Bone loss in the jaw bone is common when one or more teeth have been lost due to injury, decay, or trauma. Without the tooth in place to stimulate the jaw bone, the bone around the missing tooth will begin to deteriorate. It is common to experience bone loss around the teeth as a result of progressive disease, infection or trauma.

We will thoroughly present treatment options, explain our procedures, and educate you in the maintenance of your oral health.

I saw Dr Richter about 4years ago for a second opinion after another office told me a needed $5k in gum surgery. He and his staff helped me develop a home care program that improved my condition(no more deep cleaning, much tighter gums with smaller pockets) and I did not need surgery. All I had to do is get my routine right and spend 20 extra minutes each day(I can do this part while watching tv at night). I do go to the dentist 4 times/yr(3 of those to Dr Richters office). I actually needed these frequent visits to get enough feedback to get my routine right. I could probably go only 3 times/yr

Dr Richter provides the best dental care. He is the one person I trust to do competent work on my teeth and gums. He had to remove (drill out) a failing molar (no fun, but he did it with as little pain as possible) and provided an excellent implant in its place. He has also done three gum grafts to replace and repair my receding gums. He uses laser technology to speed healing, which really works. I also appreciate that he explained in detail what was needed and how he would go about the necessary work. He listened patiently to my questions and gave me answers that put me at ease. I strongly recommend
