In the second instance, patients may want to alter the appearance of their teeth due to wear, poor shape, disproportionate size, or unattractive color. Under these circumstances, gum recontouring provides the restoring doctor with the proper frame onto which new restorations such as veneers and crowns can be placed.Typically patients experience only mild discomfort and simply require over-the-counter analgesics following this treatment. Providing a balanced and properly designed stage allows teeth to shine beautifully. Esthetic crown lengthening provides some of the most striking and immediate results to our patients

Beautiful smiles are the result of several inter-related elements: the teeth, the gums and the lips. There are two instances in which gum recontouring is necessary. First, teeth may appear short and square, often resulting from tooth structure being hidden beneath the gums. This may be accompanied by a high smile line, resulting in the appearance of a ‘Gummy Smile’. In these instances, doctors at the Florida Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants reshape the gums and supporting tissues. This exposes the unseen portion of your natural teeth, instantly creating a vibrant and healthy looking smile

Esthetic crown lengthening, also known as gum recontouring or a “gum lift”, can instantly provide a new beautiful smile by exposing hidden tooth structure buried under excessive gum tissue. This allows patients to show off their new smile within minutes of the procedure. The doctors at the Florida Institute for Periodontics and Dental Implants have a long and successful history of treating esthetically challenged smiles with esthetic crown lengthening.

Periodontitis or periodontal disease is a bacterially induced progressive chronic gum infection that destroys bone and tissue that support teeth. It begins as a mild inflammation of the gums with little or no perceived symptoms. If left untreated, the disease will progress and bone destruction begins which can ultimately lead to tooth loss. According to the recent surveys by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults in the United States, affecting nearly 75% of adult Americans
Periodontal disease is usually painless and patients seldom experience obvious symptoms or discomfort. This is one of the reasons so many people have undiagnosed periodontitis. Periodontal disease usually begins as a mild inflammation (gingivitis) caused by plaque and toxin releasing bacteria. With time, plaque and bacteria will further accumulate, spread and grow below the gum line. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. The toxins stimulate a chronic inflammatory response in which the body in essence turns on itself and the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed (periodontitis). The most important factor of this disease is that periodontitis is PREVENTABLE and TREATABLE! -

Dental implants are titanium anchors used to permanently replace teeth that are missing, cannot, or should not be saved. Dental implants themselves serve as tooth root replacements to support caps, bridges, or dentures. Developed in the 1960’s, modern dental implants revolutionized dentistry and have become the standard of care for replacement of missing or soon to be missing teeth.Our doctors have vast experience in the placement of dental implants. They have lectured nationally and internationally on implants, taught and mentored other doctors, and published numerous articles on dental implants. - See more at: http://perio-implant.com/services-2/dental-implants/#sthash.5bkDEcDf.dpuf

Dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacement option available to our patients. Done correctly, they are highly esthetic and will look and feel like your own teeth. Equally important, dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that maintains the jaw bone that is so critical for facial esthetics. Following loss of a tooth, the jawbone will naturally resorb (atrophy) unless replaced by a dental implant. This is traditionally what happens under bridges and dentures, a process that can give denture patients a prematurely aged, “sunken-in” look.

Besides saving bone, dental implants also save teeth. Prior to implants, fixed (non-removable) bridge-work which was used to replace missing teeth required the shaving down of adjacent teeth to serve as anchors. Besides requiring the grinding-down of sound tooth structure, this would often result in the immediate or future need for root canal treatment of the anchor teeth. Capped and root canaled anchor teeth are more vulnerable to cavities and fractures. With implants, missing teeth can be replaced without touching adjacent teeth. The results are individual tooth restorations that are easier to clean. Implants help distribute biting forcesand therefore protect, not weaken, adjacent teeth.

Dental implants cannot get cavities nor will they require root canals, making them the ideal option for patients with a history of cavities or failed root canals. A properly placed, healed, and well-maintained dental implant will serve as a permanent (lifetime) tooth replacement.

Florida lanap

(Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a patented periodontal treatment which has obtained FDA approval for gum disease treatment in 2004. Currently, not many other periodontal clinics in the area with properly trained doctors to offer LANAP® procedure for their patients . Florida Institute for Periodontics & Dental Implants is proud to be able to make this treatment available to gum disease sufferers in South Florida.

There is no cutting and no suturing in LANAP® Proceudre, and much less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure, compared to standard periodontal surgery. The duration of the procedure is also shorter then traditional periodontal surgery. Generanlly LANAP® is more selective and less invasive then traditional surgery.

LANAP® procedure does not include the major loss of gum tissue which is almost always involved in traditional surgery. The gum loss can lead to increased teeth sensitivity caused by exposed roots and other periodontal problems.The laser used with LANAP® targets only damaged tissue, which has different light absorption than healthy tissue, without impacting healthy gum and bone.
