Cosmetic Contouring
Provides immediate reshaping of the tooth, and can make crowded teeth, or overly large front teeth the right size. It's usually painless, requiring no anesthetic, and offers an immediate correction of the problem. There are times when contouring cannot be done because it will adversely affect the bite.

Implants
When a tooth is missing, an implant can sometimes be used instead of a bridge. A metal post is imbedded into the bone and serves as an anchor for a crown or bridge. Long-term results depend on various factors, including the amount of bone that's available for the anchor.

Gum Recontouring
In addition to changing the shape of the teeth,
there are times when altering the gumline can
dramatically improve the smileline, and even
enhance the overall facial appearance.
Recommendations for gum recontouring
are made by Dr. Bach in consultation
with the on-staff periodontist.
