Dental Examination
If you’ve ever heard your dentist or dental hygienist calling out numbers and noting them in your dental chart at your regular checkup, then you’ve experienced “pocket probing” or “charting.” As part of a routine checkup, the dentist completes a periodontal examination to measure the depth of the spaces (“pockets”) between your teeth and gums, and checks for bleeding. Detection of bleeding and pockets of four or more millimeters in depth are one way for your dentist to identify gingivitis and periodontitis.

X-rays

Teeth Cleaning

Fillings
Veneers
If you have a “gummy” smile or your teeth appear short, you can improve your smile by a minor procedure known as “crown-lengthening.” This procedure removes excess gum and if needed, bone to expose more tooth structure. After your gums heal, your dentist would then place crowns or veneers over the newly exposed teeth to create your new smile.
Crowns
Our office and your general office work very close together. If crowns, fillings, etc. are needed, your general dentist will provide them. Regular visits to your dentist are an important part of periodontal maintenance. An alternating cleaning schedule between our office and your general dentist may be recommended.
Bridges

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Deep Cleaning

Dentures

Dental Implants
Implants offer benefits over traditional bridges. With implants, there’s no need to grind down healthy adjacent teeth. The implant acts as a root to help prevent deterioration and delivers long-lasting beautiful teeth.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery may be required in areas of deep pockets (over 5mm) because it is difficult to adequately access the area under gum to remove plaque and calculus from the root surface. When pockets are deep and bone has been destroyed, flap surgery provides the periodontist access to the roots of the teeth in order to remove plaque, calculus and any diseased tissue. In this technique, the gum is lifted away and it is then sutured (stitched) back into place or into a new position that will be easier to keep clean.
Tooth Extractions
Ridge Augmentation
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a regenerative procedure that replaces the bone supporting your teeth that has been destroyed. During this procedure the periodontist...
