Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. As a periodontist, I specialize in placing biocompatible titanium implants that fuse with the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This restores both function and esthetics, improving the patient’s smile and quality of life.

Peri-implantitis is an infection that affects the tissues and bone around a dental implant. I offer advanced surgical treatments to clean the infected area, remove bacteria, and regenerate lost bone and gum tissue to protect the implant and oral health.

This non-surgical deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline and smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach to teeth. It's often the first line of treatment for managing early-stage periodontal disease.

If teeth have become mobile due to bone loss or trauma, periodontal splinting can help. By bonding teeth together, this technique stabilizes them and reduces movement, making it easier to chew and increase comfort.

This advanced surgical technique encourages the regrowth of bone and soft tissue lost due to periodontal disease. A biocompatible membrane is placed to guide the cells from the periodontal ligament and bone, supporting long-term periodontal health and tooth stability.

When gum disease causes deep pockets between teeth and gums, osseous surgery may be needed. This procedure reduces pocket depth, smooths damaged bone, and removes bacteria to create a healthier environment.

Gum grafting restores receded gum tissue, protecting exposed tooth roots and reducing sensitivity. We use tissue from the palate or a donor source to rebuild the gumline and improve esthetics and oral health.

These procedures reshape the gum tissue for improved oral health or esthetics. A gingivectomy removes excess gum tissue caused by inflammation, while gingivoplasty sculpts the gums for a more natural, symmetrical appearance.

This cosmetic procedure removes excess gum tissue and some underlying bone to reveal more of the natural tooth structure. It’s ideal for patients who feel their smile looks "gummy" and want a more balanced, attractive smile.

Sometimes, decay or damage occurs below the gumline. Functional crown lengthening exposes more of the tooth structure, allowing for proper placement of a crown or restoration and supporting long-term oral health.

A frenectomy involves removing or adjusting a frenum—a small fold of tissue under the lips or tongue—that may cause issues like speech problems, gum recession, or spacing between teeth. This simple procedure can improve function and comfort.

When a tooth cannot be saved due to damage, infection, or impaction, I perform surgical extractions to safely and comfortably remove it, often with the goal of preparing the site for a future implant or other restoration.

After a tooth extraction, this technique helps maintain the natural shape and volume of the jawbone using bone grafting materials. It’s essential for patients planning on future dental implants.

If bone has been lost due to periodontal disease or tooth loss, bone augmentation restores the volume necessary to support dental implants or improve stability. Using advanced regenerative materials, I rebuild healthy bone structure.

For patients lacking upper jawbone height, a sinus lift adds bone below the sinus cavity to create enough support for dental implants. I perform both vertical and lateral techniques depending on the site anatomy.

Alveoloplasty reshapes and smooths the jawbone after tooth removal, especially when preparing for dentures or implants. This enhances comfort and fit while improving long-term outcomes for restorations.

Bony growths in the mouth (tori or exostoses) can interfere with dentures, speech, or oral hygiene. I offer precise surgical removal to improve comfort and facilitate future dental treatments.

If an unusual lesion or growth is present in the mouth, a biopsy may be necessary to determine its nature. I perform oral biopsies with care and precision, working with pathology labs to ensure accurate diagnoses.

Dental abscesses can be painful and dangerous if left untreated. I perform incision and drainage procedures to relieve pressure, remove infection, and support healing, often in coordination with other treatments.

Wisdom teeth often cause crowding, pain, or infection. Whether they are fully erupted or partially impacted, I remove them safely and efficiently.

When a canine tooth fails to erupt properly, exposure and bonding help guide it into place. This procedure, often done in coordination with orthodontic treatment, ensures proper alignment and function of the bite.
