A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures. We use the latest technology and highest quality implants that are voted the industry’s best. Every case is digitally planned and each patient will receive a personalized treatment plan

Oral medicine is concerned with clinical diagnosis and non-surgical management of non-dental pathologies affecting the orofacial region (the mouth and the lower face). The oral cancer examination is completely painless. Drs. Weinstein, Froum, Melnick, and Rascon will look and feel around the mouth and tongue for abnormalities such as unusual bumps, and red and/or white patches. To get a definitive diagnosis, most of the time, we will perform a surgical excisional biopsy and send to a pathology lab. The results will be communicated with you.

The objective of non-surgical procedures is to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and tartar, or calculus, which cause gingival inflammation and disease. Scaling and root planing removes bacterial deposits on the root surfaces under the gums, allowing the gums to heal. SRP may be your only treatment for cases of gingivitis and early periodontitis, but is also included in treatment for more severe disease. Benefits of treatment include many periodontal benefits. Research has proven that bacteria from periodontal infections can travel through the bloodstream and affect other areas of the body, sometimes causing heart and respiratory diseases. Scaling and root planing remove bacteria that cause these conditions

LANAP treatment is less invasive than traditional gum surgery. It requires no cutting or sutures, resulting in reduced post-operative pain and swelling. Benefits: Faster Healing: The laser stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue and faster recovery times. Preservation of Healthy Tissue: The laser selectively removes diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue, minimizing the loss of gum tissue and reducing the risk of gum recession. Reduced Discomfort: LANAP laser treatment is often associated with less pain and discomfort during and after the procedure compared to traditional surgery. Long-Term Results: LANAP has been shown to provide long-lasting results, effectively controlling gum disease and improving overall oral health.

The maxilla (upper jaw) has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. If you've lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants. Undergoing sinus lift surgery has been shown to greatly increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come. The procedure entails the careful elevation of the sinus membrane and placement of bone graft.

With aesthetic periodontal therapy, including crown lengthening, we can make subtle or dramatic changes to the hard and soft tissues that support your teeth. During this procedure, excess gum tissue is removed to expose more of the crown of the tooth. Then your gumline is sculpted to give your new smile just the right look. Using state-of-the-art techniques and qualified by decades of experience, our team can customize each procedure to meet your unique needs.

Medically known as, “excessive gingival display” or “vertical maxillary excess”. For patients with excessive gum tissue display due to high upper lip position, lip repositioning is the best option. Simply repositioning the height of the lip with a safe and proven corrective surgery

Exposed tooth roots are the result of gum recession. Gum graft surgery will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss. Gum grafts can be used to cover roots or develop gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession. During gum graft surgery, your periodontist takes gum tissue from your palate or another donor source to cover the exposed root. There is an increased likelihood that the gum-line will continue to recede in an area of prior recession. Since the gum tissue is unable to repair itself, the tissue may need to be replaced with a minimally invasive grafting procedure.

Our world-class clinicians are pioneers in the treatment of “black triangle”. When there is not enough tissue to fill the space between teeth, our practice is able to treat these defects in a minimally invasive manner.

There are many procedures in which the orthodontist may need assistance from a periodontist. Our team of highly skilled and trained specialists will collaborate with your orthodontist to ensure the beal outcomes for your treatment. Give us a call to further explore the options.

Significant bone loss may occur after a tooth is lost or extracted. Bone loss happens because the jawbone is no longer holding a tooth (or teeth) in place and, like an under-used muscle in the body, begins to recede. Ridge modification has been shown to greatly improve appearance and increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come. Ridge modification can enhance your restorative success both aesthetically and functionally.

Removing the tooth with meticulous precision allows us to “preserve” the ridge of bone that will support your future implant. .Ridge augmentation has been shown to greatly improve appearance and increase your chances for successful implants that can last for years to come. Ridge modification can enhance your restorative success both aesthetically and functionally. Socket grafting is completed at the time of extraction. After removal of the tooth, the gum is elevated away from the bone if needed, the socket is thoroughly cleansed.The socket is packed with bone grafting material and a resorbable collagen barrier membrane is placed over the graft.

Dr. Weinstein, Dr. Froum, Dr. Melnick, or Dr. Rascon will give you a thorough evaluation in order to uncover the cause and the extent of your periodontal disease. Our comprehensive diagnostic process includes: A detailed medical history review, including nutrition, medications, vitamins, and supplements A thorough discussion regarding your lifestyle habits and tendencies, such as smoking and bruxism Digital x-ray imaging Full periodontal probing Screening for oral cancer and other diseases of the oral cavity By considering all aspects of your medical, social, and clinical history, we are able to consider the full scope of your periodontal condition to ensure that you receive the best possible care.

Just as a single tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, a complete set of teeth can also be replaced. The term All-on-4 refers to "all" teeth being supported "on four" dental implants. This procedure allows the replacement of missing teeth with a permanent, screw-retained, same-day replacement for the entire upper and/or lower set of teeth with a bridge or denture.
