- Non-surgical management of gum disease (periodontitis), helping to control infection and prevent further damage to the gums and supporting bone.
- Surgical management of gum disease (periodontitis), used to access deeper areas of infection and improve long-term gum health.
- Gum grafting, where tissue is added to areas of gum recession to protect tooth roots and improve appearance.
- Bone grafting, where bone material is placed in areas affected by periodontal bone loss to help support teeth and encourage regeneration.
- Guided tissue regeneration, which encourages the re-growth of lost bone and supporting tissues damaged by periodontal disease.
- Crown lengthening, involving the reshaping of gum and sometimes bone tissue to expose more of a tooth for restorative or cosmetic treatment.
- Dental implant placement, involving the surgical insertion of implants to replace missing teeth and restore function.
- Infection around implants (peri-implantitis), which can lead to bone loss and implant failure if left untreated.
