Enhance Your Smile With Aesthetic Treatments
Orthodontics isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s also about creating a balanced, beautiful smile. Our esthetic treatments help refine the shape of your gums, restore function, and prepare your mouth for future dental work.
Gingival Recontouring
Your gum line plays a key role in the appearance of your smile. Gingival recontouring, also known as gum reshaping, removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural teeth.
This procedure helps balance uneven gum lines, reducing the look of a "gummy" smile and enhancing overall symmetry. Using precise laser technology, we sculpt the gum line for a more proportional and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Mouth Restoration & Rehab
For patients with significant dental wear, injury, or bite misalignment, mouth restoration can help rebuild function and aesthetics. This process may involve orthodontic treatment, restorative dentistry, and customized rehabilitation to ensure a comfortable and stable bite.
By addressing issues such as tooth grinding, jaw strain, or excessive enamel loss, we can create a healthier, more confident smile.
Pre-Prosthetic Orthodontics
Before receiving crowns, bridges, or dental implants, some patients may require pre-prosthetic orthodontic treatment. This process helps position teeth properly to support long-term restorative work, ensuring a strong foundation.
By optimizing tooth alignment and spacing, we help general dentists and prosthodontists achieve the best possible functional and cosmetic results for your smile.
Relieve Jaw Pain & Restore Comfort
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Our specialized TMD treatments and surgical options help restore balance and relieve discomfort, allowing for improved function and long-term relief.
TMD Treatments
TMD can cause chronic discomfort, jaw stiffness, and even radiating pain in the head and neck. Our approach to TMD treatment focuses on non-invasive solutions first, such as customized bite splints, physical therapy, and stress reduction techniques.
For more advanced cases, we offer targeted orthodontic solutions to alleviate pressure on the jaw joint, helping to improve alignment and reduce strain over time.
Jaw Surgery
For patients with severe jaw misalignment, orthognathic surgery may be necessary to correct structural concerns. This procedure helps align the upper and lower jaws for improved function, bite stability, and facial symmetry.
Our orthodontists work closely with oral surgeons to guide treatment, ensuring that braces or aligners are used to prepare the teeth for surgery and finalize results post-procedure.
