Services
Gum Disease Treatment
Our comprehensive periodontal treatment addresses all stages of gum disease using both non-surgical and surgical approaches. Through scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery, and regenerative techniques, we help patients preserve their natural teeth and improve overall health. Our specialists utilize ultrasonic instruments, laser therapy, and antimicrobial treatments to effectively manage infection while minimizing discomfort.
Dental Implants
We provide complete dental implant solutions for single or multiple missing teeth. Our services include implant placement, bone grafting when needed, and collaboration with restorative dentists for final crown placement. Using 3D CT scan technology, we ensure precise implant positioning for optimal function and aesthetics while offering options for immediate implant placement following tooth extraction.
Gum Recession Treatment
Our gum grafting procedures address exposed root surfaces caused by recession. We use both traditional palatal grafts and alternative tissue sources to restore gum tissue, improve aesthetics, and protect against root decay. Treatment helps reduce tooth sensitivity while preventing further recession through improved tissue architecture and thickness.
Periodontal Regeneration
Specialized regenerative techniques restore lost bone structure around teeth. Using bone grafts, growth factors, and barrier membranes, we stimulate natural tissue regeneration to stabilize teeth affected by advanced periodontal disease. This procedure helps maintain natural dentition and improves long-term prognosis for compromised teeth.
Esthetic Crown Lengthening
This cosmetic procedure reshapes excess gum tissue to reveal more of the natural tooth structure. We address 'gummy smiles' by carefully contouring gum and bone tissue to create balanced proportions, improving both aesthetics and oral hygiene access while maintaining healthy tissue architecture.
