A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. They receive an additional 2 to 3 years of specialized training beyond dental school.

 "Tooth in a Day" is an advanced procedure where a damaged or failing tooth is removed, a dental implant is placed, and a temporary functional crown is attached all in a single visit, allowing you to leave the office with a complete smile.

LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive laser treatment used to treat gum disease. It targets and vaporizes harmful bacteria and diseased tissue without cutting the gums or requiring stitches, promoting natural bone regeneration.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring patients feel little to no discomfort during surgery, with mild post-operative soreness easily managed by medication.

You may need a gum graft if receding gums have exposed your tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, root decay, or an increased risk of bone loss.

Regular cleanings focus on the teeth above the gumline for healthy mouths, while deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline to actively treat gum disease.

While advanced gum disease cannot be completely cured, it can be successfully arrested, managed, and controlled with proper professional treatment and daily home care.

Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike bridges, they don't require altering neighboring teeth, and unlike dentures, they anchor securely into the jawbone to stop bone loss.

Most people with missing teeth who are healthy enough for routine dental extraction or oral surgery are candidates, provided they have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.

Preventative care involves brushing twice a day, flossing daily to remove interdental plaque, using an antiseptic mouthwash, and maintaining regular checkups and professional cleanings.
