Cosmetic Dentistry
in Long Island
It has been said that in designing a beautiful smile, the teeth are the actors and the gums are the scenery on stage. They have to complement each other to look natural and beautiful. The following patients had combinations of treatment. Many of the cases involve crown lengthening and /or root coverage to restore the proper gingival proportions.
This patient was ready to make some changes in her life and one of them was fixing her smile. The gum tissue was raised in some areas and lowered in others to create harmonious relationships. New restorations on the teeth combineds with good gum tissue esthetics gave her this great smile.
This is the daughter of a dentist who came to Dr. Scharf. We treated the gingivitis, and removed excess gum tissue from between the teeth. Crowns replaced the old discolored bonded fillings.
Some people are unhappy with their smiles, resulting in patients who don’t smile regularly or hide their teeth from view. Dr. David Scharf believes that all people should be able to smile without anxiety. We are proud to offer gum contouring to help you achieve a natural looking, happy, and healthy smile.

How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Benefit Me?
Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that aren’t required for your oral health, but benefit the aesthetic appeal of your mouth and teeth. In some cases, cosmetic dentistry can be used to solve an oral health issue, but for the most part it is just used to change the cosmetics of your smile. Gum reshaping is our contribution to make sure that you are ultimately happy with how your smile looks.
There are many things to take into considering when looking into cosmetic dentistry. A consultation visit with Dr. David Scharf will allow him to recommend the best cosmetic dentistry services for you based on what results you’re looking for.
Laser Gum Surgery
Many patients complain of having a gummy smile. This can occur from gum recession as a result of gum disease. In these scenarios, the patient’s gums begin to pull back or expand. In those cases, either too much of the tooth becomes exposed or too little. As a result, we can utilize a laser that will alter your gum line and restore it to an acceptable appearance.
Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to help you become happy with your smile and teeth again. Dr. David Scharf and the team of dental professionals with him are more than capable of utilizing numerous cosmetic dentistry procedures like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, clear braces, and more to restore your smile.
