LANAP™ Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure is an FDA-cleared, minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery that requires no cutting and no sutures. Using a precise laser, Dr. Tesmer and Dr. Langston target and eliminate up to 99% of the disease-causing bacteria deep within the gum pockets, while leaving healthy tissue completely intact. Patients benefit from significantly less discomfort, minimal downtime, and faster healing compared to conventional periodontal surgery, making LANAP™ an ideal solution for those who may have put off treatment due to fear or a busy schedule. Whether your gum disease is in its early stages or has progressed to a more serious level, our experienced team will evaluate your condition and determine if LANAP™ laser therapy is the right path to restoring your gum health and protecting your smile for years to come.


Crown Lengthening - Periodontists in St. Petersburg

Crown lengthening is a precise and versatile periodontal procedure performed by our skilled specialists to improve both the health and appearance of your smile. Whether the need is functional or cosmetic, crown lengthening involves carefully reshaping the gum tissue and, when necessary, the underlying bone to expose more of the tooth's surface. Functionally, this procedure is often recommended when a tooth is too short or damaged below the gumline to support a crown or restoration, giving your restorative dentist the solid foundation needed for long-lasting results. Cosmetically, crown lengthening can correct a "gummy smile" by creating a more balanced, proportionate appearance between your teeth and gums. The procedure is performed right here in our state-of-the-art St. Petersburg office using the latest minimally invasive techniques, ensuring your comfort throughout and a smooth, efficient recovery. If your dentist has referred you for crown lengthening, or if you're simply curious whether it's the right solution for your smile, we welcome you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tesmer, Dr. Langston, or Dr. Aguirre today.
