My gums seem to cover too much of my teeth when I smile, is there any way to fix this? Gingivoplasty is a surgical procedure used to reshape gum tissue for functional or cosmetic purposes.

This can be fixed by gingivoplasty, by removing or reshaping the excess gum tissue. You’ll be given a local anesthesia before the procedure starts. This will numb your gums so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. You ca ..read more

Prestige Oral Surgery Blog
by Team
2M ago
When a tooth is extracted, the surrounding bone is lost making it tough to replace the tooth with a dental implant. This is a natural response called “bone resorption”. This is where bone grafting comes in. We add bone grafting materials to the weakened area, creating a sturdy foundation for the dental implant. For the dental implant to be successful, it requires a stable and substantial base to anchor securely into the jaw. Dental implants are a fantastic solution for replacing missing teeth, mimicking the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth. There are alternatives to dental implant ..read more

What To Expect From A Tooth Extraction Procedure

Before we extract the tooth, we will numb the area so you will be comfortable. Your mouth will be numb for a few hours after the extractions, so be careful not to bite your cheek, lip, or tongue. The extraction itself should not take more than 5-10 minutes. After the extraction, you may have some bleeding. We will pack the extraction site with gauze to help stop the bleeding and so a blood clot can form which is necessary for normal healing. Your bone will heal through the formation of the blood clot. If the blood clot does not form and heavy bleeding continues, you should call us immediatel ..read more
