Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with the jawbone. Our board-certified periodontists use 3D imaging and guided surgery to ensure precise placement, offering single implants, bridges, or full-arch restorations. Patients regain natural chewing function and facial structure while preventing bone loss, with results lasting decades when maintained properly.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone density to support dental implants after tooth loss or gum disease. We use autogenous, allograft, or synthetic materials to stimulate natural bone regeneration, ensuring stable implant foundations. This procedure also prevents facial collapse and maintains oral health, with healing periods ranging from weeks to months depending on complexity.
Gum Disease Treatment
We treat gingivitis and periodontitis through scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions like osseous surgery. Our approach halts tissue destruction, reduces pocket depth, and prevents tooth loss while addressing systemic health risks linked to untreated gum disease. Custom maintenance plans ensure long-term stability and oral-systemic wellness.
All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 implants replace entire dental arches using four strategically angled implants for immediate load-bearing. This minimally invasive technique avoids bone grafting in many cases, providing fixed dentures in a single day. Patients enjoy improved aesthetics, speech, and chewing ability without adhesives, with durable acrylic or zirconia prosthetics designed for lifelong function.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Cosmetic procedures like gum grafts and crown lengthening enhance smiles by correcting recession, asymmetry, or 'gummy' appearances. We use microsurgical techniques to reshape tissue, expose more tooth structure, and create harmonious proportions. These treatments improve both appearance and tooth protection, with rapid recovery times and natural-looking outcomes.

Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
How much do dental implants cost?
Single implants start at $2,950, with total costs varying based on individual treatment plans, including any necessary preparatory procedures like bone grafting.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan; some policies cover portions of related procedures like extractions. Our team helps patients navigate insurance benefits and financing options.
Is the implant procedure painful?
Modern techniques and sedation options ensure minimal discomfort during placement, with most patients reporting easier recovery than expected using prescribed pain management.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. The attached crowns or dentures may require replacement every 10-15 years due to normal wear.
Who is a candidate for implants?
Most adults with missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density are eligible. Bone grafting can often address deficiencies, expanding candidacy for long-term solutions.
