Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with titanium posts that integrate with the jawbone, offering stability and natural function. Ideal for patients with periodontal disease or tooth loss, implants preserve bone structure and prevent gum recession. Our practice ensures long-term success through precise placement and biocompatible materials.
Periodontal Maintenance
Regular periodontal maintenance prevents disease recurrence through cleanings, scaling, and root planing. We monitor pocket depths, remove plaque/calculus, and review oral hygiene routines. This therapy sustains treatment success and supports overall dental health when combined with proper home care.
Bone Regeneration
Bone regeneration rebuilds jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. Using advanced grafting techniques, we restore bone volume to support dental implants or stabilize natural teeth. This process promotes long-term oral function and aesthetic outcomes.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting treats recession by reinforcing thinning tissue with donor or autogenous grafts. This procedure protects roots, reduces sensitivity, and improves smile aesthetics. Our approach ensures natural-looking results and enhanced periodontal stability.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
Pocket reduction surgery eliminates deep gum pockets caused by periodontitis. By cleaning infected tissue and reshaping bone, we reduce bacterial buildup and halt disease progression. This treatment preserves teeth and supports systemic health.

Dr. Goyal, I want to thank you for the exceptional results of the incisor implant you did for me. The first time I saw my smile I was amazed that something subtle had changed. I believe that the angle you chose for the implant raises my lip just the tiniest bit higher than before, making for a warmer smile. I wasn't expecting an aesthetic improvement at this late stage and am delighted. With appreciation,

I am so grateful to Dr Goyal and the team. I could have lost a tooth or even 2 if not for the care the team provided. Every appointment has been a great experience, always informative and no stress. I highly recommend Summit Periodontics.

Dr Goyal did a wonderful job explaining my procedure, and put me at ease- as well, my surgery was a complete success! It also takes good front desk staff to make sure my benefits are accepted easily, and follow ups are scheduled promptly, and Meredith is very clear and helpful in doing so. Thank you!

I had 2 implants made at Dr Goyle's practice and I couldn't be happier about the process and the result.
Starting with very thorough walk through of the stages and transparent pricing. We planned all phases around my frequent travels and I didn't really feel that I need to change my schedules too much. Given it took about 8 months from the extraction until ready for crowns, I consider that quite an achievement. I highly recommend Dr Goyle and I will surely be back for any next job if needed.

Until I met Dr. Goyal and her excellent staff the thought of the periodontist filled me with trepidation. She is a highly skilled professional with a lovely demeanor who works very hard to put even the most timid of patients at ease. Her office is very efficiently run by an excellent staff. I high recommend a trip to her office and I do travel an hour to get there!
