Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a durable, natural-looking solution that preserves bone structure and supports long-term oral health. Ideal for patients seeking permanent tooth replacement, implants integrate with the jawbone for stability and function similar to natural teeth.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores receded gum tissue by transplanting tissue to exposed tooth roots. This procedure reduces sensitivity, protects against decay, and improves smile aesthetics. It is recommended for patients with gum recession caused by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetics.
Scaling and Root Planing
This non-surgical treatment removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line to combat periodontal disease. Root planing smooths tooth roots to eliminate bacteria and promote gum reattachment. It is essential for managing gum disease and preventing tooth loss in patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. It creates a stable foundation for dental implants by stimulating new bone growth. This procedure is critical for patients lacking sufficient bone density to support implants.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes restrictive frenulum tissue causing tongue or lip-ties. This minor surgical procedure improves oral mobility, aiding speech, feeding, and oral hygiene. It is recommended for patients experiencing functional limitations due to restricted frenulum attachments.
