Our Services
We provide a variety of surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues.
Many times, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Even in severe cases, non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical therapy. This is done to improve the overall tissue quality prior to surgery and also to help limit the areas requiring surgery.
Our Services
-
Periodontal Maintenance
Teeth cleanings are an effective procedure in keeping the oral cavity in proper health and halting the progression of gum disease.
-
Deep Cleaning
LEARN MORE >
The objective of these non-surgical procedures is to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and tartar, or calculus, which cause gingival inflammation and disease. -
Gum Grafting
When recession of the gingiva occurs, the body loses a natural defense against both bacterial penetration and trauma. When gum recession is a problem, gum reconstruction using grafting techniques is an option.
-
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth by providing a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
-
Bone Grafting
Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth can result in bone loss.
-
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery, sometimes referred to as pocket reduction surgery, refers to a number of different surgeries aimed at gaining access to the tooth roots to remove tartar and disease-causing bacteria.
-
Frenectomy
A frenum is a naturally occurring muscle attachment, normally seen between the front teeth (either upper or lower). It connects the inner aspect of the lip with the gum.
-
Gingivectomy
Gingivectomy is usually performed to improve the health of the gum tissue, prepare the mouth for a restorative procedure, or to correct a gummy smile.
-
Oral Cancer Exam
An oral cancer screening is preformed on all of our patients. If a abnormality is observed we can preform a biopsy to be read by an oral pathologist caught early, oral cancer can be effectively treated.
