Periodontal Specialists

Dental Examination
It is important to note that there are several risk factors for periodontitis such as age, stress, family history, smoking and certain systemic diseases, to name a few. Although gums that bleed are a sign of periodontal disease, sometimes there is actually no bleeding at all. Periodontal disease rarely causes pain until the later stages of the disease. For these reasons, it is extremely important to have a complete periodontal examination on a yearly basis by your dentist or periodontist.

There are two different situations that crown lengthening would be beneficial. Functional Crown Lengthening and Esthetic Crown Lengthening

Periodontal Surgery
You have completed a very important phase of your periodontal treatment and will now begin the healing process. Fortunately, periodontal surgery today has few complications and is usually uneventful. The following instructions are intended to aid in your healing and to keep you comfortable.
Deep Cleaning
For some patients, the early stages of periodontal disease may be treated with a procedure called Scaling and Root Planning. The first step of this procedure is accomplished by placing a fine ultrasonic tip between the tooth and tissue, in the periodontal pocket, to remove plaque, calculus and lower the numbers of bacteria. This is followed by the use of specifically shaped instruments designed to clean the root and remove any remaining bacteria. A smooth clean root surface allows the tissue to reattach. In about 4 weeks, periodontal pockets may be reduced or eliminated when the tissue reattaches and the swelling is reduced. With good oral health care techniques and shallow periodontal pockets, patients can, in many cases, maintain these areas.

Dentures
This treatment can help the patient regain the ability to eat virtually all foods and smile confidently, knowing the denture is secured snugly in the mouth. No more worries about dentures falling out while speaking or at family events!

Dental Implants
At Periodontal Specialists, we are always exploring and evaluating technological advances in dentistry that would offer a better clinical experience for our patients with their periodontitis treatment. In March of 2015, we incorporated the Periolase, as another option to treat periodontal disease. The Periolase is an effective and more comfortable means of regaining periodontal health for our patients with considerably less post-operative issues. Recently we have added a Conebeam CT, a 3-D imaging system, that will enhance our diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities for the placement of dental implants. At Periodontal Specialists, we believe the incorporation of new and proven technology is for the betterment of our patients and improves the quality of their lives.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
While I wasnâ€™t excited for the gum surgery itself, everything about the experience from the initial evaluation to the procedure itself went smoothly and efficiently. Communication was top notch and everyone was kind, professional, thoughtful, and highly skilled.
Tooth Extractions
Our philosophy to prevent bone shrinkage is to place a bone graft at the time of tooth extraction to preserve the jawbone as much as possible.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge Augmentation â€“ This bone graft is done when a tooth is already missing, and the jawbone has shrunk, and thereâ€™s not enough bone to fully support an implant.
Bone Grafting
Dental implants are a teamwork effort between our periodontist (a specialist in the surgical aspect of a dental implant like tooth removal, bone grafting, and placement of the implant itself) â€“ and your general dentist (an expert in the fabrication of the crown/tooth aspect of your implant and ensuring balance of the bite).

Orthodontics
The laser is also well suited for several soft tissue procedures. These include, but are not limited to, some esthetic crown lengthening procedures, tissue contouring after orthodontics, frenectomies, inflammatory overgrowth of tissue due to medications or hormones and the treatment of recurrent canker sores and â€œcold soresâ€ .
