Periodontal and Dental Implant Services
Our team provides non-surgical and surgical options to preserve natural teeth, rebuild lost tissue, and create a stable foundation for tooth replacement. Every treatment plan is based on a detailed evaluation and your long-term oral health needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace one or more missing teeth with stable support for a crown, bridge, or denture. Our periodontists plan and place implants for both straightforward and complex cases. We also provide ongoing care to protect the gums and bone around the implants.
Learn MoreGum Grafting
Gum grafting restores tissue in areas affected by gum recession. Depending on your needs, grafting may cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, thicken unstable gum tissue, or improve the gumline around natural teeth and dental implants.
Learn MoreDental Bone Grafting
Dental bone grafting can rebuild areas where bone has been lost because of gum disease, missing teeth, trauma, or previous dental treatment. Procedures such as guided tissue regeneration, socket preservation, ridge augmentation, and sinus augmentation may create healthier support for natural teeth or prepare an area for future implant placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens at your first periodontal appointment?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation of your gums, teeth, supporting bone, and overall oral health. We review any existing dental records and take additional imaging when needed. Your periodontist will explain the findings, discuss recommended treatment options, and help you understand the next steps.
Does dental insurance cover periodontal treatment?
Many dental insurance plans provide some coverage for medically necessary periodontal treatment, although benefits vary by plan and procedure. Our team helps verify your benefits, estimate your out-of-pocket costs, and review available payment and financing options before treatment begins.
Can a periodontist fix problems with an existing dental implant?
Yes. Periodontists can evaluate complications involving existing implants, including inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and infection. Depending on the condition of the implant and surrounding tissue, treatment may involve laser therapy, gum or bone grafting, or implant removal and replacement when necessary.
