Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be functionally effective and durable as dental implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
Crown lengthening is for patients who have discussed with their periodontist the fact that they have a gummy smile because their teeth look too short. Your teeth are actually the proper length, but are hidden by too much gum tissue. More than 30 million Americans are missing all of their teeth in one or both jaws.

Dental Implants
Report
Many of us do everything in our power to look after our teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and attending all your dental appointments are crucial for the long-term health and functionality of your teeth. However, sometimes all we can do is still not enough when it comes to our oral health. Some people are genetically pre-disposed to gum disease and tooth decay, substantially increasing the likelihood of their teeth becoming damaged beyond repair.
Periodontal Surgery
Report
Dr. Raymond van Gennip in Silver Spring, MD treats periodontal disease with a number of periodontal surgeries. Commonly known as gum disease, periodontal disease is an infection in the gum tissue around the teeth and the bone beneath the surface. It may occur around a single tooth, or multiple teeth.
Bone Grafting
Report
There are many reasons Dr. van Gennip in Silver Spring, MD might recommend a bone grafting treatment. Your jawbone is stimulated by your tooth roots; much like exercise stimulates your muscles. When you have missing teeth, your jawbone is no longer stimulated by the tooth roots, and it will shrink over time.
