Implant dentistry involves replacing lost teeth with non-removable substitutes. Dental implants can also be used to help retain loose dentures. Please check the tabs above for additional information about all our procedures.
As a periodontist, I treat periodontal [gum] disease and other associated gum problems such as too much gum tissue covering the teeth or too little gum recession. Most common though, is treating infected gums [periodontitis] since this disease results in loss of supporting bone and eventually tooth loss. We now know of the many systemic complications that occur with untreated gum disease, from heart attack and stroke to dementia. There are many corrective procedures that we may use, but we like to start with the most conservative treatment.

A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the highest quality dental, periodontal and implant care for you. We provide comprehensive treatment planning to achieve your optimal periodontal health. When necessary, we place implants to replace missing teeth.
Prevention& Education
Preventive care and education are the main keys to optimal dental health. We focus on thorough examinations to check the overall health of your gums and teeth and perform oral cancer examinations. You probably know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. We’re concerned about your health and your smile.
