Gum Contourning Manhattan, NYC

Crown lengthening is required when a tooth needs to be restored with a crown but there is not enough tooth structure above the gum line to correctly make the crown.  We use a Pulsemaster 600 IQ laser which significantly reduces the inconvenience to the patient.  The laser quickly and painlessly removes gum tissue so enough tooth structure is exposed to place a crown.  Because a laser is used, the need for an extra visit to a periodontist is eliminated.  There is little or no discomfort and the recovery time is expedited.

Dr. Schwartz has been my dentist for over 15 years.  I would never even consider changing to another dentist because of the excellent care I have always received from him and everyone in his office.

He believes in preventative care and thus most of my visits are confined to routine cleanings and check-ups three to four times a year.  I rarely have any "problems" with my teeth because before a problem can occur he has already foreseen the situation and taken the necessary steps to correct and prevent the problem.  However, when he has had to do some work, like a filling (and thanks to him, I've had one in all 15 years!), he has to be the most gentle,careful, pain-free and caring dentist I have ever experienced.

This carries over to his staff, especially the dental hygienist and assistants.  They are so pleasant and skilled that I honestly look forward to getting my teeth cleaned and if I could manage to keep my mouth open, I could easily take a nap while they are working on me!

In addition, he offers flexible scheduling with extended timings so that you can always get an appointment that fits into your own schedule.  His office is great with reminding you when to come in, following up on your appointments and handling your insurance formalities.  And if you have an emergency, they get you in right away.

I have recommended Dr. Schwartz to friends, co-workers and even strangers and they always thank me for the recommendation.
