Raising the bar with advanced periodontal services
Kickstart your journey to a healthier, more confident smile with our comprehensive dental implant and periodontal care.
Our services include:
- Single tooth implants: Are you looking for a permanent solution to replace your lost tooth? Dental implants are an excellent way to restore your smile. A dental implant is permanent, stable, and provides a natural look and feel. Your new tooth blends seamlessly with other teeth and allows you to eat all your favorite foods without discomfort.
- Full-arch dental implants: Have you lost multiple teeth because of advanced gum disease, accident, or poor genetics? Full-arch or implant-supported dentures are a ground-breaking solution for restoring your beautiful smile. Unlike traditional dentures, they are more stable and predictable. They also eliminate nightly soaks, messy adhesives, and embarrassing slippages.
- Periodontal disease treatment: Your gums are the foundation of your smile. Your Darien periodontist offers numerous surgical and non-surgical treatments for periodontal disease. Non-surgical scaling and root planing (SRP) work for moderate to advanced gum disease. However, severe cases may need gum flap surgery or osseous surgery. Instead of the traditional cut-and-sew approach, our doctor can use laser technology to treat advanced gum disease.
- Gum grafting: Gum grafting is an excellent procedure for restoring a receding gum line. The dentist stitches a tissue graft into the receded areas to restore aesthetics and periodontal health.
- Crown lengthening: Do your prominent gums overshadow your teeth when smiling? A “gummy smile” is predominantly a cosmetic issue but can affect your gum health and proper placement of crowns or filling. Crown lengthening is a simple procedure that trims/contours overgrown gum tissues to reveal more of the teeth for a symmetrical appearance.
- Wisdom teeth extractions: Your top-rated periodontist in Darien, IL, handles complex dental extractions, including wisdom teeth removal. Our dental extractions are carefully planned and executed to maximize your comfort and long-term health.
