What is Periodontal Maintenance? Maintenance is characterized by a comprehensive periodontal examination and cleanings tailored to each patient's periodontal risk at specific intervals. Typically, these cleanings do not require local anesthetic. The interval for periodontal maintenance visits varies from patient to patient, but is generally recommended every 3-4 months.
Due to decay or trauma, a tooth may fracture or become weakened. When this happens, the remaining tooth structure to support a crown restoration is often inadequate. Provided there is considerable bone support around the remaining root and a healthy root canal system, the tooth may be able to be retained and restored via a procedure called "crown lengthening".
Teeth are lost for a variety of reasons and a big part of our practice is replacing those missing teeth with dental implants. Dental implants can often be placed on the same day as tooth removal. If bone loss is severe, however, a bone graft may be needed at the time of extraction to prepare the area for an implant.
One of the most common reasons people have a gummy smile is due to a diagnosis called "altered passive eruption". With altered passive eruption, patients have normal tooth length but they are covered by the gums. Once the gums are re-contoured, the patient will show more teeth and less gums when they smile.

I received a gum graph a couple months ago. The office was clean and friendly. The surgery was pain free and the assistant kept me very comfortable. Although the healing process was annoying in my mouth, doctor was very attentive and within a week I was back to normal. I am very happy with the results. My teeth look great and the sensitivity I was having is gone!

Dr. Holden was excellent, however his office atmosphere could use some work. I don’t feel comfortable or welcomed when I walk in and am continuously forced to watch Fox News every time I’m waiting. It’s the only channel they ever have on, and while the older white males might really enjoy this biased news channel, I prefer something a little more factual and less offensive.
