Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth by integrating artificial roots into the jawbone. This solution offers durability and a natural appearance, preserving bone health and adjacent teeth. Ideal candidates have sufficient bone density and healthy gums.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots caused by recession, reducing sensitivity and preventing further bone loss. Tissue is typically harvested from the palate, restoring both aesthetics and gum health through surgical intervention.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. This procedure enhances smiles affected by a 'gummy' appearance and prepares teeth for restorative treatments like crowns.
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery addresses advanced gum disease by reducing pocket depth and regenerating lost bone. Techniques include scaling and root planing, osseous surgery, and tissue regeneration to restore oral health.
Sinus Augmentation
Sinus augmentation increases bone volume in the upper jaw to support dental implants. The sinus floor is raised and filled with bone graft material, creating a stable foundation for implant placement.
