Our Featured Periodontal Treatments
Are you in the early stages of gum disease? Scaling and root planing is a nonsurgical treatment that is recommended when gum disease is diagnosed.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning process, performed by our periodontist, that clears away plaque and tartar, smoothing the surfaces of your teeth.
With scaling and root planing, your gum tissues are encouraged to reattach to your teeth and it helps to reduce periodontal pocket depths.
Do you have moderate or advanced periodontal disease?
Was scaling and root planing un-successful in treating your periodontal disease?
Osseous surgery -also known as flap surgery- could be the solution for you!
Our periodontist uses osseous surgery to reduce or eliminate periodontal pocketing by lifting the gum away from the tooth and the underlying bone. The surface of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned and smoothed, giving you a healthy and uninfected smile.
Do you have severe gum disease that is not responding well to other gum disease treatments? A gingivectomy could be the right solution for you!
A gingivectomy is a treatment, performed by a periodontist, used to remove and reshape loose, diseased gum tissue, and it reduces the depth of pockets between the teeth and gums.
With gingivectomy treatments, you can improve your oral and overall health to effectively treat and control gum disease.
Have you noticed your gums receding? Do you have tooth sensitivity when you have hot and cold foods and drinks? Gum grafting can treat your receding gums!
Gum grafting is a gum disease treatment that takes healthy tissues from other areas of your mouth or body and is then applied to your gums.
WIth a gum grafting procedure, our periodontist can restore your smile with aesthetically pleasing teeth and restored oral health.

Our board-certified periodontist can fix your gummy smile with crown lengthening and gingivectomy procedures. A crown lengthening procedure is where excess gum and bone tissues are removed. A gingivectomy removes and reshapes gum tissue and reduces pocket depth between the teeth and gums.
Anyone who has one or more missing or damaged teeth should get their dental implants placed by our experienced periodontist. With dental implants, you do not need to worry about your dental prosthesis being unstable, needing to rely on adjacent teeth for support, or about your jawbone deteriorating.
