Our periodontal department offers a complete range of treatments designed to address every aspect of gum and bone health. From preventive care to complex surgical procedures, we tailor each treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals.
In-House Board-Certified Periodontist
Having a board-certified periodontist on our team means you receive the highest level of specialized care without the inconvenience of referrals to outside offices. Our periodontist brings years of advanced training and expertise in treating conditions affecting the gums, bones, and supporting structures of your teeth. This specialized knowledge ensures precise diagnosis and treatment planning tailored to your unique needs.
Gum Grafting: Restoring Your Gum Line
Receding gums can cause sensitivity, increase your risk of decay, and affect the appearance of your smile. Our gum grafting procedures effectively restore lost gum tissue, protecting your tooth roots and improving your smile’s aesthetics. Using the latest techniques, we can achieve natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing gum line.
Before treatment, patients often experience discomfort when eating or drinking cold foods and may feel self-conscious about exposed tooth roots. After gum grafting, patients enjoy renewed confidence in their smile and relief from sensitivity. The transformation can be remarkable, with many patients amazed at how natural and healthy their gums look following treatment.
Gingivectomy and Gum Contouring
Sometimes called “gum reshaping,” gingivectomy and gum contouring procedures create a more balanced, attractive gum line. If you have a “gummy smile” or uneven gum tissue, these treatments can dramatically improve your smile’s appearance. Our precise techniques ensure optimal healing and beautiful, natural-looking results.
The procedure involves carefully removing excess gum tissue or reshaping the gum line to create better proportion between your teeth and gums. Many patients are surprised by how much this relatively simple procedure can enhance their overall appearance.
Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement
As specialists in the supporting structures of teeth, our periodontal team excels in dental implant placement. Implants provide the most natural and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. Our expertise in bone and gum tissue management ensures optimal implant integration and long-term success.
We evaluate each case carefully, considering bone density, gum health, and your overall oral health to determine the best approach for your implant treatment. When additional procedures like bone grafting are needed, we can often perform these simultaneously, reducing your overall treatment time.
Expert Extractions
Sometimes tooth extraction becomes necessary to preserve your overall oral health. Our periodontal expertise ensures extractions are performed with minimal discomfort and optimal healing. We use advanced techniques that preserve as much surrounding tissue as possible, setting the stage for successful future treatments like implants.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth often cause problems due to lack of space in the mouth, leading to impaction, crowding, or infection. Our surgical expertise allows us to remove wisdom teeth efficiently while minimizing discomfort and recovery time. We carefully evaluate each case using advanced imaging to plan the most conservative approach possible.
