GUM PROBLEMS
Cosmetic dentistry isn't just about teeth. Healthy gums are an important part of a beautiful smile. At Dr. Villadiego's Los Angeles cosmetic dentist office, we can diagnose and care for problem gums.
Types of Gum Issues
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gum that is caused by plaque. It can leave your gum line looking red and unattractive. At more severe stages, your gums pull away from your teeth. Our dental hygiene services and gum care procedures at our convenient Chatsworth, Los Angeles location can restore your gum line and provide a solid foundation for your new smile
Not all gum issues are caused by periodontal disease. Your gum line may just be what you happened to be born with. Excess gum tissue may give your mouth the appearance of too-small teeth or give your smile an uneven look. Dr. Bernie can bring out the best in your smile with a simple gum enhancement procedure.
Gum Enhancement
Your smile is about your teeth and your gums. If you notice that your smile looks “gummy” with too much gum tissue showing, Dr. Bernie can reshape your gums at his dentist office in Los Angeles. An electrosurge unit or laser is used to recontour and remove excess gum tissue for a more attractive smile. Your gum line will look more natural. The gum recontouring process is fast and precise and there is no need for stitches.
Laser treatments can be used along with porcelain veneers to put the finishing touches on your smile redesign. A fuller, more balanced smile is waiting for you at our Los Angeles dentist office. Contact us for a consultation.
