Full-Arch Tooth Replacement Solutions
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, Center for Advanced Periodontics and Implant Dentistry offers transformative treatment options that restore function and confidence. Our periodontists specialize in full-arch restorations that provide permanent, natural-looking results.
| • |
All-on-4 Treatment - All-on-4 implants use four strategically angled implants to support a complete arch of fixed teeth, often without bone grafting.
|
| • |
Teeth in a Day - Teeth in a Day allows qualifying patients to receive a full set of temporary teeth on the same day as implant placement.
|
| • |
Denture Conversion - We can convert existing dentures to implant-supported bridges for improved stability and comfort.
|
| • |
Implant-Retained Dentures - Implant retained dentures snap onto implants for patients who prefer a removable option with enhanced security. |
Individual Tooth Replacement
When one or a few teeth are missing, dental implants provide the most natural replacement option. Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering healthy adjacent teeth and help preserve jawbone density at the site of tooth loss.
Our implant services include:
| • |
Single Tooth Implants - A single tooth implant replaces the root and crown of a missing tooth with a permanent, standalone restoration.
|
| • |
Multiple Tooth Implants - Multiple tooth implants replace several missing teeth using individual implants or implant-supported bridges.
|
| • |
Implant Placement - Our periodontists perform precise dental implant placement using 3D imaging for optimal positioning and outcomes. |
Treating and Preventing Gum Disease
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, yet many people are unaware they have it until significant damage has occurred. Our practice offers comprehensive periodontal therapy to treat gum disease at every stage and help patients maintain healthy gums for life.
Signs that may indicate gum disease include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. If you notice any symptoms of gum disease, early treatment can prevent progression and preserve your natural teeth.
Treatment options we offer include:
Rebuilding Bone and Gum Tissue
Tooth loss and gum disease can lead to deterioration of the jawbone and gum tissue. Center for Advanced Periodontics and Implant Dentistry offers regenerative procedures that rebuild these structures, creating the foundation needed for successful dental implants or improving the aesthetics of your smile.
Our regenerative services include:
| • |
Bone Grafting - Bone graft procedures add volume to areas where the jaw has deteriorated.
|
| • |
Sinus Lift - Sinus lift surgery creates space for implants in the upper jaw when bone height is insufficient.
|
| • |
Gum Grafting - Gum graft procedures cover exposed roots and restore healthy gum tissue.
|
| • |
Laser Regeneration - Laser assisted regeneration stimulates natural bone and tissue regrowth using advanced technology. |

What is the advantage of seeing a periodontist for dental implants?
Periodontists complete three additional years of specialized training focused on the gums, bone, and supporting structures of the teeth. This expertise is especially valuable for implant placement because periodontists can address bone deficiencies, treat gum disease, and handle complex cases that require regenerative procedures.
Can I get dental implants if I have gum disease?
Gum disease must be treated before dental implants can be placed, but it does not disqualify you from receiving implants. Our periodontists will first address any active periodontal disease and then evaluate your bone and gum tissue to determine if you are a candidate for implants or if preparatory procedures are needed.
Do I need a referral from my dentist to schedule an appointment?
No referral is required. While many patients are referred by their general dentist, you are welcome to contact Center for Advanced Periodontics and Implant Dentistry directly to schedule a consultation for dental implants or periodontal treatment. |
