Dental ImplantsA dental implant is an ideal solution if you are missing one or more teeth. As a periodontist, Dr. Shannon specializes in the treatment planning and placement of dental implants. Once in place, the implant will serve as the root component of a dental prosthesis. Because it becomes a part of you, an implant is the next best thing to your natural tooth. Learn More Bone GraftingBone grafting involves adding bits of bone or grafting whole pieces of bone from other parts of the body to the jawbone. This is done to regenerate bone tissue lost due to periodontal disease or other factors. On the other hand, bone contouring involves removing bone from the jaw to reshape it for cosmetic or functional purposes. Learn More Gum GraftingGum graft surgery may be the best way to address severe gum recession. Gum recession can be the result of periodontal disease, aging, trauma, over-brushing, and misaligned teeth. Gum recession can result in substantial sensitivity issues, pain, and poor smile aesthetics. Learn More |
