Periodontics
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. Caught early, it's treatable. Caught late, it threatens everything. Periodontal care is not an afterthought here.

Benefits
The silent cause of tooth loss
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is the single leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Most cases develop painlessly, over years, until the supporting bone has been lost and teeth begin to shift or loosen. Regular cleanings, thorough periodontal exams, and early intervention keep gums healthy for life.
Procedures
Procedures under periodontics
Diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis, from mild to moderate cases.
Deep cleaning below the gumline, the primary non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease.
Laser-assisted reshaping of the gum line for aesthetic improvement or to prepare for cosmetic work.
Process Overview
How the process works
Comprehensive consultation & 3-D scan
We begin with a full oral exam, digital photographs, and a 3-D intra-oral scan (or CBCT if implants are involved). This records your bite, jaw relations, and esthetic goals, giving our lab exact data down to 20 µm accuracy.Tooth preparation & precision impressions
For crowns/bridges: supporting teeth are gently contoured to create space for the ceramic; margins are refined under high magnification.
For complete or partial dentures: we take a functional bite registration and border-mold impressions to capture muscle dynamics for a rock-steady fit.
Digital design & lab fabrication (7–14 days)
Your scan is imported into CAD/CAM software where the prosthesis is designed, milled from high-strength zirconia or layered porcelain, then custom-stained and glazed for lifelike translucency. For dentures, teeth are set in wax first for a mid-process esthetic preview.Try-in, fit check & shade verification
You preview the crown, bridge, or denture in your mouth. We verify bite, phonetics, lip support, and exact shade under natural and operatory light. Minor adjustments are made chairside or sent back to the lab for final tuning.Final placement & after-care fixed restorations are cemented or screw-retained with torque-controlled drivers; X-rays confirm perfect seating.
Removable prostheses are delivered with precision pressure-point checks to eliminate sore spots.
You receive a home-care kit, hygiene instructions, and a maintenance schedule—ensuring your new smile performs comfortably for years to come.
