Periodontics is the dental specialty that deals with the hard and soft tissues that support teeth. Periodontal disease refers to gum disease. Periodontal procedures are usually performed to save or rebuild the jaw bone and/or gums in order to save teeth or allow for the placement of dental implants.

  • Dental Implants

    Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and roots. Implants are surgically placed where the teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the implant, acting as a tooth root. Once the implants are healed, they can be used for either tooth replacement or denture stability.

  • Biopsy

    The smooth, pink skin lining the mouth is called mucosa. Abnormalities in the color or texture of this skin can sometimes indicate pathology. Any concerns with the skin in the mouth, a sore that is not healing properly or a lump on the inside of the cheeks, palate, gums or lips may merit a biopsy, or removal of abnormal tissue, so that the tissue sample can be tested for oral cancer. Please do not ignore these warning signs and mention any concerns you may have during your visit.
