Cosmetic dental surgery in Chicago has never been easier or more comfortable, thanks to modern techniques

Big Smile Dental understands how the word “surgery” can inspire anxiety. Modern surgical techniques and technologies allow many dental procedures to be completed comfortably, minimally-invasively, and with little to nothing to heal from in the days after treatment.

The dental team’s many options to improve the look of your smile include a “gum lift.” Also known as gingival sculpting or contouring, this procedure can correct a “gummy” smile. When too much tissue covers the tooth, it can make your teeth and smile look out-of-proportion.

This minor in-office procedure can usually be completed in a single visit. After applying local anesthetic for comfort, very tiny incisions will be made to remove excess tissue. Sometimes, all it takes to reveal more of your tooth and less of your gums is removal of a thin sliver of tissue. In other cases, bone may be removed from the exposed roots. The treated area will be cleansed and incisions closed.

Procedures for your every need

Other cosmetic procedures may be recommended for patients whose gums appear more prominent due to wear and tear. Extreme wear can also cause teeth to shift. Cosmetic braces or barely-visible aligner trays like Invisalign can reposition your teeth. Porcelain veneers can be used to close gaps and for cosmetic misalignment. The structure of the tooth can be restored with crowns.

Your needs for treatment may go beyond excess gum tissue, chips, and gaps. Don’t live with the discomfort of decayed teeth or the embarrassment of missing teeth. The process of getting dental implants is far more straightforward and comfortable than you may think.

The implant is placed during a simple procedure. Designed to be your new tooth root, the biocompatible titanium implant will fuse with the surrounding bone. Since the implant is now connected to underlying bone, you get a solid foundation for the new crown. Previous tooth replacement options were not designed to replace tooth roots. With replacement options like implant-supported crowns you get unparalleled appearance, feel, and function.

You can benefit from these and other cosmetic dental surgery options in Chicago on their own or as part of a bigger “smile makeover.” Schedule a consultation at Big Smile Dental by calling 773-772-8400.
