Met Dr. Tanur today for my first appointment. I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He explained the procedures needed for me in a way that was clear, concise and in a way that I could understand. I am no longer apprehensive about going to the Dentist...I also appreciated his kindly and gentle demeanor. I aim looking forward to being under his care.
Also everyone one I met in his office was super nice and helpful.
Overall had a great experience!

New Patient Here!! The entire Team was friendly and helpful and informative. The new patient process was efficient, not a pile of papers - a quick few minutes on my phone and we were on our way. Dr. Tanur was great at explaining the processes he uses and reviewed all possible outcomes, extremely knowledgeable and comforting. Many never say this about doctors, but I look forward to seeing this Doctor!

Edit: please see the before and 3 month post- procedure picture attached to see that this is not a “ changes in gum contour or pigmentation” that “can occur as part of the body’s natural healing response.”
Also if it is a “known biological possibilities whenever gum tissue is repositioned”, I guess I’m supposed to as a patient just know that without any disclosure from the doctor.
But most importantly what is being glossed over here AND when I reached out to their office a couple of days after my procedure is the doctor’s admittance right after the procedure that they have "removed some hyperpigmentation". I’ve tried to express my concerns to the doctor who refuses to acknowledge what happened and chalked up my atrocious results to a normal part of the procedure.
Additionally, the crown lengthening itself didn’t even result in a significant result for it to be worth all of this unnecessary trauma and drama.
I opted out of returning to the doctor for post op follow up and instead went to a different doctor after requesting my procedure notes. So my gum is not lighter due to lack of “proper healing, careful adherence to post-operative instructions, and completion of recommended follow-up visits” as their response here is insinuating.
Original post:
Went in for crown lengthening and came out with a lightened gum. The doctor told me as I was waking up from the anesthesia that they had "removed some hyperpigmentation."
After coming home I realized what happened I was so upset that an important part of my smile that hold a cultural significance is completely wiped.
The doctor insists that this is not an intentional lightening of my gum although they clearly said to me that they've "removed some hyperpigmentation" but also they never mentioned in my consultation that this was a possibility nor was it indicated in the consent form.
I consulted with a different periodontist after the fact and after reviewing my consent form, that makes no mention of lighter gum as an outcome of a crown lengthening, they suspect that this may have been done, because to some, a lighter gum is "aesthetically preferred".
Gum lightening maybe the "in thing" to do right now but I absolutely didn't consent to it. In fact I hate my results so much that I wish I never altered my original smile.
I recommend anyone who wouldn't want alterations to their smile on a whim of a doctor to avoid this place.
