Our Periodontal Procedures
Our practice offers a wide range of periodontal services to restore your smile and improve how your teeth function.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. If left untreated, gaps in your smile can cause remaining teeth to shift and impact your ability to comfortably eat and speak. Dental implants replace the tooth root to prevent bone loss and create a strong foundation for a replacement crown. They are designed to blend in with adjacent teeth and are fixed in place, so you do not have to worry about them slipping while eating tough or sticky foods or removing them for cleaning. They are cared for like natural teeth and may last for the rest of your lifetime.

Implant Dentures
Four dental implants are used to securely affix a full set of upper or lower teeth, leaving you with a strong, beautiful smile. The implants are precisely positioned to support non-removable dentures and restore powerful chewing ability without fear that teeth will slip out of place. You are able to eat and drink like normal, and the titanium implants stimulate the jaw to help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure. Implant dentures are a desirable alternative to traditional dentures and do not need to be removed for cleaning or sleeping.
