Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants are surgical components that interface with the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures for patients missing one or more teeth. Our periodontists utilize advanced planning technology to ensure precise placement and long-term stability of each implant restoration. Patients regain full chewing function and natural aesthetics with a permanent solution tailored to their anatomy.
LANAP Laser Periodontal Care
LANAP laser therapy treats periodontal disease by selectively removing infected gum tissue while preserving healthy structures for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. This minimally invasive protocol reduces pocket depth and promotes bone regeneration without traditional scalpel surgery. Patients experience faster healing, less discomfort, and predictable clinical outcomes with this FDA-cleared laser technology.
Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique
The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique corrects gum recession through a small entry point without grafts or sutures for patients with receding gums. Our periodontists gently reposition existing gum tissue to cover exposed roots, enhancing aesthetics and reducing sensitivity. This scalpel-free method offers immediate cosmetic improvement and minimal post-operative downtime compared to traditional grafting.
Gingival Grafting
Gingival grafting procedures harvest tissue from the palate or donor sources to augment thin or receded gums for patients requiring soft tissue reinforcement. We perform both connective-tissue and free gingival grafts tailored to the specific defect and aesthetic demands. This treatment stabilizes the gum line, protects root surfaces, and improves smile symmetry with predictable healing.
Periodontal Care
Comprehensive periodontal care includes thorough evaluation, non-surgical scaling, and ongoing maintenance to manage gum disease for patients at all stages of periodontal health. Our hygienists and periodontists collaborate to deliver personalized therapy plans that halt disease progression and preserve natural dentition. Regular monitoring and patient education ensure long-term stability and systemic health benefits.
