Dental Examination
An oral exam is routinely performed by the dentist during the course of an initial comprehensive exam and regular check-ups. An oral cancer exam refers to the identification and management of diseases pertaining to the maxillofacial and oral regions.
X-rays
Digital radiography (digital X-ray) is the latest technology used to take dental X-rays. This technique uses an electronic sensor (instead of X-ray film) that captures and stores the digital image on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged, helping the dentist and dental hygienist detect problems more easily. Digital X-rays reduce radiation 80-90% compared to the already low exposure of traditional dental X-rays.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
Pocket irrigation, which is also known as oral irrigation, is a versatile dental treatment used for several different preventative purposes. Pocket irrigation may be performed as part of professional dental cleaning, or at home with a specially modified oral irrigator.
Fluoride Treatment
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons...
Dental Sealants
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and x-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that help protect the teeth.

Fillings
Crowns
Crown lengthening is generally performed to improve the health of the gum tissue or to prepare the mouth for restorative or cosmetic procedures. In addition, crown lengthening procedures can also be used to correct a “gummy” smile, where teeth are covered with excess gum tissue. Crown lengthening exposes more of the natural tooth by reshaping or recontouring bone and gum tissue. This treatment can be performed on a single tooth, many teeth, or the entire gum line, exposing an aesthetically pleasing smile.
Bridges
All of these considerations can and should be discussed with your periodontist at an initial consultation appointment. In most cases, the overall cost of replacing one single tooth with a dental implant is almost the same as replacing it with a traditional fixed bridge.

Root Canal Treatment

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Gingivoplasty (soft tissue recontouring) – As gums recede due to periodontitis, the teeth may appear longer; causing a “toothy” smile. The periodontist can remove tissues or straighten the gum line to make the teeth look more even.
Periodontal Surgery
If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean. Your dentist may also recommend that you see a periodontist (specialist of the gums and supporting bone).
Deep Cleaning
The dentist is able to conduct deep cleaning treatments such as scaling and root planing to remove hardened calculus (tartar) deposits from the gum pockets. An antibiotic may be prescribed to ensure that the bacterium is completely destroyed, and the periodontal infection does not spread. In most cases, periodontal disease can be prevented with regular cleanings and proper home care.

Dentures
When you have missing teeth, either due to natural reasons (such as the tooth never formed) or due to having them extracted for various reasons, it is likely you are looking for ways to replace your teeth. For many years, dentures, either full or partial, have been the go-to solution as they often closely resemble natural teeth. Bridges are also commonly used as they can easily integrate into places in your mouth where you may be missing just one tooth. Like dentures, bridges often closely resemble natural teeth. However, bridges and dentures have certain disadvantages, which often cause dental patients in need of replacement teeth to look for other alternatives.
Overdentures
For patients requiring more extensive dental restorations, Dr. Ficca also offers all-on-four overdentures. These implant-supported dentures can be removable or fixed and will give patients the look and feel of natural teeth without diet limitations or fear of denture plates slipping.

Dental Implants
A periodontist is a specialist that has completed both dental school and years of additional training in diseases that affect the gums, tooth-supporting bone, and surrounding tissue. Periodontists focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing these diseases. They are also skilled in cosmetic gum procedures, and dental implant placement, implant maintenance, and repair of dental implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Oral Surgery – If the patient has cysts or abnormal non-cancerous growths, the dentist may decide to completely remove them. This can improve comfort levels, alleviate breathing problems, and make speech substantially easier depending on the location of the cyst.
Flap Surgery
Pocket elimination surgery – Pocket elimination surgery (also known as flap surgery) is a surgical treatment that can be performed to reduce the pocket size between the teeth and gums. Surgery on the jawbone is another option that serves to eliminate indentations in the bone which foster the colonization of bacteria.
Osseous Surgery
Pocket reduction surgery (also known as gingivectomy, osseous surgery and flap surgery) is a collective term for a series of several different surgeries aimed at gaining access to the roots of the teeth in order to remove bacteria and tartar (calculus).
Tooth Extractions
If you are experiencing extreme sensitivity or are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, you may be required to have a tooth extracted. With a simple extraction, the dentist can safely remove the affected tooth without the need for major surgery.
Ridge Augmentation
Now, imagine a different situation: you have a tooth extracted, wait several years, and experience significant bone loss around the missing tooth. A procedure to replace this missing bone — a ridge augmentation or sinus augmentation– will cost about $2,450. You will also have waited much longer to begin the restoration process.
Bone Grafting
Dr. Ficca’s approach to bone grafting is informed by his long experience and careful study of the treatment. He only uses regeneration techniques and materials that have a high rate of success. As a result, you can expect durable and predictable results and a shorter recovery.

Orthodontics
Your gum tissue may be too thin to protect your teeth during orthodontic tooth movement. Gum grafting builds up stronger gum in certain areas of your mouth before adjusting the position of your teeth. Dr. Ficca can coordinate with your orthodontist to achieve this goal.
