Our Periodontics Services

Comprehensive Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, affects millions of Americans and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our periodontists utilize advanced diagnostic tools and proven treatment methods to eliminate infection and restore gum health. We provide thorough treatment options that address both mild gingivitis and severe periodontitis.

Our gum disease treatment approaches include:

• Scaling and Root Planing – Deep cleaning procedures that remove bacterial buildup below the gumline, allowing gums to heal and reattach to tooth surfaces
• Antibiotic Therapy – Targeted medication delivery to eliminate stubborn bacterial infections and promote healing
• Laser Therapy – Minimally invasive laser treatment that removes diseased tissue while preserving healthy gum structure
• Periodontal Maintenance: Following scaling and root planing, specialized cleaning procedures are used to prevent gum disease recurrence.
• Surgical Periodontal Treatment – Advanced procedures for severe cases that require tissue regeneration and bone restoration

Gum Recession Treatment

Receding gums expose tooth roots, creating sensitivity and increasing the risk of decay. Our doctors offer multiple treatment options to restore your natural gumline and protect exposed roots from damage.

Treatment options for gum recession include:

• Traditional Gum Grafting – Surgical placement of healthy tissue to cover exposed roots and restore gum coverage
• Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique – Revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that repositions existing gum tissue without grafting
• Connective Tissue Grafts – Placement of donor tissue from the patient’s palate to rebuild receded areas
• Guided Tissue Regeneration – Advanced techniques that encourage natural gum and bone regrowth

Cosmetic Gum Treatment

A beautiful smile requires healthy, well-proportioned gums. Our cosmetic gum treatments address issues like excessive gum tissue, uneven gumlines, and “gummy smiles” to create the perfect frame for your teeth.

Our cosmetic periodontal services include:

• Gum Contouring – Precise removal of excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure
• Crown Lengthening – A surgical procedure that exposes more tooth surface for restorative treatments or aesthetic improvement
• Gumline Reshaping – Artistic recontouring to create symmetrical, attractive gum proportions
• Smile Design Integration – Coordination with restorative dentists to achieve comprehensive smile makeovers

Implant Dentistry Services

Dental Implant Placement

Dental implants represent the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering permanent solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our periodontists have placed thousands of implants using advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

Our implant services include:

• Single Tooth Implants – Individual titanium posts that support custom crowns for replacing one missing tooth
• Multiple Implant Placement – Strategic placement of several implants to support bridges or partial dentures
• Full Arch Restoration – Complete mouth rehabilitation using implants to support fixed bridges or dentures
• Immediate Load Implants – Same-day implant placement and temporary crown attachment for qualified candidates

All-on-4® New Teeth in One Day

Our revolutionary All-on-4® treatment provides a complete set of new teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants. This innovative approach allows most patients to receive their new teeth on the same day as implant placement.

Benefits of All-on-4® treatment include:

• Immediate Results – Walk out with functional teeth the same day as surgery in most cases
• Reduced Treatment Time – Complete the entire process in significantly less time than traditional implants
• Enhanced Stability – Fixed teeth that won’t slip or move like traditional dentures
• Improved Chewing Power – Restores up to 70% of natural chewing force
• Bone Preservation – Implants stimulate the jawbone to prevent further deterioration
• Cost-Effective Solution – Fewer implants required compared to traditional full-mouth reconstruction

Implant-Supported Dentures

Transform loose, uncomfortable dentures into stable, secure restorations with implant support. Our implant-supported dentures eliminate the frustrations of traditional dentures while providing superior comfort and function.

Types of implant-supported dentures we offer:

• Removable Implant Dentures – Dentures that snap securely onto implants but can be removed for cleaning
• Fixed Implant Bridges – Permanent restoration that’s screwed onto implants and cannot be removed by the patient
• Hybrid Dentures – A combination of denture and bridge technology for optimal function and aesthetics
• Mini Dental Implant Solutions – Less invasive options using smaller diameter implants for denture stabilization

Treatment for Implant Complications

When dental implants develop problems like peri-implantitis or loosening, our specialists can often save these investments through advanced treatment protocols and regenerative procedures.

Oral Surgery Services

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes, tooth removal becomes necessary to preserve overall oral health. Our oral surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to extract teeth with maximum comfort and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts

Adequate bone support is essential for successful dental implants and overall oral health. Our bone grafting procedures rebuild lost bone structure using advanced materials and techniques.

Additional Specialized Dental Services

Accelerated Orthodontics (PAOO)

Reduce orthodontic treatment time by up to 75% with our Periodontally Assisted Osteogenic Orthodontics procedure. This innovative treatment allows teeth to move more quickly and safely during braces or clear aligner therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need to see a periodontist? 

Your general dentist may refer you to a periodontist if you have signs of gum disease, like bleeding, swelling, or recession. Other indicators include loose teeth, persistent bad breath, or if you’re considering dental implants. Periodontists have specialized training to diagnose and treat complex gum and bone problems that general dentists typically refer out.

What is the difference between a general dentist and a periodontist? 

Periodontists complete an additional two to three years of specialized training after dental school, focusing exclusively on gum disease, bone problems, and dental implant placement. They have advanced surgical training and experience with complex cases that general dentists typically refer to specialists.

How soon can I eat normally after gum surgery? 

Most patients can return to a normal diet within one to two weeks after gum surgery, though this varies by procedure complexity. We’ll provide specific dietary guidelines and recommend soft foods initially to promote healing. Following post-operative instructions carefully helps accelerate recovery and improve outcomes.

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients? 

Yes, we provide various sedation options to help anxious patients feel comfortable during treatment. Options include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, depending on the procedure and patient needs. Our goal is to make every visit as relaxing and stress-free as possible.

Will insurance cover periodontal treatment? 

Most dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment, as it’s considered medically necessary care. Coverage varies by plan but typically includes a significant portion of treatment costs. Our team will verify your benefits and provide detailed cost estimates before beginning treatment.
