Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to mimic the natural structure of teeth, providing a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Our experienced periodontist will carefully evaluate your oral health and determine the best treatment plan for your individual case. With precise implant placement and advanced restoration techniques, we can help you achieve a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Osseous surgery, also known as flap surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis). During the procedure, our periodontist accesses the underlying bone and remove bacteria, tartar, and diseased tissue. This helps to eliminate pockets between the gums and teeth, promoting gum reattachment and preventing further damage. Osseous surgery aims to restore the health of your gums and prevent tooth loss caused by periodontal disease.
After a tooth extraction, the surrounding bone can begin to deteriorate. Ridge preservation is a preventive procedure that helps maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone after tooth extraction. Our periodontist uses biocompatible materials to fill the socket left by the extracted tooth, preserving the bone structure and providing a solid foundation for future dental restorations, such as dental implants.
Crown lengthening is a procedure performed to expose more of the tooth's surface by reshaping or removing gum tissue and, in some cases, bone. It is often done to prepare the tooth for a dental crown or to improve the appearance of a "gummy smile." Our skilled periodontist utilizes precise techniques to create a harmonious gum line and achieve optimal aesthetics and function.
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore bone loss in the jaw. It is commonly performed to support dental implants or to enhance the structure and volume of the jawbone for better stability and appearance. Our periodontist employs various bone grafting techniques, including autografts, allografts, and xenografts, to regenerate and strengthen the jawbone, facilitating successful implant placement and long-term oral health.
Gum grafting, also known as a gum tissue graft, is a surgical procedure performed to restore and enhance gum tissue in areas where it has receded or been damaged. Gum recession can expose the roots of the teeth, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and compromised aesthetics. Our periodontist uses advanced techniques to carefully harvest gum tissue from one area of your mouth and graft it onto the affected area, promoting gum tissue regeneration and improving both function and appearance.
