To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At Kennedy Dentistry, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Kennedy
Kennedy Dentistry

Improve Your Smile With Gum Reshaping in North Knoxville

If you’ve improved your appearance with cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or filled gaps in your smile with teeth replacements like dental implants, you’ll want to show it off. That can be tough if your gums sit too low on your teeth. Let our dentists transform your smile from gummy to great with gum reshaping in North Knoxville.

This simple procedure will:

  • Create a more attractive balance between your teeth and gums
  • Make it easier to receive dental veneers or other restorations
  • Give your teeth a longer appearance
  • Make you more confident in your smile’s appearance

Would you like your smile to look less gummy? Call us today at 865-947-2220.

Our Laser Keeps Your Procedure & Recovery Comfortable

Some dentists use a scalpel to remove excess gum tissue. We use a dental laser. With a laser, no cutting or stitching is needed. You’ll enjoy:

  • A Quicker and Less Complicated Procedure – A laser makes much faster work of the process.
  • More Comfort – Most patients require no more than topical anesthesia, no injection needed! There’s also no cutting involved.
  • Faster Recovery – The laser cauterizes as it works, and there are no stitches. So you will heal quickly, with a reduced chance of post-procedure complications.

If needed, our dentists can make you more comfortable with injection-free anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. You can even relax with a pillow and blanket while we work. If you still feel nervous, you can take the edge off with fast-acting laughing gas. Unlike other forms of dental sedation, it won’t leave any lingering grogginess. You’ll be able to drive yourself home!

Make Your Teeth Look Beautiful Too

You can choose from many cosmetic procedures to make your teeth beautiful too, including:

  • Teeth Whitening – Brighten your smile with a treatment in our office or home treatments.
  • Teeth Contouring – You may be able to correct minor flaws with this quick and simple treatment.
  • Dental Bonding – Our cosmetic dentists can apply tooth-colored resin to your teeth to hide flaws.
  • Dental Veneers – Custom-made porcelain veneers can change almost anything you don’t like about your smile.

Common Questions About Gum Reshaping

Gum reshaping is a comfortable procedure at our office, thanks to our dental laser. Unlike treatment performed without a laser, no scalpel is involved. To ensure you won’t feel a thing, we will numb you first using our injection-free anesthesia. You can also receive laughing gas if you’d like. With no stitches, your recovery is quicker and more comfortable too.

We’ll work with you to determine how much tissue you want to remove to better showcase your teeth. We can use a pen to show you what your gumline will look like following your procedure. We’ll numb your gums first for pain-free treatment. Then we’ll remove the gum tissue with our laser, a process that can be completed in minutes.

The fee will vary, depending on how much gum tissue is removed, among other factors. Typically, you can expect to pay several hundred dollars. Our dentists will be able to give you a more specific estimate after a cosmetic consultation during which they will assess your individual situation. Insurance may cover part of the cost if the procedure is performed as part of gum disease treatment.
