DENTAL IMPLANTS

Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture. Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes. Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Implant Surgical Procedures

• Dental implant placement, stage I & II

• Immediate implant placement with bone grafting

• Immediate temporization

• Guided bone regeneration for implant site development

• Maxillary sinus augmentation

• Internal Sinus Maniuplation (ISM)*

• Computer guided surgery  

Microscopic Surgery for Minimally Invasive Treatment

• Use of surgical microscope for microscpic detection and surgical procedures

*Internal Sinus Manipulation (ISM)

• The ISM procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique for sinus augmentation to create appropriate condition for implant placement on posterior maxillary regions. 

PERIODONTICS

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Your gum tissue is not attached to the teeth as high as it may seem. There is a very shallow v-shaped crevice called a sulcus between the tooth and gums. Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum line in the sulcus, where they cause the attachment of the tooth and its supporting tissues to break down. As the tissues are damaged, the sulcus develops into a pocket: generally, the more severe the disease, the greater the depth of the pocket.

Esthetic Recontouring Gingival

• Clinical crown lengthening to expose more of the teeth for an attractive smile or improved retention and restorative access.

Esthetic Gingival Graft

• Root coverage procedures to protect the roots from erosion, decay, and sensitivity while providing an attractive, symmetric appearance.

• Establishment of a functional zone of attached keratinized gingival to prevent recession.

• Augmentation procedures to re-establish normal tissue contours for a more attractive and hygienic restorative result. Periodontal plastic surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and some form of sedation, if necessary.

Nonsurgical Periodontal Procedures

• Oral Hygiene Care

• Prophylaxis

• Scaling & Root Planing

• Periodic Maintenance Care Surgical Periodontal Procedures

Surgical Periodontal Procedures

• Periodontal flap procedure

• Guided tissue regeneration procedure with composite bone grafting

• Esthetic gingival graft procedure

• Esthetic recontouring of gingival architecture

• Crown lengthening procedure

• Root resection and hemisection

• Surgical biopsies of oral soft and hard tissue
