Dental Implants
Dental Implants provide a permanent solution to missing or damaged teeth. They are artificial tooth roots (in the shape of screws) that are placed in and become part of your natural bone. They serve as a strong base for artificial teeth (crowns). These new teeth look and feel and function as your own natural teeth. Alternatively, some dental implants can attach to dentures, firmly holding them in place.
Periodontics
Periodontal disease is a common infection of the supporting structures that holds teeth in place. It affects nearly half of adults in the U.S. Untreated it may lead to loss of tissue and the bone that supports teeth. In time, teeth will become loose and may be lost. It is also linked to many other health conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and alzheimer's. Dr Shabanian uses the latest techniques for the treatment of periodontal gum disease, gum pockets, bone defects, periodontal maintenance, bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, gum grafting, root coverage, ridge augmentation, and all other aspects of periodontology to achieve healthy, beautiful results.
Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures
Crown Lengthening: If you feel that you have a gummy or uneven gum line, crown lengthening is a procedure done by periodontists that can be used to remove excess gum tissue, re-sculpting your gum line.
Gum Graft: Some Patients have gum recession (pulling away of the gums) which causes the tooth root to become exposed making your teeth look longer and feel more sensitive. Gum grafting procedures can cover these exposed roots and protect vulnerable tooth roots from decay.
Bone Graft: Periodontic cosmetic procedures can be used to correct indentations in the gums and jaw bone.
