Dental Implants
Gum Grafting
The Soft Tissue Graft is used to cover unattractive tooth roots, reduce gum recession, and protect the roots from decay. Most importantly this procedure regrows the gum and bone to prevent tooth loss.
Aesthetic Gum Lift
Gingivectomy is the surgical removal of the gingiva, commonly known as gum tissue. A gingivectomy is used to treat conditions such as gingivitis, but it can also be used for cosmetic reasons. For example, if a patient wants to make changes to their smile, a gingivectomy can remove additional or surplus gum tissue.
Tooth Socket Graft
Bone grafts can integrate with existing bone and strengthen the underlying structures of the sinus and jaw, providing a solid foundation for dental implants. Bone grafts can also trigger bone regrowth, allowing the patient’s own biological systems to regrow lost bone.
Ridge Augmentation
A ridge augmentation is a common procedure often performed in the area of a missing tooth or teeth to help recreate the natural contour of the gums and jaw that may have been lost due to bone loss as a result of a tooth extraction, or for another reason.
Oral Hygiene
Successful treatment of gum disease(gingivitis) and mild periodontal disease can often be accomplished non-surgically with a periodontal “deep cleaning” that removes plaque and tartar (calculus) below the gumline.
Sinus Lift
Dental implants are a successful solution for damaged and/or missing teeth for the majority of patients. However, a small minority of people are refused candidacy because their sinuses are located too close to the jaw, or because they have insufficient bone height in the upper jaw, meaning that dental implants cannot be placed. A sinus lift can rectify these problems and make you a suitable candidate for the dental implants that will transform the look and function of your teeth.
All-On-4 Implants
If you have lost one or two teeth in your mouth, single implants can be a viable possibility. However, if you have lost multiple teeth this may no longer option. Instead, you may want to consider All-On-4 dental implants. Using this treatment, our team can restore your mouth and ensure that you will be able to regain your quality of life.
