Services
Gum Disease Treatment
Our comprehensive gum disease treatment addresses both early and advanced stages of periodontal disease. Using scaling and root planing techniques combined with laser technology, we remove plaque and calculus while preserving healthy tissue. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation, improved oral health, and prevention of tooth loss through our evidence-based interventions.
Laser Gum Treatment
The LANAP protocol offers minimally invasive laser treatment for gum disease. Using the PerioLase MVP-7 laser, we target harmful bacteria without cutting or suturing. This advanced technique promotes tissue regeneration, reduces post-operative discomfort, and preserves tooth structure while achieving superior clinical outcomes compared to traditional surgery.
Dental Implants
Our specialist periodontists provide comprehensive dental implant solutions for missing teeth. From initial diagnosis to surgical placement, we ensure optimal positioning and long-term success. Bone grafting procedures enable implant placement even with compromised jawbone structure, restoring both function and aesthetics for improved quality of life.
Periodontal Surgery
For advanced periodontal cases, we perform surgical interventions to restore gum health. Procedures include pocket reduction, tissue regeneration, and crown lengthening. Our specialists use precision techniques to improve tooth support, enhance aesthetics, and create better access for maintaining oral hygiene through long-term maintenance programs.
Bone Grafting
Our bone grafting procedures restore jawbone volume to enable successful dental implant placement. Using advanced regenerative materials, we rebuild deficient areas while maintaining structural integrity. This allows ideal implant positioning for both functional restoration and natural-looking aesthetic outcomes, particularly in cases of long-term tooth loss.

Questions
What causes gum disease and how is it treated?
Gum disease results from plaque buildup causing inflammation and bone loss. We treat it through scaling, root planing, and laser therapy to remove bacteria while preserving healthy tissue.
What makes LANAP different from traditional gum surgery?
LANAP uses laser technology without cutting or suturing, causing less discomfort and preserving more tissue. It promotes regeneration while effectively treating periodontal disease with faster recovery times.
Can dental implants be placed with bone loss?
Yes, we perform bone grafting procedures to rebuild jawbone structure, enabling successful implant placement even after prolonged tooth loss through advanced regenerative techniques.
How often are periodontal maintenance visits needed?
Regular maintenance every 3-6 months is crucial after treatment. These visits monitor gum health, prevent disease recurrence, and ensure long-term success of dental implants through professional cleaning.
What qualifications do your specialists have?
Our periodontists have completed specialist postgraduate training in periodontics, including advanced LANAP protocol certification. They focus exclusively on periodontal care and implant dentistry with ongoing professional development.
