Our experienced dentists and oral surgeons treat the complete spectrum of oral conditions. From missing teeth and dental decay to traumatic facial injuries that require reconstructive surgery to tumors and cysts of the jaws, we provide the latest treatments for a wide range of conditions, including:

Bone Grafting
Damage to the jawbone can be caused in areas where there are missing teeth, which may cause the jawbone to deteriorate and change the facial structure making it unsuitable for a dental implant. Our up to date equipment and a team of experienced dental surgeons can repair the inadequate bone in preparation for dental implants through bone grafting, restoring functionality and esthetic appearance.

Ridge Expansion
A ridge expansion is a standard dental surgery procedure often performed following a tooth extraction to help recreate the natural contour of the gums and jaw that may have been lost due to bone loss. The ridge bone can also lose density due to age or disease.

Soft Tissue Grafting
Periodontal disease, trauma, aging, over-brushing, and poor tooth positioning could cause gum recession, which can lead to tooth-root exposure in severe cases. However, soft tissue grafting is often necessary to combat such a gum recession. With a facility equipped with the latest dental technology, we will make soft tissue grafting less intrusive.

Surgical Extractions
Sometimes trauma, gum disease, cracked or broken teeth, and tooth decay can be too significant, and despite all efforts to save the tooth, extractions may be the best option. Here at our facility, we will make the surgical extraction process as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
