Cosmetic Treatment - The smile is composed of the teeth, gums and lips. The lips represent the frame and the gums act as a matting around the picture which is the teeth. All must be in harmony for the best esthetic result. We recommend that patients have a consultation prior to proceeding with treatment such as veneers or crowns on their front teeth. We can often improve the final results of their treatment by performing minor procedures on the gums to create the ideal smile. The gum lift procedure is a magnificent procedure which most patients and even some dentists do not realize can be done. You can contact us for a brochure that we have created using our own patients as examples.
Periodontal Therapy - As periodontists, we specialize in the treatment of gum disease. Gum disease has now been identified to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, premature low birth weight babies, and diabetes. It is now more important than ever to have healthy gums. We perform both non-surgical and surgical procedures to stop the progression of gum disease and in some cases rebuild the lost bone. We also use the Perioscope which is a microscope that allows us to view the root surfaces below the gums. This new innovation has drastically changed the way we treat periodontal disease. This gives us the ability to clean the roots of some teeth with deep pocketing without having to do surgery. Patients have been ecstatic that they can have these isolated deep areas treated and return to normal function the next day with only minor discomfort.
We are committed to:
- Taking the time to listen to our patients about their dental needs and concerns.
- Helping patients take active roles in their dental care by offering treatment alternatives.

- Providing friendly service to help make our patient's visit to the dentist an easy and convenient experience.
