When traditional periodontal surgery is required, there is typically an excess of soft tissue, the jawbone needs to be rebuilt or periodontal disease has reached its most severe stage. Early treatment is highly recommended.
We are focused on your comfort during the entire procedure and offer local anesthesia and even oral and IV sedation if needed.
