Welcome to my office, where my staff and I am committed to providing you the highest quality periodontal care while using the latest technological advances. I provide procedures including surgical and non-surgical treatment of the supporting structures of the teeth including the gums and bone with the goal of saving the natural dentition.
When the teeth cannot be saved, I also place dental implants. I work side by side with your general dentist to provide comprehensive dental treatment. My highly trained staff strives to satisfy your needs for quality treatment in a gentle, caring environment.

Scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning below the gumline, is often the first step in treating periodontal disease. Plaque and tarter (build up of disease causing bacteria), are removed from areas that bruising and flossing cannot reach, including the roots of the teeth.
In cases of mild periodontal disease (also know as gingivitis), undergoing scaling and root planing may be enough to clear any developing infection and prevent any further disease advancement.Oral hygiene instruction will be reviewed and the importance of home care will be discussed in order to achieve optimal results.
