Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They fuse with the bone through osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This solution restores chewing function, prevents bone loss, and maintains facial structure while offering a natural appearance and long-term durability.
LANAP Laser Therapy
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) treats gum disease using a precision laser to remove infected tissue and bacteria. This minimally invasive method preserves healthy tissue, reduces bleeding, and promotes regeneration of bone and gum attachment. Patients experience faster healing, less discomfort, and no need for scalpels or sutures compared to traditional surgery.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume lost to periodontal disease or tooth loss. Using autogenous, allograft, or xenograft materials, the procedure creates a stable base for dental implants. It prevents facial collapse, supports tooth replacement, and enhances long-term oral health by stimulating natural bone regeneration around the graft site.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting covers exposed tooth roots caused by recession, reducing sensitivity and preventing further tissue loss. Techniques like connective tissue grafts use donor tissue to reinforce thin gums, improve aesthetics, and protect against decay. The procedure enhances smile appearance while safeguarding tooth structure and supporting periodontal health.
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance involves regular deep cleanings to manage gum disease after initial treatment. These appointments include scaling below the gumline, pocket depth monitoring, and bite evaluation to prevent reinfection. Consistent maintenance helps preserve tooth and bone structure, reduces systemic health risks, and ensures long-term stability following periodontal therapy.

Questions
What is a periodontist, and why should I see one?
A periodontist specializes in treating gum disease and placing dental implants. You may need one if you have severe gum recession, bone loss, or require implant-supported tooth replacement.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and changes in bite alignment. Early detection prevents progression to advanced periodontitis.
How does LANAP laser therapy work?
LANAP uses a precision laser to remove infected tissue and bacteria without cutting or sutures. It stimulates bone regeneration and reattaches healthy tissue to teeth, offering faster healing than traditional surgery.
Are dental implants right for me?
Implants are ideal for patients missing one or more teeth with sufficient bone support. They preserve jaw structure, function like natural teeth, and offer a permanent solution compared to dentures.
What payment options are available?
We accept major insurance plans and offer financing options for extensive treatments. Our team helps maximize benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs for periodontal care.
How often should I schedule periodontal maintenance?
Most patients require cleanings every 3-4 months after gum disease treatment. Regular visits prevent reinfection, monitor treatment success, and maintain long-term oral health.
