Laser Periodontal Therapy
Dr. Cha utilizes state-of-the-art laser technology for minimally invasive gum treatments. This cutting-edge approach offers:
- Less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional surgery
- Precision targeting of infected tissue while preserving healthy gum tissue
- Stimulation of natural regeneration of gum and bone tissue
Gum Grafting
For patients with severe gum recession, we offer gum grafting procedures to cover exposed root surfaces and restore your gum line. This not only improves the aesthetics of your smile but also protects your teeth from sensitivity and decay.
Periodontal Maintenance
After initial treatment, we provide ongoing care to prevent the recurrence of gum disease. These regular deep cleaning sessions are crucial for maintaining your periodontal health and protecting your investment in treatment.
Bone Grafting
In cases of significant bone loss due to advanced periodontal disease, we perform bone grafting procedures to regenerate lost bone and create a stable foundation for dental implants or to save existing teeth.
Crown Lengthening
This procedure can help both the health and appearance of your smile by reshaping excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural tooth.
The Science of Periodontal Services
Our Comprehensive Periodontal Services
At Dental Implant Institute, we offer a full spectrum of periodontal treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is not just to treat the symptoms, but to address the root cause of your gum issues and restore your oral health.
Scaling and Root Planing
This deep-cleaning procedure is often the first line of defense against early-stage periodontal disease. Using advanced ultrasonic tools, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line (scaling). We then smooth out the root surfaces (planing) to eliminate bacterial toxins and help the gums reattach to the teeth.
