Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with titanium posts integrated into the jawbone, topped with custom crowns. This solution preserves jawbone integrity and facial structure while enabling natural chewing and speaking. Our practice specializes in single implants, bridges, and denture stabilization without affecting adjacent teeth. Dr. Meyers leverages advanced 3D imaging to ensure precise placement for long-term functionality and aesthetics.
All-On-4
All-On-4 uses strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth, often with immediate temporary prosthetics post-surgery. This technique minimizes bone grafting needs and offers stable, permanent alternatives to traditional dentures. Dr. Meyers customizes treatment plans using 3D imaging to optimize fit and longevity for patients with extensive tooth loss.
Laser Gum Surgery
Laser technology removes inflamed gum tissue with precision, promoting faster healing and reduced discomfort. This anesthesia-free approach smooths root surfaces to eliminate bacteria and regenerate gum-tooth connections. It complements non-surgical treatments like scaling while offering enhanced comfort for patients with periodontal disease.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting addresses recession using traditional and Pinhole Surgical Techniques to reposition tissue through tiny incisions. This restores gum lines, reduces sensitivity, and prevents further bone loss. The practice prioritizes patient comfort with minimally invasive methods that shorten recovery times compared to conventional grafting procedures.
Sedation Dentistry
Oral sedation helps patients with dental phobias undergo treatments comfortably. This method induces a relaxed state while maintaining consciousness, allowing complex procedures to be completed efficiently. The team tailors sedation levels to individual needs, ensuring safety and comfort during periodontal and implant surgeries.
