October 12, 2021

Before and after results by Dr. MakadiaEvery tooth is invaluable to a healthy, attractive smile. However, decay, disease, trauma, and genetics can cause aesthetic flaws. Cosmetic dentistry can create a picture-perfect smile. While a patient’s focus may be aesthetic concerns, Dr. Makadia places higher importance on dental health. Dr. Makadia will establish a healthy foundation to improve oral health and cosmetic imperfections using a personalized strategy for every case.

Treating Gum Issues with Laser Dentistry

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 50% of adults have gum disease, making it a leading cause of tooth loss. Although the earliest stage of the infection (gingivitis) can be resolved without causing any long-term damage, few people recognize the beginning signs of gum disease. If red, swollen, or bleeding gums aren’t treated quickly, the infection can destroy the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious oral health issues.

Innovative solutions in dentistry can save a mouth overcome by infection. Dr. Makadia combines his 30 years of experience with state-of-the-art treatments to treat dental problems to establish the groundwork necessary to enhance the overall appearance of his patients’ smiles.

Individualized Treatment Plans for Every Patient

Dr. Makadia understands no two smiles are identical, which is why he takes a unique approach when restoring gum health and correcting aesthetic imperfections. He helped one patient, Rodriguez Heber, achieve the professional image he desired to enhance his career.

After assessing his mouth, Dr. Makadia explained the patient’s gum condition, which needed to be resolved before moving forward with any elective procedures. Dr. Makadia used laser dentistry to target the infection to stabilize the gums.

The revolutionary procedure provides pinpoint accuracy using a minimally invasive method because scalpels and sutures aren’t necessary. The laser kills the infection while stimulating the regeneration of healthy gum tissue for a shorter recovery with fewer risks of complications, like pain, swelling, or bleeding.

Dr. Makadia focused on the patient’s cosmetic concerns after reinstating his gum health. After orthodontic treatment, extractions, cosmetic bonding, and tooth-colored fillings, Dr. Makadia exceeded the patient’s expectations. Mr. Heber was relieved he didn’t have to go through expensive dental implants, bridges, or crowns, and saved his natural teeth. He has the professional, confident smile he desired with the help of Dr. Makadia.
