When you are facing a serious gum infection, surgery is always our last resort. Dr. Kaeley, your skilled periodontist, uses effective, non-surgical treatments to restore your gum health whenever possible. She can perform periodontal treatments such as deep cleanings, laser techniques, and other procedures.

However, sometimes dental surgery is necessary. You may need to strengthen your jaw to support dental implants. A badly damaged or infected tooth can put your other teeth at risk. Receding gums may be hurting your oral health. In these cases, surgical solutions can protect you from serious issues.

Your surgical treatment options include:

  • Bone Grafts - Bone grafts restore lost jawbone to prepare you for dental implants. The grafting material promotes healing and stimulates new bone growth, giving you a stronger jaw. This strengthened foundation ensures better support for your new teeth. You also gain better jawbone function.
  • Tooth Extractions - Tooth extractions eliminate pain and prevent complications in your smile. The procedure also creates space for implants or other dental treatments. After your extraction, Dr. Kaeley will continue with the rest of your restorative treatment plan. You'll gain back a full and healthy smile.
  • Gum Grafts - Gum grafts help restore gum tissue you may have lost due to recession. Dr. Kaeley uses tissue from your own mouth or donor tissue to restore your gumline. You will enhance your smile's appearance, prevent further recession, and gain better overall oral health.
