Comprehensive periodontal care you’ll love

Our office is renowned for excellent periodontal services in and around the Burke area. Our comprehensive care with a personalized touch ensures your dental needs are cared for in one convenient location.

Our periodontal care services include:

  • Periodontal therapy: Gum or periodontal disease puts your underlying bone and teeth at risk. The earlier we treat gum disease, the better for your oral and overall health. Our comprehensive periodontal treatments address moderate to advanced cases. We offer conservative and surgical treatments for tooth loss, damaged gums, and other periodontal defects.
  • Implant dentistry: Dental implants are the preferred option for teeth replacement because of their durability, natural appearance, and stability. Our dental implants are created with excellent precision and state-of-the-art materials for optimal health and aesthetic benefits. As a full-service dental implant office, we offer comprehensive implant dentistry services, including surgery and adjunct procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts. We also fix treat failed dental implants!
  • Soft tissue cosmetic dentistry: Do you have unattractive gums—you deserve more. Crown lengthening and gum grafting restore your periodontal aesthetics to help you feel confident everywhere you go.
  • Dental extractions: Our top priority is preserving your teeth, but extractions may sometimes be necessary. Our team provides simple and surgical extractions for impacted wisdom teeth and severely damaged teeth. Thanks to gentle techniques and modern pain management methods, our dental extractions are safe and painless.
  • Frenectomy: We treat restricted frenulum attachments commonly known as tongue or lip-ties with a frenectomy or tongue/lip-tie release. This minor surgical procedure severs the short/restricted frenum to improve tongue and lip mobility.

Periodontal treatments can be intimidating, but not in our office. We’ll ensure you are always comfortable whether you want surgical or non-surgical treatment. Enjoy our modern, relaxed dental office as we go the extra mile to improve your dental experience.
