Oral Implantology

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed in the place of a missing tooth. It is made of sterile solid titanium, which is inserted into the jawbone to replace natural tooth roots. Dental implants provide a solid, stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. We replace missing teeth while preserving the condition of healthy adjacent teeth, and stimulate bone and gum tissue to provide an attractive, esthetic smile.

We strive to educate our patients about all the treatment options available to them. Our team members take the time to listen to any concerns our patients may have during their initial consultations.

Aesthetic and Functional Crown Lengthening.

Periodontal plastic surgery seeks to solve different problems to improve a person’s smile. Aesthetic crown lengthening could be the solution for you if you feel your teeth appear too short due to excess gum tissue (sometimes called a “gummy smile”) or an uneven gummy smile With comprehensive planning, excess gum tissue is surgically removed. The gum line will be sculpted to give your new smile the proper appearance. The result of this simple and effective periodontal procedure is a transformation of your smile.

Crown lengthening is a procedure designed to reshape the gums at the base of the desired tooth or teeth. Just as the name sounds, the purpose is to expose additional tooth surface to improve the appearance of your smile.

There are teeth that require crown lengthening as part of the restorative procedure. The most common periodontal problem that requires crown lengthening is severe tooth decay, where the decay extends below the gum line. Another common problem is when a tooth fractures and breaks below the existing gum line.

Tunnel technique

The tunnel technique is a minimally invasive suturing and periodontal surgery technique that uses donated human tissue (AlloDerm) to correct gum recession. Using specially designed microsurgical instruments, a small tunnel is created around the teeth with gum recession. Once the tunnel is completed, the graft is inserted into the tunnel and then stabilized with microsurgical sutures.

By using donated human tissue, it is not necessary to remove any tissue from the mouth. This microsurgical technique results in minimal pain and swelling in most cases with very little postoperative discomfort.

Treatment of Gingivitis and Periodontitis

Gingivitis is a reversible gum disease that is usually recognized by the appearance of red, swollen gums. It can be easily treated with a thorough dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

Periodontal disease is an oral disease that develops primarily from lack of proper brushing and flossing, often resulting in gum recession, bone loss and subsequent tooth loss. Early signs that you may have periodontal disease include redness of the gums, bleeding gums during flossing or brushing, and chronic bad breath.

Treatment of gum disease depends on the type and stage of the disease.

If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis. This is a more advanced stage of gum disease that affects the underlying bone. The most common treatment is scaling and root planing. It includes cleaning the teeth above and below the gum line and the use of ultrasonic instruments and hand instruments. It is a conservative treatment that does not require surgery. Advanced cases of periodontal disease may require gum surgery if the tissue cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment.
