Our Services

Management of Periodontal Diseases
Did you know that 75% of tooth loss is due to periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is the 6th most prevalent chronic disease in the world.

Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implants are artificial roots used to replace missing teeth. Many patients may be suitable candidates, depending on clinical assessment.

Soft Tissue Grafting
Sometimes, our gum tissue can break down and thin in a process known as recession. The process of soft tissue grafting transplants gum tissue for reinforcement.

Oral Pathology/Biopsy
The tissues of our oral cavity can morph from normal to abnormal. Any abnormal areas should be assessed and monitored.

Crown Lengthening
The crown is the portion of tooth that can be seen above the gum line. In some instances, the tissues around the crown must be altered for aesthetic or conventional purposes.

Frenectomy
The frenum is the muscle that attaches the lips to the gums and tongue to the floor of the mouth. Sometimes, however, the attachment is too strong. A frenectomy effectively loosens this tight attachment for normal speech, smiles, and eating.

AI-Powered Imaging CBCT Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a 3D digital x-ray. CBCTs improve imaging, treatment planning, and allow for a virtual surgery.

Therapeutic Sedation
Dental anxiety is common among adults. When appropriate, our team offers conscious sedation to help patients feel more comfortable during treatment.
