What Are Specialized Procedures at Prosper Periodontics & Dental Implants?

The following are some of the specialized procedures we offer:

Crown Lengthening: This specialized surgical procedure reshapes the gum and bone tissues to expose more of the tooth structure. It is often necessary when there isn’t sufficient tooth to accommodate a restoration or a crown. Crown lengthening can also correct a “gummy smile” where excessive gum tissues are visible compared to the tooth’s structure. The quick procedure creates a more balanced, symmetrical smile while lowering the risk of future tooth decay and gum disease.

Frenectomy: A frenectomy is a procedure designed to release a tongue or lip tie, typically caused by a short frenulum, a small piece of tissue that connects your tongue to the floor of the mouth or the upper lip to the gum tissues between your two front teeth. A tongue or lip tie can cause gum recession, lead to problems with feeding, speech, and oral hygiene, and cause dental health and alignment concerns. Releasing a tongue or lip tie can improve the tongue or lip’s range of motion, improving a patient’s oral health and quality of life.

Gum Contouring for Gummy Smiles: Gum contouring is a procedure that involves removing excess tissues around the teeth and reshaping your gum line. It is often recommended to address “gummy smiles” when excess gum tissue covers part of the teeth. Gum contouring delivers more uniform, symmetrical smiles, delivering dramatic transformations.

Sinus Lifts: A sinus lift is a surgical procedure designed to create space for successful implant placement for those with bone loss that extends into the sinus cavity. The procedure involves augmenting the deficient bone by placing a bone grafting material, which helps raise the sinus floor and create the space needed for dental implant placement.

Tooth Extraction with Socket Preservation/Ridge Augmentation: Socket preservation or ridge augmentation involves the placement of bone grafting material into a tooth’s socket directly after extracting a tooth. This helps preserve the bone density and integrity in the area, ensuring the success of future implant placement.

Tooth Exposure and Uncovery: The quick procedure involves the uncovering and exposure of a permanent tooth that has not erupted fully or is impacted in the gum and bone tissues. During the procedure, our skilled periodontist will make a small incision to allow the affected tooth to come in, preventing a host of complications.
