- grafts to cover exposed roots

- removal of excessive gum tissue (correct "gummy smile")

- augment ridges (replace tissue that is lost when teeth are removed)

PERIODONTAL SURGERY:

- bone grafts to regenerate lost bone around teeth

- pocket elimination surgery to make areas more accessible for cleaning

- gum grafts to thicken gum base so there is less chance of tooth recession occuring

DENTAL IMPLANTS:

- single and multiple implants

- sinus lift grafts: if there is insufficient space to place implants in back upper areas

- bone grafts to make space if insufficient for dental implants

NIGHTGUARDS:

- for clenching or bruxism

OCCLUSAL EQUILIBRATION:

- to adjust bite to make sure the upper and lower teeth come together properly

PERIODONTAL MAINENANCE:

- teeth cleaning

PERIODONTAL DEBRIDEMENT:

- non surgical procedure using ultrasonics to remove plaque, calculus, and toxins

from the root surfaces above and within the patients periodontal pockets

PLACEMENT OF ANTIBIOTIC FIBERS:

- within the periodontal pocket : to help detoxify bacteria within the pockets

Actisite - fiber is removed 7-10 days after placement

Atrodox - resorbable, does not need to be removed
