Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the brightness of teeth and eliminate stains or discolouration. This treatment provides a more potent and customized approach compared to over-the-counter whitening products. The process involves the application of a
high-concentration gel that may be applied directly to the teeth and activated by a special light or laser, delivering noticeable results in a single session. Take-home kits consist of custom-fitted trays filled with professional-strength whitening gel, allowing patients to whiten their teeth at their convenience.
The advantage of professional teeth whitening lies in its efficacy, quicker results, and the ability to address various types of stains. Dental professionals ensure a safe and controlled environment, minimizing tooth sensitivity and providing longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter alternatives. The treatment is tailored to individual dental health and cosmetic goals, offering a brighter and rejuvenated smile.

Gummy smile reduction, also known as gingival recontouring or crown lengthening, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to address the aesthetic concerns associated with excessive display of the gums when smiling. This condition, known as a gummy smile, can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hyperactive lip muscles, or the natural development of the teeth and gums. The process begins with a comprehensive dental evaluation to determine the cause and extent of the gummy smile. A plan is developed to involve reshaping the gum tissue, adjusting the position of the teeth, or a combination of both to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Get to know “Gummy smile reduction”…
Gum Reshaping: The most common method for gummy smile reduction is gum reshaping or gingival recontouring. This involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface. The procedure is performed using a laser or traditional surgical techniques, depending on the individual case and the dentist's expertise.
Orthodontic Intervention: In some cases, gummy smiles may result from misaligned teeth or an improper bite. Orthodontic treatments, such Invisalign, may be recommended to reposition the teeth and improve the overall balance of the smile.
Muscle Relaxation: Hyperactive upper lip muscles can contribute to a gummy smile. Botox injections may be used to temporarily relax these muscles, reducing the upward movement of the lip and limiting excessive gum exposure.
Surgical Crown Lengthening: In cases where excess bone is contributing to the gummy smile, surgical crown lengthening may be performed. This involves removing a small amount of bone and reshaping the gum tissue to expose more of the tooth's crown.
