Services Offered

At our practice, we offer a wide range of services designed to meet the unique needs of our patients. These include:

• Laser Periodontics: We use the latest laser technology to treat periodontal disease with precision and accuracy. Our laser periodontics services include the LANAP protocol, which is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with periodontitis.
• Dental Implants: We specialize in the placement of dental implants, which are designed to restore the function and appearance of missing teeth. Our implant options include single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-supported dentures.
• Bone Regeneration: We use advanced techniques to regenerate lost bone tissue, which is often necessary for successful dental implant placement.
• Biostimulation: We offer biostimulation therapy, which is a non-surgical treatment option for patients with periodontal disease. This therapy stimulates the body's natural healing process, promoting tissue regeneration.
• Traditional Periodontics: While we specialize in laser periodontics, we also offer traditional periodontal treatments when necessary. These include scaling and root planing, pocket reduction, and gum grafting.

Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other systemic health problems. At our practice, we are committed to preventing and treating periodontal disease through education, early detection, and minimally invasive treatments.

Preventing Gum Disease

Preventing gum disease is essential for maintaining good oral health. This can be achieved through regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene habits, and a balanced diet. Our team is dedicated to educating our patients on the best practices for preventing gum disease.

Oral Hygiene

Good oral hygiene is critical for preventing gum disease and maintaining good oral health. We recommend that our patients brush twice a day, floss daily, and use an antimicrobial mouth rinse. During your dental checkups, we will provide you with personalized oral hygiene instructions based on your individual needs.

Oral Pathology

Oral pathology is the study of diseases and conditions that affect the mouth and surrounding tissues. At our practice, we use the latest diagnostic tools and techniques to identify and treat oral pathologies.

Mouth/Body Connection

The mouth-body connection refers to the link between oral health and overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to a variety of systemic health problems, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, osteoporosis, and respiratory diseases. At our practice, we are committed to educating our patients on the importance of maintaining good oral health for overall health.
