Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our practice offers comprehensive implant placement and restoration services using advanced 3D imaging technology. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure preservation through our implant treatments.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting procedures treat receding gums to protect tooth roots and improve smile aesthetics. We use minimally invasive techniques with natural tissue substitutes for faster healing. This treatment prevents further gum recession, reduces tooth sensitivity, and creates a healthier oral environment.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting restores jawbone volume to support dental implants or address bone loss from periodontal disease. Our practice employs synthetic bone substitutes and growth factors for successful tissue regeneration. This procedure enables implant placement where bone deficiency previously existed.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
The Pinhole Surgical Technique offers a minimally invasive solution for gum recession without traditional grafting. Small incisions allow gum tissue repositioning through specialized instruments. Patients experience faster recovery, less discomfort, and immediate aesthetic improvements compared to conventional methods.
Periodontal Maintenance
Customized periodontal maintenance programs prevent disease progression after initial treatment. Our deep cleaning protocols remove bacterial buildup below the gumline using ultrasonic instruments and antimicrobial therapies. Regular maintenance visits help preserve treatment results and overall oral health.

Great experience! Everyone in office is very friendly and as a new patient the onboarding process was very easy. I have really sensitive teeth, but Kristina was awesome and Dr. Courtney is the best. Highly recommended Mass Ave Perio!
