Periodontal Treatments
Full-spectrum care for periodontal health, regeneration, and long-term function.
Gum Disease Treatment
From early intervention to advanced periodontal therapy, our specialists diagnose and treat every stage of gum disease with proven, evidence-based protocols.
Scaling & Root Planing
Often the first step in treating gum disease. When pockets of bacteria form around teeth and gums, plaque builds and intervention is needed.
Osseous Surgery
Necessary when gum disease has advanced enough that the gums have receded from the teeth and it appears that the teeth and gums are no longer bonded.
Gum Grafting
When gums have receded or become misshapen due to gum disease, a gum graft restores healthy tissue coverage for one or several teeth.
LANAP Laser Treatment
A laser treatment around natural teeth to fight gum disease and eradicate infection, encouraging gums to reattach without surgery or stitches.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
One of the newest techniques in periodontics. Minimally invasive, fast, and effective for receding gums without traditional grafting.
Crown Lengthening
For patients unsatisfied with the ratio of their teeth and gums, crown lengthening improves the appearance of a gummy smile.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
When gum disease has caused loss of tissue and bone, regenerative treatments including grafting, proteins, and bioactive gels rebuild what was lost.
Periodontal Maintenance
Custom treatment programs designed to prevent further damage. If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, we can help stop its progress.
Dental Implants & Implantology
Implant treatment backed by specialty training, not general familiarity.
Many dentists offer implants. Far fewer bring the focused training of a periodontist. Our doctors have honed the skills necessary to make your surgery a success.
Traditional Dental Implants
Artificial tooth roots placed in your jawbone, given time to adhere to bone, after which a permanent crown is placed for a natural-looking result.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
For patients missing most or all teeth, All-on-4 provides a full-arch solution using just four strategically placed implants.
Implant Supported Dentures
Eliminate the discomfort and instability of traditional dentures with implant-anchored restorations that stay securely in place.
Advanced Technology
State-of-the-art diagnostics and treatment.
Our offices are equipped with the latest in periodontal technology, including CBCT 3D imaging for precise diagnostic planning, digital radiography for reduced radiation exposure, and advanced laser systems for minimally invasive procedures.
Every technological investment we make is in service of better outcomes, faster healing, and greater comfort for our patients.
