4 Ways To Fix My Smile

An ideal healthy mouth includes enough gum tissue and strong bones to hold your implants in place or your teeth in place, but there is no reason to give up on your new smile if you do not have the ideal conditions. “Gum tissue, bone augmentation and other options are available,” says Dr. Denine Rice, “if you want to improve the cosmetic look of your smile.”

1. If you have early stage periodontal disease, you can begin a structured flossing and brushing routine that will help strengthen your gums and decrease bone loss. There are also certain mouthwashes that help decrease bacteria and bleeding if used regularly. Early stage periodontal disease should not impact your overall opportunity to restore your smile.
2. More advanced periodontal disease that has negatively impacted the gums can now be treated with laser surgery. Lasers can be used to help restore your gums, natural health and to decrease the effects of receding gum lines. Lasers can clean out and destroy bacteria and improve the color of your gum tissue.

3.     Over time, periodontal disease and bone loss can cause your gums to recede. If you find yourself in this situation, there are options for you as well. Gum graft surgery allows Periodontist, Dr. Denine Rice to take skin from the roof of your mouth and place it in the impacted areas. The new tissue will then graft to your old tissue and provide the winning smile you have been waiting for.

4.     If your smile is too gummy for your liking, lasers can easily reshape he gum tissue to highlight your smile.
