At Pasadena Dental Aesthetics, patients come to our office for a variety of dental needs. Preventive and cosmetic treatments can help enhance the health and appearance of a patient’s smile, while restorative and advanced procedures can improve structural and functional concerns. Additionally, some cases require collaboration with a specialist, which in this case was the periodontist or gum specialist. One of our patients recently came to cosmetic dentist Arash Azarbal, DDS looking to improve their smile. They were particularly unhappy with their “gummy smile” and the appearance of their old crowns and bridges that featured porcelain fused to metal. Dr. Azarbal believes in collaborating with other dental specialists and using the latest techniques and state-of-the-art technology to address an individual’s specific needs and goals, tailoring treatment plans accordingly. He understands that a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile can improve a patient’s confidence, as well as their quality of life.
For cases such as our recent patient who was looking to improve their smile profile, Dr. Azarbal collaborated with a local periodontist to come up with a dental treatment plan to address the gummy smile with gum surgery and with a local cosmetic dental laboratory to design new aesthetic porcelain restorations. Dr. Azarbal coordinated and sequenced the treatment to achieve a beautiful aesthetic outcome that the patient was very happy with. Dr. Azarbal utilizes mercury-free dentistry techniques. This allows Dr. Azarbal to replace older restorations with materials such as porcelain and composite resin, reducing signs of a “metallic” appearance. The patient received all new porcelain crowns and dental bridges, enabling the improvements to blend in more seamlessly and naturally with the rest of their smile.
