Gummy Smile Correction
A gummy smile is the excessive display of gums while smiling, making the person feel conscious and less confident. Thus, to reduce the overgrown or excess gingiva (gums) over the tooth, we use Diode Laser technology. With diode lasers, oversized gums are shaped and contoured to achieve excellent smile line, thus improving the tooth visibility and the way you smile.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure to lighten the natural shade of your natural teeth. It helps whiten the outer layer of the teeth referred to as ‘enamel’ and the layer under it called ‘dentin’. Teeth Whitening is popular and effective as there’s no removal or change of teeth structure and it instantly enhances your teeth and smile.
To whiten the teeth, a rubber dam is used to cover the gums, a bleaching product is applied to the teeth and then a light or laser is shone to activate whitening agents. This is how convenient and quick this process is. However, whitening is not a one-time but periodic treatment if you wish to say bye-bye to stains or discolouration and have brilliant-white teeth always.
