Florida Dental Implants

Our doctors have vast experience in the placement of dental implants. They have lectured nationally and internationally on implants, taught and mentored other doctors, and published numerous articles on dental implants.
Dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacement option available to our patients. Done correctly, they are highly esthetic and will look and feel like your own teeth. Equally important, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that maintains the jaw bone that is so critical for facial esthetics

Smile Lift Procedure

Esthetic crown lengthening, also known as gum recontouring or a “gum lift”, can instantly provide a new beautiful smile by exposing hidden tooth structure buried under excessive gum tissue. This allows patients to show off their new smile within minutes of the procedure. The doctors at the Florida Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants have a long and successful history of treating esthetically challenged smiles with esthetic crown lengthening.
Beautiful smiles are the result of several inter-related elements: the teeth, the gums and the lips. There are two instances in which gum recontouring is necessary. First, teeth may appear short and square, often resulting from tooth structure being hidden beneath the gums. This may be accompanied by a high smile line, resulting in the appearance of a ‘Gummy Smile’. In these instances, doctors at the Florida Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants reshape the gums and supporting tissues. This exposes the unseen portion of your natural teeth, instantly creating a vibrant and healthy looking smile.
In the second instance, patients may want to alter the appearance of their teeth due to wear, poor shape, disproportionate size, or unattractive color. Under these circumstances, gum recontouring provides the restoring doctor with the proper frame onto which new restorations such as veneers and crowns can be placed.
Typically patients experience only mild discomfort and simply require over-the-counter analgesics following this treatment. Providing a balanced and properly designed stage allows teeth to shine beautifully. Esthetic crown lengthening provides some of the most striking and immediate results to our patients.
