Dr. Steven Van Scoyoc is a specialist in Periodontics and Implantology. He is board certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. His practice specializes in conservative treatment of gum disease, including specialized interests in soft tissue reconstructive plastic surgery to aesthetically enhance the smile and dental implants that can replace single or multiple missing teeth.
He uses the latest technology and science to regenerate bone in the jaws, where bone loss was caused by infection from gum disease, loss of teeth, or injury. This includes sinus bone grafting, where many patients lack sufficient bone thickness in the upper posterior jaw in order to place implants. He also diagnoses and treats oral pathology.

Missing teeth can cause embarrassment, lower self-confidence and uncertainty in one's self-image. We have seen patients with just one missing tooth struggle eating foods they used to enjoy without any problems. We have also seen patients with multiple missing teeth avoid social situations and experience nutritional complications.
Around 178 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth.* Even just a single tooth can affect self-confidence and make it more difficult to eat or speak. Dental implants are the most effective, natural-feeling solution for missing teeth. Without tooth replacement, the facial features may begin to change, and teeth may begin to shift.
Replacing missing teeth is a life-changing experience that boosts confidence, increases self-esteem and puts normalcy back into everyday life. Missing teeth can lead to more complex complications down the road, including bone loss, which affect the facial structure and look of the smile.
Many denture wearers have seen the effects of missing teeth, as dentures sit on top of the gums and do not provide the natural stimulation the bone needs to remain healthy.A more permanent solution for dentures is full arch dental implants replacement. Dental implants promote healthy bone stimulation and maintain the look of the smile.

Missing teeth and a changing smile can take a toll on happiness and confidence in how you appear to others. They can cause you to doubt yourself, which could lower your self-esteem and may even influence your level of success. By investing in dental implants, a modern tooth replacement solution, you not only invest in your smile, but in your quality of life, confidence and oral health as well.
Once you have lost a tooth, the health and beauty of your smile are put at risk. Without the stimulation of the tooth root, the jaw bone begins to deteriorate from lack of use. Over time, this may lead to changing facial features, or the collapse of sinus areas. This puts stress on other teeth and leads to unpredictable outcomes.
