The frenum is a soft tissue that connects two oral tissues like the lips to the gums or the tongue to the bottom of the mouth. Sometimes these attachments are too tight and could cause discomfort or speech issues. We can utilize our laser to help free up these attachments!

When the tooth cannot be saved due to severely compromised tooth structure or surrounding bone, a tooth extraction is necessary. We always strive to minimize stress to adjacent teeth and structure to reduce post operative pain.

After an extraction, bone grafting/site preservation is often recommended to help preserve bone structure. This is imperative to help prevent bone loss as a result of remodeling of bone after a tooth is removed. This is very important when considering an implant in the future to replace the missing space.

An alveoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths out bony protrusions. At times this is necessary to ensure a smooth transition and proper fit of a denture or partial.
