Services
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores receded gum tissue to protect tooth roots and improve aesthetics. This procedure treats sensitivity, prevents further recession, and enhances smile appearance. Our practice specializes in connective tissue and free gingival graft techniques.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. We use advanced materials to stimulate natural bone growth, creating a stable foundation for dental implants or restorative treatments.
Laser Therapy
Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) treats gum disease with minimal discomfort and faster healing. This FDA-approved method removes infected tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting regeneration without traditional surgery.
Periodontal Maintenance
Ongoing periodontal maintenance prevents disease progression after initial treatment. Regular cleanings and monitoring help maintain gum health, reduce systemic infection risks, and preserve dental implants or restorations.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening exposes more tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes. This procedure improves access for dental crowns, addresses 'gummy smiles,' and creates balanced proportions for enhanced aesthetics.
