Periodontics of Greater Boston offers a full spectrum of periodontal and dental implant services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to providing each patient with gentle, compassionate care and state-of-the-art treatment options. We specialize in:

• Conservative Treatment of Gum Disease: Dr. Ostrer is dedicated to finding the most conservative approach to treating gum disease, working towards long-term health and stability.
• Soft Tissue Reconstructive Plastic Surgery:

If gum recession has exposed sensitive roots or compromised the aesthetics of your smile, Dr. Ostrer can utilize advanced soft tissue grafting procedures to restore tissue volume, enhance gum health, and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

• Dental Implants: Dr. Ostrer is a highly skilled implant practitioner, providing both single and multiple implant solutions to restore missing teeth with confidence and predictability. From initial implant placement to final restoration, we guide you through every step of the process, providing detailed explanations and personalized care.
• Regeneration: When bone loss has occurred due to gum disease, tooth loss, or injury, Dr. Ostrer utilizes advanced regenerative techniques to stimulate new bone growth. These procedures seek to regenerate lost bone volume, creating a strong foundation for dental implants or natural teeth.
• Osseous Surgery: In cases of severe bone loss, Dr. Ostrer may recommend osseous surgery to reshape the jawbone and provide a more stable foundation for teeth or implants.
• Non-Surgical Treatment Options: We offer a range of non-surgical periodontal therapies to effectively address gingivitis and periodontitis, aiming to halt disease progression and promote healing.
• Emdogain, Atridox, and Grafts: We utilize cutting-edge materials and techniques, including Emdogain, Atridox, and various grafting procedures, to enhance healing, promote tissue regeneration, and address specific periodontal concerns.

• Gum Grafts:

Dr. Ostrer skillfully performs gum grafts to cover exposed root surfaces, protect teeth from further recession, and enhance the aesthetics of your smile.

• Bone Grafts: In cases where bone loss has occurred, bone grafts are utilized to restore lost volume and create a strong foundation for dental implants.

• Sinus Floor Elevation: To create adequate bone height for dental implants in the upper jaw, we may perform sinus floor elevation procedures to strategically augment the sinus cavity.

• Alloderm:

We utilize Alloderm, a biocompatible graft material derived from human donor tissue, to promote tissue regeneration and enhance healing.

After any periodontal procedure, Dr. Ostrer and her team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize discomfort.
