and replaced with a dental implant. Properly placed, dental implants will last a lifetime and feel and function just like your own teeth. Aside from beautifying your smile, there are no restrictions on the types of food you can eat so you may also enjoy a full range of missed foods.
Gum Grafts
While primarily used to combat periodontal gum disease, using gum grafts for cosmetic dentistry can help provide a healthier looking smile and gum line. Gum grafts can be done for one tooth or several teeth to even your gum line and improve the esthetics of your smile. The unique gum graft techniques perfected by Dr. Madison can correct most gum defects effectively, and comfortably.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a procedure that essentially makes a tooth appear longer. Ideally used to combat a gummy smile, it is also used when a tooth breaks, or if there is severe decay. Regardless of the reason, without crown lengthening, the remaining healthy tooth area is reduced and this can affect the potential for successful tooth restoration. With crown lengthening, more of the tooth’s surface is exposed to act as an anchor for future cosmetic work.
Receding Gum Treatments
Receding gums are not only unattractive, but also one of the warning signs of periodontal disease. People who have excess gum covering the front teeth are often self-conscious about their "gummy" smile or baby teeth looking smile. An uneven gum-line can also make the teeth appear to have different lengths, which takes away from the appearance of an attractive smile. We can help correct this through receding gum treatments.
Dental Cleaning
Professional and meticulous dental cleanings offer many health benefits in addition to restoring the natural beauty of your teeth.
