Often the first sign of gum disease, and treatable at every stage.
Receding gums
Exposed roots, sensitivity, and a longer-looking tooth.
Loose teeth
Many can be stabilized when treated early.
A missing tooth
Implant, bridge, or partial: an honest comparison.
Several failing or missing teeth
Keep them, a denture, or fixed teeth on implants.
A gummy smile
Reshaping the gumline to show more tooth.
A problem with an implant
Bleeding, looseness, or a second opinion.
Nervous about treatment?
Nitrous, oral, and IV sedation, and what a first visit is really like.
Replacing a Missing Tooth
Implants are planned with 3D imaging and placed with a surgical guide where the case calls for one, then restored by your own dentist. Single teeth, several teeth, or a full arch, with bone and sinus grafting when it's needed.

Patient Education Articles
- Do You Really Need a Deep Cleaning? An Honest AnswerA deep cleaning is the right treatment for a specific set of findings and the wrong treatment without them. The measurements that justify it are written in your chart, and you are entitled to see them.
- Am I a Candidate for a Dental Implant?Most adults in reasonable health are candidates. The questions that actually decide it are whether there is enough bone or enough bone can be built, whether the gums are healthy, and whether anything in the medical history changes how the site will heal. Some answers are firm and some are judgment calls, and this page separates the two.
- My Implant Hurts or Feels Loose. Can It Be Saved?A loose crown and a loose implant feel much the same to the patient and could hardly be more different in what they mean. This explains how the two are told apart, what peri-implantitis is, and what can still be done at each stage.
