Gum Recession

Gum grafting is periodontal surgery technique that can help people who have experienced gum recession. Gum recession is when the gum surrounding the tooth has pulled away, due to gingivitis, Periodontitis, aggressive brushing, or genetics, causing the roots of the teeth to become exposed.

Gummy Smile Correction

A gummy smile exposes a larger than average amount of gum tissue and has a noticeably disproportionate gum-to-tooth ratio.

Ridge Augmentation

It is a bone grafting technique that refers to re-growing a damaged jaw bone so that it can accept a dental implant. In order to place a successful dental implant, the jaw bone needs to be of adequate volume and consistency. If the tooth has been missing for a long time, or the bone was lost as a result of an infection or trauma, then the bone volume is usually inadequate for supporting a dental implant.

Sinus Graft

A procedure that is also referred to as “sinus lift” or “sinus graft” or “sinus augmentation” is a commonly used method for growing bone in the upper jaw (maxilla) in the area of the posterior premolar and molar teeth. The maxillary sinuses are hollow cavities that occupy the back of the upper jaw above the posterior teeth.

Periodontal Procedure

There are different treatments including pocket reduction, regenerative procedures and non-surgical procedures that are provided depending on the severity of periodontal disease.

Platelet Rich Fibrin

Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a natural bioactive additive from patient’s own blood to regulate inflammation and increase the speed of healing process during dental surgical procedures. 10 CC of patient’s blood is centrifuged to provide the PRF layer rich in fibrin, platelets and growth factors.

OUR SPECIALTY

Ceramic implants are tooth colored, esthetic, metal free and very tissue compatible. Zirconia dental implants provide no allergic reactions and sensitivity to temperature and have an aesthetic advantage over titanium implants. Good esthetic results can also be obtained with titanium implants however in cases of gum recession, shrinkage and thin gums, titanium can reveal unsightly gray lines which will not be the case with regards to Zirconia implants.

In addition, it does not corrode and will not have any impact on taste in the mouth. Lastly, Zirconia implants are a viable alternative for patients who are not comfortable with or are not able to tolerate metal (titanium) implants in their mouths.
