Are you tired of living with crooked teeth? Are you ready to smile with confidence again? Perhaps you’ve considered straightening your teeth, but the idea of wearing braces is just as unappealing as teeth that overlap. Maybe you’ve heard of Invisalign, but you’re just not sure about it? Well, we’re here to dispel the myths about Invisalign and explain how it can help you reclaim your smile.


At Wynkoop Dental, our goal is to provide our patients with comprehensive care in the most relaxed manner possible. To do this consistently, we rely on the most advanced technology to make treatment procedures more comfortable and efficient for our patients. We’re excited to announce that we’ve added another piece of equipment that allows us to better serve our patients with more accurate diagnosis and the ability to offer advanced services that you may not find at other practices.

3D Imaging

Our new X-ray system delivers 3D images and X-rays with the highest definition and lowest dosages of radiation. This type of X-ray gives our doctors the ability to do many things such as:

  • Plan proper placement for dental implants before surgery, which ensures a more precise and efficient surgical procedure
  • Better diagnose for patients with a high risk of developing sleep apnea, which helps us determine the most effective treatment procedures
  • Detect fractures or other issues with roots of your teeth, which helps us perform more accurately diagnose potential problems

How Does This Benefit You?

We’re able to offer extremely high-resolution images with very little exposure to radiation. We even have a lower setting available for children. This makes taking X-rays very safe for our patients.

Clearer images allow for better diagnosis and opportunities for early detection of many dental issues. This gives patients the chance to choose treatment options that may be less invasive and costly.

At Wynkoop Dental, we strive to take care of all of your dental needs here at our office. Adding state-of-the-art equipment gives us the ability to offer more in-depth and comprehensive services and we are looking forward to increasing our capability to provide all-inclusive care here at our downtown Denver office.

Are you satisfied with your smile? Do you tend to show a lot of gum tissue when you smile? Do your teeth appear short or stubby? Does it make you self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth? Did you know there’s a fast and effective way to improve a “gummy smile”? It’s true! It’s called laser contouring and it can be done efficiently and comfortably at Wynkoop Dental.

What Constitutes a Gummy Smile?

This question is very subjective and is based a lot on perception. You may feel like you have a gummy smile when your teeth appear small or short, or you show a lot of gum tissue.

If you do see a lot of your gums when you smile, you may feel that they overshadow your teeth and detract from the aesthetics of your smile. It’s been determined that most people will begin to consider their smiles “gummy” when an excess of 3-4 millimetres is showing.

Soft Tissue Contouring

The dental laser can be used to remove the excess gum tissue that is hiding your true smile. While this sounds painful, with the use of the laser it’s really not. It sterilizes the treated area, which accelerates your healing time and also makes the treatment procedure more comfortable.

The laser delivers concentrated light and heat with precision and accuracy, and when you combine this with our dentist’s skill and artistry, you’ll be amazed at your results and excited to share your smile with the world!
