Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease can be treated through both surgical and non-surgical methods. Non-surgical treatments include scaling and root planing, where plaque and tartar are removed from the tooth and root surfaces. Surgical treatments may involve procedures like flap surgery or bone grafting to repair damage caused by advanced gum disease.

Gum Recession Treatment (Gum Grafting)

Gum grafting is a treatment for gum recession where gum tissue is taken from another area of the mouth (typically the palate) and placed over the exposed tooth roots. This procedure helps to restore gum tissue, improve aesthetics, and protect tooth roots from further damage.

Aesthetic and Functional Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a procedure that involves reshaping the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth’s surface. It can be performed for aesthetic purposes to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile or to provide more tooth structure for dental restorations like crowns or bridges.

Impacted Tooth Exposure for Orthodontic Treatment

When a tooth fails to erupt properly and remains impacted, it can be surgically exposed to aid in orthodontic treatment. The procedure involves uncovering the impacted tooth and attaching an orthodontic bracket to guide its movement into proper alignment.

Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics

Surgically assisted orthodontics is a combined treatment approach that involves a combination of periodontal (gum) therapy and orthodontic treatment. It aims to accelerate tooth movement by enhancing the bone remodeling process, allowing for shorter treatment times and improved orthodontic outcomes.

Dental Extractions

Dental extractions involve removing teeth completely. While we want to do everything we can to help our patients keep their natural teeth, this procedure can become necessary due to severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, tooth crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth.

Dental Implant Surgical Placement

Dental implant placements involve placing an artificial tooth root (implant) into the jawbone, which serves as a foundation for an implant crown or denture. The procedure typically requires multiple stages, including implant placement, healing, and placement of the prosthetic tooth or teeth.

Nobel All-on-4^® Implants

All-on-4 dental implants are an innovative solution for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth. This technique involves placing four dental implants strategically in the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for a full arch of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants offer improved stability, function, and aesthetics.

Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to restore the natural contour of the jawbone after tooth loss or extraction. It involves adding bone or bone substitute material to the ridge to create a more stable foundation for dental implants or prevent the patient’s face from appearing sunken.

Sinus Lift Procedure

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that involves adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. It is performed when there is insufficient bone height in the back of the upper jaw, often required for successful dental implant placement.

Sedation Dentistry

Our office provides nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation, which can help patients tune out their surroundings and help their appointments fly by. Our sedation services are safe and effective, and they can be especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety and those who have trouble sitting still for long periods of time.
