Cook Periodontics And Dental Implants

Dental Examination
You will be given a complete oral and periodontal exam. Your periodontist will examine your gums, check to see if there is any gum line recession, assess how your teeth fit together when you bite and check your teeth to see if any are loose. Your periodontist will also take a small measuring instrument and place it between your teeth and gums to determine the depth of those spaces, known as periodontal pockets. This helps your periodontist assess the health of your gums. Radiographs (x-rays) may be used to show bone levels between teeth and check for bone loss and cavities.

Dental Examination

Your periodontist will also take a small measuring instrument and place it between your teeth and gums to determine the depth of those spaces, known as periodontal pockets.

X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
A list of medications you are currently taking (please note that you can fill out your patient registration and medical history form on our website.) If you have dental insurance, please bring any forms or insurance cards with you to the appointment. Please notify the office if you have a medical condition or concern prior to surgery (e.g. artificial heart valves or joints, heart murmurs requiring pre-medication, severe diabetes, or hypertension). We will complete an in-depth medical and dental health history and a thorough examination to measure for bone loss, loose teeth, bite, oral cancer screening, TMJ, and other signs of periodontal disease.

Teeth Cleaning

Fillings
Crowns
Although your teeth appear short, they may actually be the proper length. The teeth may be covered with too much gum tissue. We can correct this by performing the periodontal plastic surgery procedure, crown lengthening.
Bridges
Weak, vulnerable teeth. Dental bridges require grinding down the healthy, supporting teeth to make abutments, putting them at risk for damage.

Periodontal Surgery
The doctors of Cook periodontics use Emdogain® Gel in gum grafting procedures and during periodontal surgery to help stabilize teeth and help improve the outcome of these procedures. Emdogain® Gel works by regenerating the tissue structures that anchor teeth in place. Since it was introduced in 1996, Emdogain® Gel has be safely used in millions of procedures worldwide. Studies continue to show that Emdogain® Gel can increase the predictability of surgical procedures and reduce post-surgical discomfort.
Deep Cleaning
The initial stage of treatment is usually a thorough cleaning that may include scaling to remove plaque and tartar deposits beneath the gum line.

Dentures
Bone loss. Traditional tooth replacements cause bone loss which can make facial muscles sag or hollow and dentures to loosen, slip and not fit well.

Dental Implants
Teeth-in-a-Day, or Immediate Load Dental Implants, are the newest innovation in dental implant technology. In most dental implant cases, patients are required to have multiple office visits and must wait months before having a permanent implant placed. With immediate load implants, patients can walk in and out of the doctors office with a full set of teeth!

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Gum Surgery
Because the laser targets only the diseased tissue, the periodontist is able to treat the affected area without cutting or stitching. The result is a more comfortable patient experience. Patient recovery time is much easier and faster than with conventional gum surgery.
Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
The dentist may place a mixture of your bone marrow and some bone-grafting material around the bone graft to help speed healing. The incision is then closed with stitches.

Braces

Cosmetic Dentistry
These procedures are a predictable way to cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. If you are unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by Dr. Cook and cosmetic dentistry by your dentist.
General Dentistry
Existing Health Problems. Let your periodontist know of any medications and/or medical conditions you have. Having a dental implant procedure is usually OK if your condition allows for general dentistry work, but check with Dr. Cook first.
