— Treatment options

Periodontal treatments

Bone Regeneration

Tooth loss occurs for many reasons, including: dental decay, root canal problems, fractures, periodontal disease, and trauma.

Functional Crown Lengthening

Your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but they are covered with too much gum tissue.

Sinus Lift

The human skull has several cavities or air spaces called sinuses.

Gum Flap Surgery

When deep pockets between teeth and gums (6 millimeters or deeper) are present, it is difficult for a dentist to thoroughly remove the plaque and tartar.

Soft Tissue Grafting

Frenectomy

If a patient has an excess amount of tissue that connects the lower and upper lips to the jaw and gum line, a frenectomy procedure is performed to remove the excess tissue.
