Periodontics
Periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. The gum, bone, and other supporting structures of the teeth are affected. The result will be tooth loss if untreated.
Periodontal Plastic Surgery
Procedures such as gingival grafts can improve the smile’s aesthetics after gum recession, which makes the teeth appear unusually long and gives the patient a prematurely aged appearance.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to speak, smile and eat again with confidence and comfort, dental implants are tooth replacements that look and feel similar to natural teeth.
