Dental Implants
- Tooth restoration that can last a lifetime with proper maintenance
- We perform extractions in the case of preexisting teeth
- Fewer complications than dentures or bridges
- Approximately a 6-month long process wherein a post made of an inert metal like titanium is surgically fixed into the jaw
- A series of visits following the procedure will prepare your implant site for a final crown
Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®)
- Addresses inflammatory tissue caused by disease-inducing bacteria that manifests in detached gum tissue and deep pocketing
- Premiere technology in treating periodontitis: https://www.lanap.com/lanap/
- Takes the place of traditional osseous surgery by more effectively promoting generalized regeneration at the affected site and is much less invasive
Connective Tissue Graft
- Gum recession can be mitigated by either supplanting with your own tissue or donor tissue from a tissue bank
- Prevents further bone loss and decay, aids in sensitivity
- The result is an aesthetically satisfactory and overall healthier oral hygiene and dental disposition
- We also offer The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique that is relatively less invasive: https://pinholesurgicaltechnique.com/
Crown Lengthening
- The natural crown is exposed further by removing bone or tissue
- Sometimes performed in conjunction with orthodontia for aesthetic reasons
- For instance, a broken tooth may be saved if enough tooth structure remains by reshaping the bone and tissue in order to properly fit a new restorative crown

- Cone Beam CT Scan- i-CAT® scan sent to specialized dental radiologists to examine any relevant oral and craniofacial pathologies
- Frenectomy- Frenulum flaps of the jaws are cut and reattached to release gum tissue tension

- Bone and Soft Tissue Ridge Augmentation- Addition of bone or tissue to support implants and reform the natural upper/lower ridges
- Scaling and Root Planing- Deeper cleaning to address less severe cases of periodontal disease
