Treatments & Techniques

Some of the treatments and techniques we use, explained in plain language. If you have questions about whether a particular option fits your situation, we are happy to talk it through.

✦Implant & Bone Techniques

Methods used to place implants and rebuild the bone that supports them.

Osseodensification

An implant drilling technique that compacts bone instead of removing it, helping preserve bone and support implant stability.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR)

Rebuilding lost jawbone with a bone graft and a protective membrane so an implant has enough support.

Sinus augmentation (sinus lift)

Adding bone beneath the sinus in the upper jaw so implants can be placed in the upper back teeth when bone is thin.

L-PRF (leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin)

A material made from a small sample of the patient’s own blood, placed at the surgical site to support healing.

Full-arch implant rehabilitation

Replacing all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed set of teeth anchored on several implants.

✦Full-Mouth Care

When more than one area of the mouth needs attention.

Full-mouth rehabilitation

Rebuilding the teeth throughout the mouth with a combination of treatments such as crowns, implants, and veneers to restore function and appearance.

Minimally invasive dentistry

Treatment that preserves as much natural tooth structure as possible.

✦Comfort & Safety

Options that help you feel at ease and stay safe during treatment.

Oral conscious sedation

Medication taken by mouth before treatment to help anxious patients relax; the patient stays awake and responsive.

SMART (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique)

A protocol that uses isolation, suction, and protective measures to reduce mercury exposure when removing old silver (amalgam) fillings.
