Restore Your Gum Health & Secure Your Smile
Expert Care for the Foundation of Your Oral Health
Are you experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth? Don't let gum disease threaten your oral health and overall well-being. A Periodontist is a specialized dental professional dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement and maintenance of dental implants. We are the experts in the supporting structures of your teeth – your gums and jawbone.
What We Offer: Specialized Treatments & Lasting Solutions
Our commitment is to provide advanced, compassionate care using the latest techniques and technologies to save your natural teeth, restore your gum health, and provide stable foundations for a lifetime of smiles.
- Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation:
- A thorough examination of your gums, teeth, and bone structure to accurately diagnose the type and severity of any periodontal condition.
- Includes assessment for gum recession, bone loss, and inflammation.
- Non-Surgical Gum Therapy (Scaling & Root Planing):
- Often the first line of defense against gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, and smooths the root surfaces to encourage gum reattachment.
- Helps to eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and prevent disease progression.
- Surgical Periodontal Procedures:
- For advanced stages of gum disease or specific needs, we offer:
- Pocket Reduction Surgery: To reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and facilitate easier cleaning.
- Bone Grafting: Regenerative procedures to restore bone lost due to gum disease, preparing the area for implants or stabilizing existing teeth.
- Guided Tissue Regeneration: Utilizing membranes to encourage the natural growth of bone and gum tissue.
- Laser Periodontal Therapy: Minimally invasive techniques for precise treatment and faster healing.
- Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures:
- Gum Grafting: To cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve the aesthetics of your smile.
- Crown Lengthening: Reshaping gum and bone to expose more tooth structure, often for restorative purposes (e.g., preparing a tooth for a crown) or to correct a "gummy" smile.
- Dental Implant Placement & Restoration:
- The gold standard for replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a strong, durable, and natural-looking solution.
- We specialize in precise surgical placement of dental implants, including complex cases requiring bone augmentation or sinus lifts.
- Collaborate with your general dentist for the final prosthetic restoration.
- Periodontal Maintenance & Prevention:
- Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for preventing recurrence of gum disease and ensuring the long-term success of your treatments and implants.
- Personalized home care instructions and ongoing monitoring.
