Our periodontal services include:

Dental Crown Lengthening:

When gums are irritated, the gum tissue becomes inflamed and swollen, often causing an unattractive “gummy” smile. This can be corrected using a procedure called dental crown lengthening. This involves cutting into the gum to remove or reshape excess gum tissue.

Gingivectomy:

A gingivectomy is often used when scaling and root planing is not enough. This surgical procedure involves removing and reshaping any loose or diseased gum tissue. We can then access and remove pockets between the gums and teeth where bacteria can grow.

Laser Treatment:

These treatments utilize an advanced dental laser to access and remove swollen gum tissue from around the root of a tooth. It can also eliminate buildups and smooth out rough spots. The benefits of laser treatment include faster recovery times and less discomfort.

Pocket Reduction:

When periodontal pockets occur, it’s important to reduce and eliminate them. This procedure involves applying an antimicrobial liquid to the pockets to flush out the infection-causing bacteria and promote healing.

Bone Grafting:

Dental implants require strong and healthy bone tissue. When the bone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, this treatment can help to strengthen and grow new bone.
