Periodontists are dental specialists who focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants and other complex surgical procedures. Their advanced training allows them to perform delicate procedures safely and effectively, ensuring optimal results and long-term oral health.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery is a procedure designed to treat advanced gum disease by reshaping and smoothing the bone that supports your teeth. When gum disease progresses, it can cause pockets to form between the teeth and gums, leading to bone loss and tooth instability. During osseous surgery, our periodontist removes diseased tissue, smooth the underlying bone, and restore a healthier foundation for your teeth. This treatment helps reduce pocket depth, making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and preventing further tooth loss.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is often necessary when a patient does not have enough healthy bone to support a dental implant or maintain overall oral structure. Using donor bone or synthetic materials, our periodontist rebuilds the jawbone to provide a stable base for implants or to restore areas affected by bone loss. Bone grafting not only supports the success of implants but also preserves the natural shape of your jaw and face, improving both function and appearance.
Gum Grafting
Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity, decay, and an uneven gum line. Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that restores lost gum tissue by transplanting healthy tissue from another area of the mouth or using donor tissue. This treatment protects your teeth, enhances your smile, and promotes long-term gum health. At Main Line Endodontic & Periodontic Associates, our periodontist ensures that gum grafting is done with precision for natural-looking results and lasting benefits.
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure often required before placing dental implants in the upper jaw. When the sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone or there is insufficient bone height, a sinus lift raises the sinus membrane and adds bone material to create a stable foundation for implants. This procedure requires the expertise of a periodontist to ensure proper healing and successful implant placement.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft tissue grafting helps restore and strengthen the gums around teeth and implants. This procedure can improve the appearance of your smile, reduce sensitivity, and protect against further gum recession. Soft tissue grafts are carefully performed by our skilled periodontist to enhance both the health and aesthetics of your gums, ensuring a balanced and natural look.
