“The laser gum recontouring procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and is performed with local anesthesia and a dental laser. Healing is quick and easy, with some mild discomfort in the first few days. Dr. Garrett can discuss this option with you, and how you may benefit from this procedure.”

Crown Lengthening

When decay is advanced and deep in the tooth, the dentist may lengthen the crown of the tooth by removing surrounding hard and soft tissue to provide more tooth length. A crown placed too deeply and close to the bone, will always be irritating to the surrounding tissue.

In the case of mild/moderate periodontal problems, the focus of the dentist will be on curing the underlying bacterial infection and then providing advice on the most appropriate home cleaning methods.

Sometimes scaling and root planning, a ”deep cleaning”, is needed to remove the bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar) from the teeth and tissues.

Where periodontal disease is advanced and the jawbone has regressed significantly, a more intensive cleaning may be recommended and loose teeth that cannot be saved may have to be removed.

Our dentist is trained in many aspects of dental implant procedures, which can restore functionality to the mouth when teeth have been lost due to periodontitis.

Because periodontal disease is progressive, it is essential to remove the bacteria and calculus build up to halt the spread of the infection. Your dentist will be happy to advise you on effective cleaning methods and treatment options.
