Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery addresses advanced gum disease by removing infected tissue and restoring oral health. Ideal for patients with deep pockets or bone loss, this procedure prevents tooth loss and promotes regeneration. Our approach combines precision and minimally invasive techniques to ensure lasting results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we offer durable replacements that mimic natural teeth. Our process includes personalized planning and advanced surgical techniques for optimal integration and comfort.
Laser LANAP Surgery
LANAP laser surgery treats periodontitis by targeting diseased tissue without incisions. This FDA-cleared method promotes bone regeneration and reduces recovery time. Patients benefit from less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional surgery, with long-term stability for gum health.
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation corrects receding gums through a minimally invasive technique. By repositioning gum tissue without grafts, we restore a natural smile with minimal downtime. This innovative approach offers immediate cosmetic improvement and lasting protection against sensitivity.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Our periodontal disease treatment focuses on early intervention and advanced therapies to halt progression. From non-surgical scaling to tailored maintenance plans, we prioritize preserving natural teeth and preventing systemic health risks. Education on hygiene and risk factors ensures sustained oral wellness.

Questions
What is periodontal disease, and how is it treated?
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection affecting gums and bone. We treat it with scaling, surgery, or laser therapy to restore tissue health and prevent tooth loss.
Are dental implants right for me?
Implants are ideal for replacing missing teeth if you have sufficient bone density. Dr. Pawlus evaluates your oral health to determine candidacy during a consultation.
What makes LANAP laser surgery unique?
LANAP targets diseased tissue without incisions, promoting regeneration of bone and gums. It offers faster healing and less discomfort compared to traditional methods.
How does Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation work?
This technique uses small holes to reposition gum tissue, covering exposed roots without grafts. It addresses recession quickly with minimal post-operative care.
Does insurance cover periodontal treatments?
Many plans cover periodontal care, but coverage varies. Our team assists in verifying benefits and maximizing reimbursement for procedures like implants or gum surgery.
What are the risks of untreated gum disease?
Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and systemic health issues. Early intervention prevents complications and maintains overall wellness.
