Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring both function and aesthetics. Our board-certified periodontists use advanced 3D imaging and guided surgery to ensure precise placement. Implants help prevent jawbone atrophy and offer a natural-looking solution that mimics the look, feel, and function of real teeth.
LANAP
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) treats gum disease using a specialized laser to remove infected tissue while preserving healthy structures. This FDA-cleared method reduces pain, bleeding, and recovery time compared to traditional surgery. The laser stimulates regeneration of gum tissue and bone, promoting long-term periodontal health with minimal discomfort and faster healing for patients.
All-on-4
All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of missing teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This technique often eliminates the need for bone grafting, allowing immediate placement of temporary dentures during the same appointment. The implants provide stable support for a permanent prosthetic, restoring full chewing function and facial aesthetics with fewer implants than traditional methods.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring reshapes the gum line to correct a 'gummy smile' or uneven gum tissue. Using precise laser technology, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the tooth surface, creating a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. This minimally invasive procedure improves tooth appearance while maintaining gum health and function.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume lost from tooth loss or periodontal disease. This procedure uses synthetic or natural bone material to strengthen the jaw, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. Our periodontists employ advanced techniques to minimize recovery time while maximizing bone regeneration, ensuring successful implant placement and long-term oral health.
