Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing or damaged teeth with titanium posts that integrate with jawbone tissue. This solution restores chewing function, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and maintains facial structure. Our practice uses high-quality implant systems with proven success rates and offers both conventional and immediate implant placement options.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting treats recession by transplanting tissue to exposed root surfaces. This procedure protects tooth roots from decay, reduces sensitivity, and improves smile aesthetics. We employ minimally invasive techniques using either patient-harvested or donor tissue for optimal healing and cosmetic results.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
This surgical procedure addresses advanced periodontitis by cleaning infected pockets between teeth and gums. It reduces bacterial buildup, promotes gum reattachment, and prevents further bone loss. Local anesthesia ensures patient comfort during the 45-60 minute procedure with follow-up care for proper healing.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing periodontal maintenance includes deep cleanings, pocket depth monitoring, and oral hygiene instruction. These regular appointments prevent disease progression, maintain treatment results, and ensure long-term dental implant success through specialized cleaning techniques and personalized home care guidance.
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam computed tomography provides detailed 3D images of teeth, bone, and soft tissues. This technology enables precise implant placement planning, detects hidden dental issues, and assesses bone quality for grafting procedures while minimizing radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans.

Questions
Why should I see a periodontist for gum treatment?
Periodontists receive 3 additional years of specialized training beyond dental school in diagnosing and treating gum disease and placing dental implants using minimally invasive techniques.
Will periodontal procedures cause discomfort?
Modern techniques and local anesthesia ensure most procedures involve minimal discomfort. Our team prioritizes patient comfort through gentle approaches and thorough pre-operative explanations.
Do you use 3D imaging for implant planning?
Yes, we recommend cone beam CT scans for implant placement to precisely evaluate bone structure and avoid vital anatomical structures while optimizing treatment outcomes.
How does insurance work for periodontal treatment?
We help patients maximize dental insurance benefits for periodontal care. Coverage varies by plan, so we provide detailed estimates and coordinate with your general dentist for comprehensive treatment planning.
Can gum recession be reversed without surgery?
While gum recession cannot be reversed, early intervention with improved oral hygiene and scaling may slow progression. Gum grafting remains the most effective solution for moderate to severe recession cases.
What happens after dental implant placement?
Following implant surgery, a 3-6 month healing period allows bone integration. Your dentist then creates the restoration, and we schedule regular maintenance visits to ensure long-term implant success through professional cleanings and monitoring.
