Our Services
Scaling and Root Planing
Also referred to as a “deep cleaning,” scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal therapy used to treat the early stages of gum disease. This thorough procedure removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to promote healing and reattachment of the gums. We perform scaling and root planing with precision and care to help stop the progression of gum disease, reduce inflammation, and support long-term oral health.
Periodontal Maintenance
After treatment for gum disease, routine periodontal maintenance is essential for preserving the health of your gums and preventing recurrence. These specialized cleanings go beyond standard dental hygiene visits to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gum line, helping to control inflammation and maintain periodontal stability. We tailor your maintenance schedule to your specific needs, ensuring continued support for your oral and overall health.
Gum Grafting
Soft tissue grafting is an effective procedure to restore receding gums and safeguard exposed tooth roots. By replenishing lost gum tissue, gum grafts help reduce sensitivity, prevent further gum recession, and enhance the overall health of your mouth. In addition to its protective benefits, soft tissue grafting improves the appearance of your smile by creating a more even and natural gum line. Dr. Baran provides expert care with a focus on both function and aesthetics to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Bone Grafting
Regenerative bone grafting is a specialized procedure designed to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, supporting successful dental implant placement or restoring bone loss caused by advanced gum disease. Using precise techniques and high-quality grafting materials, Dr. Baran helps restore the natural contours and integrity of your jawbone. This treatment not only enhances the foundation for durable implant restorations but also contributes to improved oral health and facial structure.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening is a precise procedure that exposes more of your natural tooth by reshaping the surrounding gum tissue and underlying bone. This treatment is often performed to improve the aesthetics of your smile or to provide adequate tooth structure for restorative procedures such as crowns or bridges. Dr. Baran ensures a balanced, harmonious gum line that enhances both the function and appearance of your teeth.
Laser Gum Treatment
We utilize state-of-the-art laser technology to gently remove infected gum tissue and stimulate healing for patients affected by periodontal disease. This minimally invasive approach allows for precise treatment with reduced discomfort, faster recovery times, and improved clinical outcomes. Dr. Baran employs laser therapy as part of a comprehensive periodontal care plan to effectively manage gum disease and promote long-term oral health.
