Services
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Our Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure uses PerioLase technology to regenerate periodontal tissues without traditional surgery. This minimally invasive treatment targets diseased gum tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting natural healing with reduced discomfort and faster recovery times compared to conventional methods. Patients benefit from improved gum attachment and reduced pocket depths through this FDA-approved protocol.
Bone Grafting
We perform autogenous and allograft bone grafting procedures to restore jawbone volume for dental implant placement. Using both patient-derived and cadaver bone materials, our technique creates stable foundations for restorative treatments while preventing further bone resorption. This procedure enables successful implant integration where bone loss previously limited treatment options.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Our aesthetic gum reshaping procedures correct uneven gum lines and excessive gingival display. Through precise tissue removal and grafting techniques, we create balanced smiles while addressing functional concerns like exposed root surfaces. This treatment improves both appearance and long-term periodontal health by reducing plaque accumulation areas.
Periodontal Maintenance
We provide specialized ongoing care for periodontal health maintenance following initial therapy. Our program includes deep cleanings, pocket monitoring, and personalized homecare instruction to prevent disease recurrence. Regular maintenance visits help preserve treatment results and protect against progressive bone loss and tooth mobility.
Arestin Treatment
Our localized antibiotic delivery system uses minocycline microspheres to combat periodontal infection. Applied directly into affected pockets after scaling and root planing, this sustained-release medication targets bacteria causing tissue destruction. Combined with mechanical cleaning, Arestin helps reduce pocket depths and improve overall periodontal health.

Questions
What causes periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease results from bacterial plaque accumulation that irritates gum tissue, leading to inflammation and bone loss if untreated.
How does LANAP differ from traditional surgery?
LANAP uses laser technology to remove diseased tissue with less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing compared to conventional scalpel methods.
Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most patients qualify for implants, but severe bone loss or certain medical conditions may require additional evaluation before treatment.
What payment options do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard for all treatment services.
Do you offer emergency appointments?
Yes, we prioritize emergency cases and offer same-day appointments for urgent periodontal concerns.
How can I prevent gum recession?
Proper brushing technique, regular professional cleanings, and addressing bite issues can help prevent progressive gum recession.
