Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with titanium posts fused to the jawbone, offering durable, natural-looking results. Ideal for patients with bone loss, they restore chewing function and prevent further oral health issues. Our team uses CT imaging and guided surgery for precise placement.
Periodontal Surgery
Osseous surgery reduces deep gum pockets caused by advanced periodontal disease. This procedure removes bacteria, reshapes bone, and promotes healing to save teeth and improve systemic health outcomes.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone density to support dental implants or repair damage from gum disease. We use autografts, allografts, or synthetic materials with growth factors to stimulate natural regeneration.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots caused by recession, reducing sensitivity and preventing tooth loss. Tissue from the palate or donor sources is used to restore healthy gumlines and aesthetics.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening removes excess gum tissue to expose more tooth structure for restorative work or cosmetic improvement. This procedure enhances smiles and provides better access for dental crowns.
