Periodontal (gum) disease affects millions of adults in the US, and it is the leading cause of tooth loss for patients over the age of 35. Traditionally, gum disease is treated with more thorough cleanings and more frequent checkups. At Stephen H. Grossman, DMD Periodontics & Dental Implants in Acton, we offer patients advanced periodontal therapy using dental lasers to remove infection and promote healing.

If you have missing teeth or a tooth to be extracted, your dentist may suggest replacing it with an implant. This procedure does not require shaving down adjacent, healthy teeth like placing a bridge does, so it offers the advantage of treating a one-tooth problem with a one-tooth solution. An implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone, and it functions as a prosthetic tooth root.
