BUSTING MYTHS ABOUT BOTOX

Botox is a type of drug which is used in medical cosmetology to remove wrinkles and fine lines from face by temporarily relaxing the muscles of the face. The active ingredient in BOTOX is derived from a bacteria called clostridium botulinum in much the same way, penicillin is derived from mould. It is manufactured in sterile laboratory conditions. BOTOX is a prescription only medicine and treatment is only available from a trained qualified medical professional.

Botox treatment is used to relax specific facial muscles that form dynamic wrinkles (the wrinkles that are formed during facial expression ).Thus the lines gradually smoothen and new lines are prevented from forming .
Based on the analysis done by your doctor and according to the number of units needed in your case, required amount of Botox is injected into the muscle responsible for formation of the wrinkle. Once Botox is injected , the affected muscle relaxes and softens the wrinkles.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GUM LIFT

WHAT IS GUM LIFT ?

It is a cosmetic procedure performed to reduce the "gummy smile" .
By gummy smile we mean that the gums of an individual show more than what should be visible while talking, smiling, laughing etc.
It is a discrepancy between white(teeth) and pink (gum).
People that require a gum lift often complain that their teeth appear too small or too short.
Gum lift is exactly  what it term suggests, it essentially involves exposing more of the natural tooth structure covered under the gum making teeth longer and enhances the patient's smile,


REASONS FOR TEETH - GUM DISCREPANCY:
There are number of reasons that may cause a gummy smile :

1. Shape and size of the teeth
2. Excessive maxilla
3. Excessive gum tissue
4. Shape and size of the lip
5. Conditions and shape of facial muscles

THE PROCEDURE:

It is a simple procedure which involves re-contouring of the gum tissue,it  may sometimes require removal of bone tissue also.There are three ways of doing this procedure, the traditional way which is performed with scalpel after giving anesthesia. But with the advent of lasers in dentistry this procedure has become very conservative and can be performed with much ease and without any discomfort to the patient.

LASER gum lift is a painless, non-invasive procedure not requiring any sutures and the gum healing is six to eight times faster. Thirdly BOTOX is an excellent product to manage a gummy smile in a totally non invasive manner. It acts by relaxing  the muscle and prevents excessive pulling of the upper lip thereby decreasing the excessive gum show.

CAN I PERFORM OTHER PROCEDURES:

Yes, once the gums have healed we can perform other treatments and cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening,veneers  to close gaps, treat chipped ,discolored  teeth for further enhancement of  your smile.
