Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as sturdy foundations for restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering long-term stability and natural aesthetics. Our specialists use advanced 3D imaging and guided technology for precise placement, ensuring optimal functionality and a seamless appearance. Patients benefit from restored oral function, improved confidence, and the ability to enjoy a full range of foods without restriction.
LANAP Laser Surgery
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive treatment for periodontal disease that uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue and promote regeneration. This technique eliminates the need for scalpels or sutures, reducing recovery time and discomfort. Patients experience less bleeding, faster healing, and preservation of healthy gum tissue while addressing bone loss and infection. It is ideal for those seeking a less invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery.
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession treatment addresses exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums, reducing sensitivity and preventing further oral health complications. Options include tissue grafting, the Pinhole Surgical Technique, and scaling/root planing. These procedures restore gum health, protect tooth structures, and improve aesthetics. Patients regain comfort, reduce decay risk, and achieve a more balanced smile through personalized, minimally invasive approaches.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores lost jawbone density to support dental implants or stabilize existing structures. Using donor or autogenous bone material, we rebuild areas affected by resorption or disease. This procedure ensures sufficient bone volume for implant placement and prevents further deterioration. Patients achieve long-term stability for restorations and improved facial contours through a carefully integrated healing process.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery treats advanced periodontal disease by reshaping damaged bone and reducing gum pockets to eliminate bacterial buildup. The procedure clears infection, promotes tissue regeneration, and restores oral health. Patients experience reduced inflammation, preserved teeth and bone structure, and lower systemic health risks associated with chronic gum disease, achieving both functional and aesthetic improvements.

What is LANAP laser gum surgery?
LANAP is a minimally invasive gum disease treatment using laser technology to remove infected tissue and regenerate healthy gum attachment without cutting or sutures.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Candidates for dental implants must have sufficient jawbone density and good oral health. Bone grafting may make implants possible for those with bone loss.
How does the Pinhole Surgical Technique work?
This technique repositions gum tissue through small pinholes, avoiding incisions and grafting, to cover exposed roots and reduce recession.
What are the benefits of osseous surgery?
Osseous surgery reduces gum pockets, eliminates infection, and reshapes bone to restore oral health and prevent tooth loss.
Does insurance cover periodontal treatments?
Coverage varies by plan, but many procedures like gum disease treatment and implants may be partially covered if deemed medically necessary.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last decades or a lifetime, offering a durable, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
