Dental Implants

Click to Expand

Our doctors can replace missing or damaged teeth with an aesthetic, functional, and durable restoration. Same-day solutions are available for front teeth as well as for the full dental arch. We exclusively use the Straumann® system, which has one of the highest success rates available and a nearly 50-year track record.

Crown Lengthening

Click to Expand

Crown lengthening allows us to save an otherwise non-restorable tooth by lowering the foundation around the tooth so a crown can be placed. Our practice also offers esthetic crown lengthening, in which we revise “gummy” smiles to give patients a more balanced and cosmetic appearance.

Periodontal Disease

Click to Expand

As specialists, our periodontists are experts in treating periodontal disease. We have trained in a variety of techniques, including non-surgical, surgical, and laser-assisted approaches, to provide comfortable, effective care. Our practice works conservatively to save teeth whenever possible and to offer strong, natural-looking replacements when teeth are beyond repair.

Gingival Graft

Click to Expand

Gum grafting replaces tissue that has recessed to protect your teeth and tooth-supporting bone. Our specialists can use many different techniques to make treatment more comfortable and to shorten healing time, and we will consult with you beforehand to determine the best approach for your procedure.
