We believe that tooth loss leads to bone loss; which compromises your smile, and often affects speech & function. Removable appliances do not preserve bone. They may actually speed up the process. This has a profound effect on the premature appearance of aging; or a youthful rejuvenating effect when bone is maintained or regenerated.

Recession of gum tissue is very common. It detracts from a person's smile & sometimes leads to tooth sensitivity. There are a few different solutions for this problem. One of the most aesthetic procedures, with little post operative pain, often linked to free gingival grafts, is the subepithelial connective tissue graft.

This young woman had amelogenesis imperfecta, a disorder in which there is faulty development of dental enamel. It is very thin & friable, and often has a brownish stain. Her upper teeth also appeared short. The solution for this young lady was gingival recontouring & veeners.
