:: Diagnostic Testing & Evaluation ::
We can employ advanced testing to identify specific types of infections that will help to determine the best pharmacological course of action. Genetic testing provides us with information to determine if the patient is at any greater risk of disease susceptibility.

 

:: Dental Implants ::
Implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available in the dental profession. Many patients choose dental implants over other procedures because the results are very natural in appearance and offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. We will use a number of techniques to analyze your specific situation and determine if dental implants may be right for you.

 

:: Pockets/Periodontal Disease/Gingivitis/Pyorrhea ::
Gum disease is a bacterial infection that results in changes in the gums and in the bone that support the teeth. Big City Dental offers a number of treatments to control and eliminate gum disease.

• Oral Hygiene Instruction. We will provide you with the information and instructions for your own role in follow-up care.
• Scaling and Root Planing. A deep cleaning utilizing local anesthesia can remove toxins on the root surface to allow the gum tissues to return to a healthier state.
• Antibiotic therapy. If necessary we can start you on a therapy treatment using a number of effective antibiotics.
• Periodontal Pocket Reduction Surgery. Gum disease and the associated changes to your gums and bone create 'pockets' around your teeth that can harbor bacteria. These pockets are impossible to clean by brushing and flossing. We can perform a minor surgical procedure that will allow access to the root surfaces to maximize cleansability. This result of this procedure is often the elimination of the pockets and a return to periodontial health.
