Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium posts fused with jawbone. This treatment restores chewing function, preserves facial structure, and offers natural-looking results. Ideal candidates regain confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling comfortably.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Comprehensive management of gum disease includes scaling, root planing, and surgical interventions. Our approach eliminates infection, prevents tooth loss, and addresses systemic health risks associated with periodontal bacteria through personalized care plans.
Bone Grafting
Bone regeneration procedures restore jawbone volume to support dental implants. Using advanced grafting materials, we rebuild deficient areas caused by periodontal disease or tooth loss, enabling successful implant placement and long-term stability.
Advanced Imaging
Cone beam CT scans provide precise 3D images for accurate treatment planning. This technology enables detailed evaluation of bone structure, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy to ensure safe implant placement and complex periodontal procedures.
Crown Lengthening
This procedure adjusts gum and bone levels to expose more tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes. Crown lengthening improves access for dental restorations and enhances smile aesthetics through precise tissue sculpting.

Dr. Gross is a personable periodontist who does excellent work. Tooth replacement isn't fun, but Dr. Gross and his staff make the process comfortable and such that it won't need to be redone in the future.

Report
I would not recommend Dr. Gross for anyone who has fears of dental work. My anxiety regarding any dental work has gone through the roof from being a patient of his. I felt like I was belittled and talked-down to throughout the time I saw him and never got full instructions or concrete steps that were needed to remedy the problem I was seeing him for. I will not return, nor recommend this practice.
