Bone Grafting<\/h3>\n

With periodontal disease, bone around teeth is damaged. Often we can repair and regrow this bone. We use state of the art materials and techniques to accomplish this.<\/p>\n

Scaling & Root Planing<\/h3>\n

The initial treatment for periodontal disease is usually a deeper cleaning that may include scaling or root planning. You can liken hardened plaque (Calculus) as being similar to barnacles under a ship bottom. We need to remove this \"tartar\" because bacteria live on this and cause gingival inflammation and disease.<\/p>\n

Dental Implants<\/h3>\n

Dental implants are an option to replace a lost tooth. We place the root portion and your dentist can then build the tooth onto this. You now regain the ability to eat and smile with confidence.<\/p>\n

Gum Grafting<\/h3>\n

When the gums move up or recede, the body loses a natural defense against both bacterial penetration and trauma. To restore this and prevent further gum and bone loss we can rebuild this lost tissue.<\/p>\n

Osseous Surgery (Pocket Reduction)<\/h3>\n

This refers to a number of procedures aimed at gaining access to the tooth roots to remove tartar and disease-causing bacteria. The goal is to change the environment so as to be less bacteria friendly and allowing you, the patient and your hygienist better ability to clean.<\/p>\n

Crown Lengthening<\/h3>\n

This can be used to change a \"gummy smile.\" Sometimes a person has too much bone and gum tissue hiding much of the tooth. We can reshape and enhance this appearance.<\/p>\n

There are times when your dentist does not have enough solid tooth structure to grab onto for a crown. Crown lengthening can be used to expose more of the tooth for a healthy restoration.<\/p>\n
