I always had a gummy smile, which made my teeth appear to be short and my gum line uneven. Since my wedding date is approaching, I decided it was time to get a "Hollywood" smile.

Great review?

It is without reservation that I recommend Dr. Olga Kharevich. Dr. Olga performed cosmetic crown lengthening on my teeth and gums. I always had a gummy smile, which made my teeth appear to be short and my gum line uneven. Since my wedding date is approaching, I decided it was time to get a "Hollywood" smile. Dr. Olga is extremely professional and friendly. I immediately felt comfortable having her perform my surgical procedure. I believe it is also important to note that Dr. Olga is the first dentist I've had where the numbing lidocaine shots did not hurt! Even after the procedure, Dr. Olga called me regularly to make sure that my recovery was going well. I am completely satisfied with my results. I highly recommend Dr. Olga Kharevich to anyone who is seeking a Periodontist and Cosmetic Dentist

I was just wondering, did the procedure cost $1500 after health insurance or without insurance? Thank you!!

Hi Megan,

I am a baby when it comes to pain. But the procedure wasn't bad at all. I didn't feel a thing. I actually was able to listen to my mp3 player during the procedure. The recovery was a pain, not because I was hurting, but because the cast/paste they put over your teeth and gums to protect the stitches was uncomfortable. Having the stitches removed hurt worse than the surgery itself.

Right after the surgery was over, I started taking the pain medication Dr. Olga prescribed and antibiotics, so I was pretty comfortable.

Glad to hear that overall it wasn't too bad - the results are really nice!

Hope all your wedding plans are coming along smoothly. :)

Wow, your teeth look great! Your smile is going to look amazing in your wedding photos.

Do you mind me asking how uncomfortable the procedure was, and what it was like afterwards?
