Functional crown lengthening in GNUX Dental

GNUX Dental is a multi-specialty dental clinic in Cancun, Mexico. Established in 2016, the facility runs five specialized departments. It focuses on digital dentistry and computer-aided treatment planning. The clinic provides restorative, aesthetic, and surgical services in a single location.

Professional Accreditations and Medical Team

The medical team consists of licensed dentists with memberships in several international organizations. These include the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI). Specialists also belong to the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD).

Clinic doctors attend professional events such as the International Congress of Periodontology. The team brings in specialists for complex gum and implant procedures. This reduces risks like sinus or nerve complications.

Dental Specialties and Procedures

The clinic treats advanced gum disease using LANAP – a laser-assisted protocol. This procedure is completed in one session to stop periodontitis or regenerate damaged tissue. The treatment includes:

• Local anesthesia per quadrant
• Periodontal probing to measure bone loss
• Scaling and root planing
• Laser disinfection and surface sealing

Orthodontic services include traditional braces, clear aligners, and computer-assisted planning. The clinic performs corticotomies – minor surgical cuts that speed up tooth movement. This shortens total treatment time. Doctors also use the PowerScope corrector for specialized bite adjustments.

For missing teeth, the surgical team places Straumann dental implants and Neodent systems. Restorative options include crowns, bridges, and implant-supported dentures. Surgeons also perform complex extractions for teeth that root canal therapy cannot save.

Aesthetic dentistry focuses on gum contouring and smile enhancement. Specialists perform gingivectomies and gingivoplasties to reshape the gum line. Other procedures include crown lengthening, root coverage, and teeth whitening.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

The clinic uses an end-to-end digital workflow for treatment planning. Diagnosis starts with 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT). This evaluates jaw bone structure and tooth orientation, so implants are placed accurately and orthodontic mapping is precise.

Treatment accuracy is supported by several specialized systems:

• Waterlase equipment for laser-assisted gum disinfection
• Phillips Zoom WhiteSpeed for light-activated teeth whitening
• CAD/CAM digital dental lab for restoration fabrication
• 3M Filtek composite resins for durable restorations

The diagnostic suite also includes panoramic X-rays, skull CT scans, and periapical imaging. These tools allow the team to perform oral biopsies and plan guided tissue regeneration with high precision.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides English-language service across all departments. This covers the entire care pathway – from initial imaging to final dental rehabilitation. Patients can book online to coordinate visits.

Staff members speak fluent English and Spanish to assist with treatment planning. The clinic offers online consultations to review diagnostic images before patients arrive. This means the treatment plan is ready before the first appointment.
