Dr. Fabrianne Cohen
Dr. Cohen is our in-house periodontist, specialized in the health of gums and the bone that supports your teeth. The foundation beneath every cosmetic and restorative result.
Every great smile begins below the surface. Periodontal health — the condition of the gums and the bone that supports your teeth — is the foundation that every other dental treatment depends on. A beautifully designed smile fails when the gums recede. A perfectly placed implant fails when the surrounding bone is compromised. Dr. Cohen ensures these foundations are sound.
Dr. Cohen handles the full range of periodontal care at Art Dental Studio. For patients with active gum disease, this means non-surgical and surgical treatment to stop the progression and stabilize the supporting tissues. For patients planning cosmetic work, this means evaluating and treating any underlying periodontal issues before veneers or crowns are placed. For patients needing implants, this means bone grafting and tissue management to create the right foundation.
Her specialty also includes crown lengthening — a periodontal procedure that reshapes the gum line to expose more tooth structure. This is essential for treating "gummy smiles" and for creating proper aesthetic proportion in smile design cases. Dr. Cohen collaborates closely with Dr. Vivian on these cases.
Bilingual in English and Spanish. Available for consultation across all three Art Dental Studio locations.
No cosmetic result lasts without a strong, healthy foundation beneath it.

Why would I need a periodontist before getting veneers or implants?
Because cosmetic and restorative results depend on the gums and bone underneath them. A veneer or crown looks wrong if the gum line recedes, and an implant fails if the surrounding bone is weak. Dr. Cohen evaluates and treats these foundations before cosmetic work begins.
What does a periodontist treat?
A periodontist specializes in the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Dr. Cohen treats gum (periodontal) disease with non-surgical and surgical care, performs bone grafting, crown lengthening and gum recontouring, and prepares sites for dental implants.
Can Art Dental Studio treat gum disease without referring me out?
Yes. Dr. Cohen is the in-house periodontist at Art Dental Studio, so gum-disease treatment, bone grafting and implant-site preparation are handled within the same practice rather than referred to an outside specialist. She is available across all three locations.
Can a periodontist fix a "gummy smile"?
Yes. Crown lengthening — a periodontal procedure that reshapes the gum line to expose more tooth — is used to treat gummy smiles and to create proper proportion in smile-design cases. Dr. Cohen performs it in close collaboration with Dr. Vivian on cosmetic cases.
Does Dr. Cohen speak Spanish?
Yes. Dr. Cohen provides bilingual periodontal care in English and Spanish across all three Art Dental Studio locations.
