Our Most Requested Procedures
Select Additional Services
Gingivectomies
- A gingivectomy is usually performed when a patient has severe periodontal disease that cannot be cured with scaling and root planing or other periodontal procedures. Gingivectomies are performed to remove and reshape loose, diseased gum tissue and to reduce the depth of pockets between the teeth and gums.
Occlusal Adjustments
- Occlusal, or bite, adjustment is a procedure performed to remove tiny interferences that keep teeth from coming together properly. This means the muscles of the jaw and neck aren't able to fully relax, and may result in headaches, neck aches, teeth grinding and tempromandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
Oral Pathology Exams
- Oral pathology involves diagnosing and treating diseases of the mouth such as cysts, tumors, and precancerous and cancerous lesions. Many patients experience changes in the mouth, teeth, gums, tongue, or throat that may be caused by disease. The earlier a disease is diagnosed, the faster treatment and healing can begin.
BOTOX®
- When facial muscles become overused or patients have deep wrinkles or lines present in the face, we can treat the areas with BOTOX. When injected, BOTOX works by restricting the signals your body sends to the muscles in treatment areas, causing the injected muscles to no longer contract. This relaxes the muscles and causes a softening of the skin which often smooths out wrinkles and lines. For those who suffer from constant migraines or TMJ disorders, we can inject BOTOX into the jaw joint muscles to cause it to relax and relieve tension.
Dermal Fillers
- Dermal fillers are substances that are injected beneath the skin to add volume and fullness to the face. Many of these options reverse the signs of aging, such as sagging skin or wrinkles by making the skin firmer. Dermal fillers can be used to plump thinning lips, soften the appearance of scars, or fill in wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and nose. Some dermal fillers restore lost collagen, which adds elasticity back to the skin.
