Periodontal Services

Periodontitis, commonly known as gum disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, bacterial pneumonia, and pregnancy complications.

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, periodontal disease is a serious bacterial infection. The toxins produced by these bacteria trigger a chronic inflammatory response, causing the body to attack its own supporting structures, ultimately leading to the destruction of the gums and bone that hold teeth in place.

We offer a comprehensive range of services to diagnose and treat periodontal disease. Because the early stages are often painless, many patients are unaware they have an infection. That’s why we go beyond basic screenings, we perform

thorough examinations for all patients during their first visit and at least once a year thereafter. Based on our findings, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to stop the progression of the disease and restore optimal oral health.

For more advanced cases, we provide both surgical and non-surgical solutions aimed at regenerating lost bone and gum tissue. Treatments may include scaling and root planing enhanced with chemotherapeutic agents, as well as advanced procedures such as bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration, all focused on preserving your natural smile and long-term health.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a common procedure that involves gently reshaping the gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of a tooth’s structure. It is typically recommended when a tooth requires restoration, but there is not enough visible tooth above the gum line to properly support a filling or crown. This situation may occur if a tooth has broken at the gum line or when decay beneath an existing filling or crown has compromised the remaining structure. By creating adequate space, crown lengthening allows for a more secure, long-lasting restoration and improved overall function.

Soft Tissue Grafts

Soft tissue grafting is a highly effective periodontal procedure used to treat gum recession, prevent further damage, and enhance the appearance of your smile.

When gums recede, tooth roots can become exposed, making teeth appear longer and often causing sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages.

Whether your concern is esthetic or related to discomfort, a soft tissue graft can restore the natural gum line, cover exposed roots, and protect against additional recession and bone loss. Gum recession can result from several factors, including aggressive brushing habits or periodontal disease, and this procedure helps rebuild and strengthen the affected areas.

Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration

Guided bone and tissue regeneration is an advanced surgical procedure designed to restore lost bone and gum tissue. Using specialized barrier membranes, this technique directs the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the growth of new bone and gingival tissue in areas where it has been lost.

This procedure is often recommended to improve function, enhance esthetics, and provide a stable foundation for restorative treatments such as dental implants or other prosthetic solutions, supporting both the health and longevity of your smile.
