Periodontics & Dental Health
We treat all stages of gum disease, from mild gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) to advanced periodontitis (which involves bone loss). Treatment options vary based on the severity and may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), gum surgery, or laser therapies.
A tissue graft is recommended when you have receding gums, which can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and an aesthetic concern. We can use tissue from the roof of your mouth or a donor source to cover the exposed roots and restore a healthy gumline.
A periodontist is a dental specialist who has completed additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing specifically on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, and the placement of dental implants. While a general dentist handles overall oral health, a periodontist provides specialized care for the supporting structures of your teeth (gums and bone).

IV Therapy
Once you are connected to the IV, which is usually a quick and straightforward process, the duration of the therapy will depend on why you are undergoing IV therapy. This process can take longer, but will typically require 45 minutes to an hour of your time. Some IV therapies can be done relatively quickly, while others will take longer.
Again, the answer depends on why you are undergoing IV therapy. In some cases, you may feel the effects almost immediately. In other cases, it may take more time. Depending on several factors, the results can last for up to a few days after completing the procedure.
Botox
Botox treatments are quick and effective, typically completed within a 30 minute appointment. You may return to work directly thereafter with little to no downtime.
Within 3-5 days. The effects will reach their peak by day 10-14.
Effects last up to 4-6 months, so we usually recommend getting Botox every 4-6 months depending on the current state of wrinkles and force of the various facial muscle contractions.
There are typically none. Redness or a tiny bruise may occur at the injection site, but this is quite rare.
Dental Implants
You can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of your teeth. However, you don't need one dental implant for every missing tooth. Very often, as few as four to six implants can provide support for a full replacement set of upper or lower teeth.
Most people find dental implant procedures very easy to tolerate. Any post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen.
Initially, implants may seem more expensive than other tooth-replacement methods such as dentures or bridgework. However, since implants are the closest thing to real teeth and last longer than other options, they are often the most cost-effective option.
There's a good chance you are a candidate for dental implants, but only your dentist can help you decide after a complete oral examination that includes x-rays of your jaws. Schedule a consultation today to begin the exciting process of restoring your smile with dental implants.
