Gum Bleaching
Gum bleaching permanently lightens dark or discolored gums using a patented chemical process. This minimally invasive treatment removes melanin deposits, creating uniform pink gum tissue. Ideal for patients with genetic pigmentation or medication-induced darkening, the procedure takes under an hour with immediate visible results that enhance overall smile aesthetics.
Gummy Smile Correction
Lip lowering surgery reduces excessive gum display by repositioning upper lip muscles. This 1988-pioneered technique avoids jaw surgery through precise incisions that limit lip elevation. Patients achieve balanced tooth-to-gum ratios with local anesthesia and minimal recovery, creating natural-looking smile transformations for both functional and cosmetic improvements.
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium-root anchored prosthetics. This permanent solution prevents bone loss while restoring chewing function and facial structure. The multi-stage process includes osseointegration, abutment placement, and custom crown fitting, providing results indistinguishable from natural teeth with proper oral hygiene maintenance.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores receded tissue using AlloDerm graft material instead of palate harvesting. This pinhole technique covers exposed roots, reduces sensitivity, and prevents further bone loss. The suture-free procedure offers faster healing while improving both dental health and aesthetic gum line symmetry, particularly for front teeth visibility.
Periodontal Treatment
Comprehensive periodontal care addresses bacterial infections causing gum recession and bone deterioration. Advanced laser therapies remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy structures. Treatment prevents systemic health complications linked to untreated periodontitis, combining deep cleaning with regenerative procedures to restore oral ecosystem balance and prevent tooth loss.

Questions
How long do gum bleaching results last?
Results typically last over 25 years with proper oral hygiene, as demonstrated by Dr. Farnoosh's own treated gums maintaining pink appearance long-term.
Is lip lowering surgery reversible?
The procedure permanently repositions lip muscles but can be revised if needed through follow-up surgical adjustments.
Can dental implants fail?
Failure occurs in <5% of cases with proper placement and maintenance, though smoking or poor oral hygiene increase risks.
Does gum grafting use synthetic materials?
We primarily use AlloDerm graft material instead of harvesting from the patient's palate for faster healing.
How soon after implants can I eat normally?
Wait 3-6 months for full osseointegration before resuming regular eating patterns to ensure implant stability.
Is gum bleaching covered by insurance?
Typically considered cosmetic, though some plans may cover portions when medically necessary for pigmentation disorders.
