OUR PERIODONTAL PROCEDURES

The primary goal in periodontal therapy, and dentistry in general, is to provide the patient with a healthy, disease free, functioning and esthetic dentition. We provide a range of services in order to help meet that goal.

LASER ASSISTED PERIODONTAL THERAPY

Allows us to do many periodontal procedures without pulling the gums away from the teeth while reducing post-operative bleeding and pain.

PERIODONTAL SURGERY

Used to see the root surface and bone support and to gain access to remove irritants and see if additional therapy would improve periodontium health.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement and can also be used to help give a partial denture or full denture better support.

ROOT PLANING

The removing of the irritants, including plaque and calculus/tartar, in the area under the gums known as the periodontal pocket.

SOFT TISSUE GRAFTING

The transfer of gum tissue from one area of the mouth to another to build up the soft tissue in an area where soft tissue is lacking.

CROWN LENGTHENING

The repositioning of the supporting structures of the tooth/teeth to expose a problem below the gum line and/or to make a longer appearing tooth/teeth.

TOUR OUR OFFICE

We strive to keep our facilities clean and comfortable for the duration of your visit. Our warm and open reception area invites you to pick up a magazine while waiting for your appointment to begin, while our procedure rooms include the option to view a selection of videos to help keep your mind at ease.

Orthodontic Therapy Inter-Relationship

One of the biggest frustrations in maintaining our periodontal patients is dealing with crowded teeth. Orthodontic therapy eliminates one of these important factors known to contribute to the cause of periodontal disease.
