Periodontics

Treatment types

Crown Lengthening

Our crown lengthening procedures expose sound tooth structure when clinical crowns are compromised by subgingival caries, vertical fractures, or inadequate tooth height. By precisely adjusting soft tissue and alveolar bone levels, we establish proper biological width and adequate retention for future restorative margins while maintaining long-term periodontal health.

Gum Recession & Mucogingival Defects

We offer specialized soft tissue management for progressive gingival recession, root exposure, hypersensitivity, and mucogingival defects. Utilizing connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, acellular dermal matrix, and minimally invasive tunnel techniques, we restore attached gingiva, cover exposed root surfaces, and protect teeth against further breakdown.

Preprosthetic & Orthodontic Considerations

We provide targeted surgical preparation to optimize hard and soft tissues prior to restorative work or orthodontic therapy. Our procedures include surgical exposure of impacted teeth, labial and lingual frenectomies, fiberotomies, and preprosthetic soft tissue modification to facilitate predictable tooth movement and ensure ideal restorative emergence profiles.

Ridge Augmentation

Our practice performs localized hard and soft tissue ridge augmentation to correct alveolar defect dimensions resulting from tooth extraction, trauma, or severe bone loss. Through guided bone regeneration, block grafting, and membrane placement, we rebuild height and width to establish a stable foundation for future implant placement or fixed prosthetics.

Tissue Recontouring

We perform precise cosmetic and functional tissue recontouring, including gingivectomy and gingivoplasty, to manage altered passive eruption, excessive gingival display, and asymmetric tissue margins. These procedures correct uneven gumlines, eliminate pseudopockets, and establish harmonious aesthetic proportions between soft tissue and patient crowns.

Vestibular Extension

Our vestibuloplasty procedures deepen the oral vestibule and increase the zone of attached keratinized mucosa. By relocating muscle attachments and placing mucosal grafts when necessary, we eliminate tissue tension on the gingival margin, enhance oral hygiene access, and improve denture base stability for prosthetic patients.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) & Myofascial Pain Dysfunction (MPD) Treatment

We evaluate and manage temporomandibular joint disorders and myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome. Our comprehensive diagnosis includes occlusion analysis, joint vibration examination, and muscular palpation to construct customized stabilization splints, physical therapy protocols, occlusal adjustments, and targeted therapeutic interventions to alleviate facial pain and restore jaw mobility.
