• Treat gum disease on an ongoing basis with periodontal maintenance.
• Tough buildup on teeth is removed with ultrasonic cleaning.

• Periodontal infections can be more effectively eliminated with laser treatment
• Gum disease can be treated and prevented with pocket reduction surgery.
• Excessive gum tissue can be reshaped with crown lengthening.
• Teeth left exposed by receding gums can be treated with a gingival graft
• Gum recession that’s led to resorption can be treated with guided bone regeneration.

Endodontics

Each tooth in your mouth sits in bone and is surrounded by gum tissue. Approximately two-thirds of each tooth (the root portion) is in jaw bone. Inside every tooth is a canal or canals (usually depending on the number of roots the tooth has). Each canal has a vein, artery and nerve in it.

• Relive a painful or infected tooth with root canal therapy.
• Deep stains in treated teeth can be lightened with internal bleaching.
• Infections are drained and treated with an abscess removal.
• Root canals that become re-infected are treated with an apicoectomy.
