Dental Implants & Gum Disease Treatment

LANAP Laser Therapy

LANAP laser therapy is a revolutionary new treatment for gum disease that can do so much more than removing inflammation and infection. One device holds seven different pulsations, each with its distinct tissue interaction- including painless removal of the source of your problems (inflammation) without ever cutting or sewing your gums! LANAP laser therapy may even help restore missing supporting tissues like gum and bone to give them more longevity.

Implants

Dental implants are an effective and practical way to replace missing teeth. The titanium post is implanted into your jawbone, which makes it strong enough for chewing. Dental bridges or dentures can be attached over the anchor, so you maintain a natural appearance while still having tooth function!

Dentists recommend dental implants to provide patients with more stability in their mouths when biting down on food. These replacements also look entirely like new teeth.

Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is a procedure to replace lost soft tissue as a result of recession. Healthy gum tissue from the palate or other sources may be used to augment areas where the gum has receded or become thin. This added tissue may lead to improved aesthetics and decreased tooth sensitivity.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is when gum and bone levels are adjusted to expose more teeth. When a patient has a “gummy” smile or short teeth, crown lengthening may be implemented to expose more of the crown of the tooth to make the teeth appear longer. Crown lengthening may also be used to expose tooth structure for restorative purposes such as for fillings or crowns.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is a procedure that gets rid of bacteria living in pockets. During the procedure, the gums are surgically pulled back from the teeth to allow for the removal of the bacteria and tartar. This procedure is sometimes done with additional bone grafting to help repair the damaged bone.

Bone Grafting

Bone Grafting is a way to repair the jawbone around your teeth. In addition, they can be used to build up bone so that dental implants can be placed in areas previously deemed too deteriorated for implant placement.

Ridge Augmentation

Ridge Augmentation Is utilized when patients need jawbone augmentation to increase the amount of bone for an implant. This procedure helps to recreate the natural contour of the jaw and gums, and provides an implant area with the support and structure it needs.

Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP)

Bone Morphogenic Protein InfuseTM Bone Graft contains a manufactured bone graft material that is approved for use in sinus augmentation and localized alveolar ridge augmentation. It provides an alternative to bone-harvest surgery, a secondary procedure that can be painful for some patients and lengthens the healing process. Infuse Bone Graft provides proven, predictable bone formation and is supported by extensive research and clinical results.

Tooth Extraction

A tooth extraction is a process that requires removing the entire tooth from your mouth. When a tooth is lost the supporting bone structure may be lost, a bone grafting procedure may be utilized to preserve as much native bone as possible for later implantation.

Sedation Dentistry

In today’s day and age, it seems like the health benefits of preventing periodontal disease is well known. However, that doesn’t mean anxiety or fear surrounding dental procedures has dissipated as a result. Our practice can help to make your treatment more pleasant with refined techniques and improved sedation methods!

We offer a range of sedation dentistry options, including Conscious Sedation/IV Sedation, Oral Ingestion of Sedation Medication, and Nitrous Oxide “Laughing Gas.” However, that doesn’t mean anxiety or fear surrounding dental procedures has been eliminated. We’re happy to consult with you about which option is best for you!
