Smile – Your Biggest Asset
We've all heard the old saying that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile, yet many people avoid smiling because they're embarrassed by their teeth. In fact, in a survey on the American Academy of Periodontology's website, 25% of the people said what bothered them the most about their smile was either their teeth looked too long or their smile was too gummy.
In spite of this concern for their smile, only a quarter of the people involved in the survey actually knew that their smile could easily be fixed by a periodontal procedure involving reshaping of the gum line. This procedure and many more can be done by a Long Island periodontist.
What is a Periodontist?
Periodontists specialize in their diagnosis, treatment as well as prevention of diseases that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. They also specialize in placement of dental implants, an option for replacement of lost teeth that's becoming more affordable and popular every year.
Another area of expertise with periodontists is the treatment of oral inflammation. In addition to attending dental school, periodontists receive specialized training for an additional three years. In Suffolk County, patients seeking expert dental care can see Long Island periodontist Dr. David R. Scharf.
Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures
Cosmetic periodontal procedures are being done more than ever before for many problems causing people to have a closed mouth smile. Crown lengthening is a procedure where the excess gum and bone is recontoured so that there is more tooth showing as opposed to a lot of gummy area. Once this procedure is done, the patient is often so happy, they request tooth whitening, another excellent enhancement for your smile. Although crown lengthening is usually done for a function purpose such as for crown preparation, it's also an excellent choice for esthetic reasons.
Periodontal procedures make a dramatic difference in the patient's smile and, therefore, their entire feeling of self confidence. Often problems that have plagued individuals for years and made them self-conscious can be easily remedied by crown lengthening or some other simple form of gum reconstruction that Long Island periodontist Dr. Scharf is very familiar with, having helped many patients with similar problems.
The result is a happy patient and bright smile! Crown lengthening is just one of the many periodontal procedures that can be done to help improve your smile and teeth. If you're looking for a Long Island Periodontist, contact Dr. Scharf at (631) 661-6633 or visit him on the web at http://drscharf.com. Dr. Scharf will treat your disease with a laser rather than a scalpel.
An alternative to a Chicago Periodontist is Dr. Michael Marcus. He uses a lser to treat gum disease. Dr. Barney Lim is a Bay Area Periodontist who treats gum disease with a a laser as well.
