Computerized Dental Anesthesia
targeted and precise comfort
Computerized Dental Anesthesia (STA) is an innovative technique that uses computer-controlled technology to deliver precise and comfortable local anesthesia during dental procedures. By accurately targeting the affected area, STA ensures pain relief without the numbness of the entire mouth, allowing patients to resume their normal activities more quickly.
crown lengthening
achieve a more even smile
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess gum tissue or bone to expose more of the tooth's structure. It is often performed to correct a "gummy smile" or to provide necessary space for the placement of dental crowns or restorations. By reshaping the gum line, crown lengthening enhances the aesthetic appearance of the smile while also facilitating proper oral hygiene practices.
ridge preservation
minimize bone loss in the jaw
Ridge preservation is a technique used after tooth extraction to minimize bone loss and preserve the natural shape and contours of the jaw ridge. Following the extraction, the surgeon fills the socket with bone grafting material to promote new bone formation and maintain the integrity of the jawbone. This procedure is essential for patients considering future dental implant placement, as it ensures sufficient bone volume for successful implant integration.
root canal therapy
restore the health of your teeth
Root canal therapy is a procedure performed to remove infected or damaged pulp tissue from the interior of a tooth. This is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks in the tooth. During the procedure, the dentist or endodontist cleans and disinfects the root canal system before sealing it, effectively saving the tooth from extraction and relieving pain caused by the infection.
Laser Gingival Contouring
enhance your teeth and smile
Laser gingival contouring, also known as gum reshaping or gum lift, is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the gums. It involves the use of dental lasers to remove excess gum tissue and reshape the gum line, creating a more symmetrical and balanced smile. Laser gingival contouring is commonly performed to treat a "gummy smile" or to enhance the esthetics of teeth that appear too short due to excessive gum display.
Simple and Surgical Tooth Extractions
relieve pain and restore health
Simple and surgical tooth extractions are procedures performed to remove a tooth from its socket. Simple extractions are carried out on teeth that are visible and can be easily accessed, while surgical extractions are required for teeth that are impacted, severely decayed, or broken off at the gumline. During the procedure, local anesthesia is applied, the tooth is carefully removed, and the site is then treated to ensure healing and minimize discomfort.
