At your full time periodontal practice in
Hermosa Beach, California you offer services
such as Preventive and Maintenance Care,
Periodontal Scaling and Root Planning, and
Corrective Periodontal Surgery. Are there other
services that you provide, and are there services
that are more sought amongst your clientele? Yes, in addition I perform Implant surgical
procedures, which include dental implant
placement,
minor
sinus
lifts,
bone
augmentation, treatment of peri- implant
disease, and cosmetic periodontal procedures
such as root coverage and periodontal plastic
surgery. I have several clients who are seeking
these additional services. When it comes to
dental implants we always strive to save the
natural dentition first wherever possible, as
indeed teeth have many biological benefits over
implants. Several patients come to the office
seeking cosmetic root coverage procedures,
such as the “Pinhole Procedure”. We do these
where indicated as long as the patients fully
understand the benefit and limitations.
