Services We Offer

We provide a comprehensive suite of periodontal services, including:

• Dental Exams & Cleanings:

Regular dental exams and cleanings are the cornerstone of good oral health. Our hygienists perform thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar build-up, as well as provide valuable insights into your gum health.

• Gum Disease Treatment: We offer a wide range of treatments to effectively address gum disease at various stages, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Our treatment plans are customized to your specific needs and may include scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, or surgical interventions.
• Gum Grafting: This procedure involves transplanting healthy gum tissue to cover exposed tooth roots, restoring the gumline and protecting the teeth from further damage.
• Pinhole Surgical Technique: This minimally invasive gum grafting procedure uses a tiny pinhole to reposition gum tissue, creating a more aesthetically pleasing gumline with minimal downtime.
• Dental Implants: We provide comprehensive implant services, from initial evaluation and placement to restoration. Dental implants are a durable and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring function and appearance.
