Improve and maintain your healthy mouth with these services:

  • Exams – We need to know your situation to give you the best care that we can. Your visits can include a visual exam and digital X-rays.
  • Deep Cleaning – Tartar can build around your teeth. That includes at and below the gumline, which it can cause irritation and allow infection to occur. Removing the tartar is often the first step in allowing your gums to heal.
  • Root Planing – We can smooth the surface of your roots after the tartar is out of the way. That makes it more difficult for bacteria to build up in this area. It also allows your gums and teeth to reattach.
  • Perio Protect – We will create custom trays for you as part of this noninvasive periodontal treatment. The trays are made to hold your antibiotic medication where it gives you the most benefit. That allows your medication can reach places that a toothbrush or floss can’t.
  • Gum Surgery – Surgery may be necessary to remove severely infected tissue.
  • Gum Grafts – This procedure is how we can rebuild gums that have receded.
  • Dental Implants – You can replace your missing teeth with dental implants if your gum infection led to tooth loss. Implants replace your lost roots and keep your replacement teeth secure and stable.
