Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning

Restorative

• Crowns
  Esthetic crown lengthening is the periodontal plastic surgical procedure of which the facial gingival tissue is either removed or repositioned more apically so that we can eliminate or reduce the appearance of the gummy smile. With careful diagnosis and treatment planing, we can achieve a very esthetic, proportional smile in any individual. Treatment technique is varied from the method of which the tissue is removed, i.e., laser, regular blade, electro-surgical unit, or in many case we just reposition the tissue more apically.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  Patient who wears conventional denture often will complaint about the difficulty in functioning, unstable and may fall and slip out of place during speech, poor chewing ability, palatal coverage, and most importantly continuous bone resorption which requires relining of denture and/or compromises the retention of the prosthesis.
• Overdentures
  One of the better option is the implant supported overdenture. It is a regular denture that can be removed and inserted by the patient. However, instead of the denture resting on the gum with all the support came from the soft tissue, the implant support overdenture usually is supported by a bar connecting four or more implants with the use of clip or retentive mechanism. The cast metal bar helps to stabilize the implant and provides a retentive mechanism (usually a clip) to hold the denture in place. Another design is the use of attachment(ERA) or better yet, the locator. This design usually is chosen in the case where interarch distance is inadequate for the cast metal bar design. The locator provides the denture retention through the male-female attachment. Ring of various tightness allows the patient to choose light, moderate, or tight retention. The implant gives the denture substantial increase in bite force, much more retention during function, relieve of full palatal coverage which help in speech, and finally, tremendous reduction of ridge resorption due to direct compressive pressure on the alveolar ridge.

Implants

• Dental Implants
  Implant is an exciting treatment alternative that allow us to treat an edentulous space or a missing tooth with an almost equivalent restoration in terms of function, strength, and esthetic. Implant treatment can be divided into 5 stages...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
• Maxillofacial Surgery
  First of all, we must determine the gummy smile is due to the teeth hypoerupt or because of the excessive vertical growth of the maxilla. The first case can be correct with esthetic crown lengthening, the second must be correct with either orthodontics and/or oral maxillofacial surgery of which the entire maxillary process must be repositioned. Oral habits must be ruled out because they contribute to the developmental or growth problems (for example, narrow arch, mouth breather, thumb sucking, etc…) of the dentofacial structures, especially in children. Identify these pathological causes will allow us to early intervene and prevent the problem worsen or recur in the future.
