Deep Dental Cleaning

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease or periodontitis, is a chronic, multifactorial condition that affects the supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can progress and lead to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss.
 

At our practice, we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, utilizing advanced techniques to thoroughly clean beneath the gum line and eliminate harmful bacteria. Our goal is to restore and maintain optimal oral health. Whether you're experiencing early signs or advanced stages of gum disease, we are committed to helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

Periodontal Regeneration 

Periodontal regeneration is an advanced dental procedure designed to restore the supporting structures of the teeth that have been damaged by gum disease. It is most commonly indicated in the treatment of advanced periodontitis, where significant loss of bone and connective tissue has occurred.
 

By promoting the regeneration of bone, periodontal ligament, and soft tissue, this procedure not only helps preserve teeth that might otherwise be lost but also enhances the overall health, function, and stability of the oral environment.

Biopsy

A dental biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the oral cavity for diagnostic evaluation. It is typically recommended when an oral lesion or abnormality is present and requires further investigation to determine its nature—whether benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
 

This procedure plays a critical role in the early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer and other potentially serious conditions, enabling timely and appropriate treatment.

Gum Grafts

A gum graft is a periodontal surgical procedure used to treat gum recession, enhance the appearance and health of the gums, and reduce root sensitivity. The procedure involves transplanting tissue—either from another area of the patient’s mouth or using donor tissue—to the affected sites where the gums have receded.
 

We offer a range of periodontal plastic surgery techniques and utilize various donor tissue sources, allowing us to tailor the treatment to each patient’s specific needs and extent of gum recession.

Extractions

When a tooth is deemed non-restorable, our periodontist will perform a safe and precise extraction, followed by a comprehensive treatment plan for tooth replacement. Utilizing advanced techniques, we focus on preserving the surrounding jawbone to maintain optimal oral structure and support future dental implant placement.
 

Whether the extraction is straightforward or complex, we ensure the procedure is carried out with the highest level of care and preparation for long-term oral health.

Dental Implants

Our periodontist specializes in the placement of dental implants, a permanent and highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring a natural, confident smile. We offer both single-tooth implants and full-arch implant solutions, tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.
 

Receiving dental implant treatment from a periodontist offers the distinct advantage of addressing both soft and hard tissue restoration, ensuring optimal function, stability, and an aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Canine Exposure

Canine exposure is a common procedure in orthodontics used to assist the eruption of an impacted canine—a tooth that fails to fully emerge and align properly within the dental arch. If left untreated, impacted canines can contribute to misalignment, bite irregularities, and damage to adjacent teeth or gum tissue.
 

The procedure involves surgically uncovering the impacted tooth and creating a pathway to guide it into its correct position, often in coordination with orthodontic treatment for optimal alignment and function.

Sinus Augmentation/Lift

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a surgical procedure designed to increase bone volume in the upper posterior jaw, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. This procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone height due to the proximity of the maxillary sinus, which can limit the placement of dental implants.
 

By elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material, a sinus lift creates the necessary foundation to securely support dental implants, significantly enhancing their long-term stability and success.

Bone Grafts

A bone graft is a surgical procedure in which bone, a bone substitute, or a bone-stimulating material is placed into an area of the jaw with insufficient bone volume—commonly in the tooth socket following an extraction. Bone grafting is essential for rebuilding and preserving the jawbone, particularly in preparation for dental implant placement.
 

This procedure helps establish a strong and stable foundation for future implants. We utilize advanced techniques and high-quality dental biomaterials to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term success for our patients.

Laser Therapy (LANAP)

The Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat gum disease. During the procedure, a dental laser is utilized to remove diseased gum tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets. The laser also promotes the regeneration of healthy gum tissue and bone surrounding the teeth.
 

LANAP is often preferred by patients due to its reduced discomfort and faster healing times when compared to traditional surgical methods.

Crown Lengthening

Functional crown lengthening is a procedure designed to preserve compromised teeth by increasing their length, making them suitable for the placement of a crown. Esthetic crown lengthening, on the other hand, enhances the appearance of your smile by removing excess gum tissue and exposing more of your natural teeth.
 

We offer both functional and esthetic crown lengthening treatments, tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.

Gingivectomy

A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the gum tissue. This procedure is typically performed to treat gum disease, address excessive gum tissue, create space for orthodontic treatment, or improve the overall environment for oral hygiene.
