Dental Examination
Your cosmetic doctor can perform a comprehensive dental exam to determine if you are a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
Benign conditions of the oral cavity can often mimic precancerous or cancerous lesions. Oral cancer screenings should be performed at least once per year, and more often if you are at an elevated risk of developing oral cancer. Your doctor may perform a number of tests or exams to determine the cause of any symptoms that you are experiencing and to diagnose the disease. Typically, a visual screening is first conducted to identify any abnormal areas. Intraoral pictures are often taken to help document the appearance of the lesion on that specific date. A biopsy or tissue removal is usually the best way to determine a diagnosis, as the sample is sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis.

Teeth Cleaning

Veneers
Condition of your teeth: Any cavities, decay, cracks, root canal issues, missing teeth, loose teeth, and short or long teeth will need to be addressed with procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants, inlays, onlays, or even veneers. You may be referred to other specialists for some of these procedures.
Crowns
Functional crown lengthening is needed in order to perform cosmetic or restorative procedures if a tooth is too far decayed, broken below the gumline, or has insufficient structure for restoration. In cases like this, the doctor will reshape the gums and supporting bone to allow for adequate room to place a high quality restoration. Contact Us Today
Bridges
When a fixed bridge is placed, the bone under the pontic, or middle, portion of the bridge where the tooth has been lost has a tendency to sink and can affect the overall facial structure. Guided tissue regeneration can be used to repair the esthetics of the bone under the bridge, adding support for the facial structures to remain in attractive form.

Root Canal Treatment

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
A gingivectomy is usually performed when a patient has severe periodontal or gum disease that has not responded well to scaling and root planing or other periodontal procedures and is a procedure that is typically provided by a doctor. It is important to your overall health to effectively treat and control gum disease. Gingivectomies are performed to remove and reshape loose, diseased gum tissue, and to reduce the depth of pockets between the teeth and gums.
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal issues: If there is any indication of gum disease, you might need to visit a periodontist for gum disease treatment. If your gums are not in good health, a non-surgical scaling and root planing procedure or more intensive treatments such as periodontal surgery may be necessary. Your team of oral professionals will need to prepare your teeth and gums for the reconstruction phases.
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Periodontal or gum disease causes bone loss around teeth, which can increase the chances for tooth loss. Once a tooth has been lost, the supporting jaw bone has a tendency to disappear over time. This may make wearing dentures uncomfortable, and insufficient bone can render placing dental implants impossible.

Dental Implants
Dr. Marcia Mbadu is a highly skilled Periodontist who completed her dental training in her home country, the DR. of Congo where she obtained the degree of Doctor of Dental Medicine. She worked as a general dentist in private practice where she developed her passion for Periodontics, then was offered the opportunity to relocate to the USA, where she decided to pursue her interests in Periodontics and research. She first completed 1 year of internship in Periodontics, then worked for 2 years as a research fellow where she conducted multiple projects such as “The Effect of Different Antidepressant Classes on Dental Implant Failure” at the University of Florida/ Gainesville. Furthermore, to better strengthen her clinical skills, she also completed 3 years of residency and earned a Degree of Master’s in Dental Sciences with a concentration in Periodontics.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Piezosurgery is a recently developed system for cutting bone without damaging soft tissue using ultrasonic micro-vibrations. Developed for use in Oral Surgery, Implantology, and Periodontics, this innovative technology allows doctors to perform procedures that were not previously possible. Contact Us Today
Jaw Surgery
Flap Surgery
Osseous surgery, or flap surgery, is usually performed when periodontal pockets around a tooth (or teeth) have not responded to other treatments. Also known as pocket depth reduction, this procedure is performed in order to create a clean environment around the tooth so that it can be retained rather than lost. The goal of osseous surgery is to reduce or eliminate periodontal pocketing. Osseous surgery is generally recommended after other treatments have been explored and attempted, and is usually performed when pocket depths have worsened over time or have not responded to other therapies. Contact Us Today
Gum Surgery
In the past, when patients needed gum surgery to treat periodontal disease, they had only one option. This option was a surgical procedure that took time to heal, was not comfortable in some cases, and required sutures.
Osseous Surgery
LANAP® is a form of minimally invasive laser dentistry that uses laser technology to treat gum disease without the need for scalpels, incisions, or sutures. LANAP gently eliminates bacteria around the gums and teeth, cleaning the area so that healthy gums can reattach to the teeth. This treatment helps halt the progression of gum disease with less discomfort and downtime for the patient. Healing time after treatment is much faster and less painful that traditional osseous surgery.
Tooth Extractions
Complete healing does not fully occur for a few weeks to even a few months after tooth extraction. However, after about two weeks, your mouth will be reasonably comfortable. Contact Us Today
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation is a common procedure performed to help recreate the natural contour of the gums. Often, after a tooth is removed, the bone in the jaw will begin to deteriorate and recede. The height and width of the socket, which was supported by the tooth, will begin to shrink after the tooth is removed. Many patients will eventually develop an indentation in the gums where the tooth used to be as a result of tooth and bone loss.
Bone Grafting
Recently the FDA approved the use of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP-2) in bone grafting procedures. BMP-2 is a genetically made protein that has the ability to grow bone from the patient’s own cells for bone grafting. Contact Us Today
