Gum Grafting

Gum grafting procedures help patients with gum recession. This treatment helps alleviate various issues associated with gum recession, such as teeth sensitivity, damage to gum tissue, and bone loss and eventual tooth loss. Gum grafting can protect teeth and their roots from decay and create a more even gumline.

Scaling And Root Planing

Scaling and root planing procedure is performed to treat gum diseases. It removes dental tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and smoothens the root surfaces by removing any infected tooth structure.

Regenerative Procedure

Complete oral rehabilitation may require regenerative procedures to get you the function and aesthetics you are looking for. These procedures can fall under the sub categories of Hard or Soft tissue regeneration or a combination of both. Our doctors are well versed in various different procedures and can provide you with an accurate assessment at a consult and after assessing your 3D reconstructed CT scan, intra oral pictures and clinical examination of your oral cavity.

At Apple Dental Specialist, you can be assured to find the right treatment suited to your case. Our doctors are well versed in all aspects of regenerative procedures, some of which are listed below.

Crown Lengthening

A crown lengthening procedure involves reshaping gum tissue, bone, or both to expose more of a tooth. Crown lengthening is a common procedure for patients with a “gummy smile,” where excessive gum tissue around upper teeth makes teeth appear short. This treatment is also for patients who need to fix a tooth that broke off at or below the gumline, or to replace a filling or a crown that fell out. Crown lengthening exposes more of the tooth surface and allows your dentist to remove the tooth decay underneath or to place a crown.

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Pocket reduction surgery is a standard treatment for patients with periodontal disease. This condition causes deterioration of gum tissue and bone along the gumline, resulting in the formation of “pockets” around the teeth. As these pockets become larger, more bacteria get around the teeth and under the gum tissue, leading to further loss of bone and gum tissue until the tooth is lost. If your pockets are too deep to clean with a routine cleaning procedure, you will need a pocket reduction surgery. During the surgery, your dentist will remove the bacteria from the pockets and the tartar from the surface of teeth roots.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are installed to replace teeth lost due to a disease or accident. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several teeth or to support other dental fixtures. They secure dentures and bridges in place and prevent them from shifting in your mouth, even when eating or talking. With dental implants, your dentures can feel more natural and comfortable compared to traditional ones, which often cause sore spots or have poor ridges. With implants, no adjacent teeth need to be ground down to hold artificial teeth in place.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

Extractions may be needed for patients with wisdom teeth. This may be done as a preventative procedure, or it may be performed because the teeth are infected or impacted. For patients with complex extraction cases, we offer various sedation options to help make it more comfortable.
