Have you ever heard the expression “long in the tooth”, typically used to describe those that are getting older? Have you ever stopped and wondered why that expression even exists? Believe it or not, it has to do with smile, but nothing to do with your teeth. This expression is used because as we age, our gums begin to recede and gives the impression that our teeth have gotten longer. Yes, the culprit for this funny little saying is gum recession.
What causes our gums to recede depends on a number of options, from genetics to poor dental hygiene. But don’t worry, the condition is treatable.

Dr. Cohen is a genuinely awesome person, and he really prioritizes patient comfort. I’d love to elaborate about my actual surgery, but don’t remember much honestly. It was pain free and went by like a breeze, and a week out I don’t think I felt much pain at all. All of his staff are wonderful, and the happy vibes from everyone makes the whole patient experience perfect. If you need periodontal work, there’s no reason not to see Dr. Cohen, they are the best!

I was having very bad mouth pain and Dr Cohen made time to do surgery the very next day. I was very nervous about the surgery but Dr Cohen explained everything very well and the procedure was painless. I had no pain after the surgery and was able to go on a business trip the very next day. I highly recommend Dr Cohen.

I’ve got to say, this was one of the easiest procedures I ever had in my life as far as dental work goes. Even easier than getting my teeth cleaned! . Dr. Cohen and his staff are excellent and made me feel very comfortable. They explained everything in detail and left no loose ends. I had absolutely no discomfort, no pain, no bruising or bleeding (this is very rare for me!), and very little swelling on which I used ice packs the first day. If you are considering this procedure, LANAP, please don’t be the least bit hesitant. In my opinion, it was a piece of cake!!! Thank You, Dr. Cohen and Staff, for all you did for me!!

The procedure was totally pain-free and the recovery was incredibly comfortable and fast. Post-surgery, Dr. Cohen called l to see how I was doing. I am so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Cohen.
