Stronger, More Beautiful Gum Tissue

Do you realize that the health of your gum tissue can impact a broad range of issues from the esthetic beauty of your smile and the strength of your teeth to your greater systemic health?

In our high-tech office, we provide extensive services by integrating advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment and techniques.

Key Periodontal Services

Frenectomy

Whether for your child or yourself, a frenectomy can improve speaking and eating abilities. In the case of a tongue tie we can reduce the size of the tissue (frenulum) that’s limiting the tongue’s movement or remove it altogether. For those with a lip tie, we can also enhance the mouth’s appearance by removing the frenulum located above the two front teeth of the upper arch.

Soft Tissue Recontouring

Even out an unwelcome “gummy” smile with personalized soft tissue recontouring. Here we take away the extra gum tissue that covers your teeth and restructure the gums around each relevant tooth to create a more harmonious smile.

Gum Grafting

Undo unappealing and unhealthy gum recession and heightened tooth sensitivity. We place a small portion of tissue taken from your soft palate or a donor source in the area of gum recession to restore your gums. Gum grafting enables your tooth roots to regain their protective barrier after recession and also enriches your smile.

Gingivectomy

Effectively treat mild gum disease. We start by surgically removing unhealthy gum tissue, then disinfecting the periodontal pockets before putting the surrounding tissue back into place with sutures. A gingivectomy shrinks the pocket depth around your teeth to advance your gum health.

Guided Tissue Regeneration

Accelerate the healing of your soft tissue and bone after gum disease therapy. We use a natural layer of tissue to separate the bone and gums in the affected area to permit each to heal correctly without impeding the other.
