Alveolar ridge preservation involves placement of a bone graft material into a socket at the time of extraction. This procedure allows for the reconstruction of bone that may have been destroyed by infection.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants can be used to replace teeth. They are made of biocompatible metals and act as a post upon which a crown or dentures can be attached. They can be used to replace single of multiple missing teeth.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a treatment that can be performed to improve esthetics and function. If your gums are covering more of your tooth than normal, the gums can be recontoured and restored to its normal position.

It can also increase gum thickness and reduce sensitivity.
For this treatment, gum tissue is moved from your palate or another source to cover the exposed root. This can be completed for one or several teeth.
Pocket Reduction & Bone Regeneration
In advanced case of gum disease, gum surgery may be indicated.
Pocket reduction surgery involves the removal of inflamed gum tissue and allows access for thorough cleaning of the root surfaces before the gums are closed.
