Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery in Parker, CO

Patients who are unhappy with their smiles for a variety of reasons come to Dr. Roopi Kattaura for a solution.  The look of your smile includes the gums, and even when a patient’s teeth are healthy they may feel their gums keep them from a perfect smile.  Cosmetic periodontal surgery is a chance for all patients to achieve the look they desire.

Cosmetic periodontal surgery is the process of sculpting a patient’s gum line.  A procedure can include removing gum tissue, grafting gum tissue, or both. Patients with excess gum tissue may have a gummy smile, and this can be removed with a scalpel tool or laser to expose more of the tooth.  Elongated teeth are the result of gums that have receded.  In these cases, gum tissue is harvested from a healthy location in the patient’s mouth (usually the roof of the mouth) and grafted onto the area lacking tissue.  The end result is an even, stunning smile!

Oral Cancer Screenings in Parker, CO

Dr. Roopi Kattaura of Ardas Family Dental knows it is important that you and your family are aware of the risk of oral cancer.  Oral cancer screening may not be the most common reason you’ve visited a dentist, but regular screenings are the best way to protect yourself.

Heavy smoking and drinking do increase the risk of oral cancer, but oral cancer can still occur if someone never smokes.  The human papilloma virus (HPV) was recently found to be responsible for most oral cancers that originated in the back of the mouth.  Because there is no way to predict cancer, you should ask about an oral cancer screening with each dental checkup.  Your dentist will conduct a visual exam, and may use an ultraviolet light to see any irregularities inside the mouth. Always contact us if you notice any inexplicable pain, swelling, or numbness in your throat or jaw.

If you have questions or concerns regarding oral cancer screenings, please give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit General Dentist Parker, CO for more information or call 720-459-8420.
