Our Periodontal Services
Comprehensive periodontal care under one roof
This essential treatment eliminates bacterial colonies hiding beneath your gum line where regular brushing cannot reach. Our ultrasonic instruments combined with meticulous hand scaling create pristinely clean root surfaces, giving Capitol Hill patients the fresh start needed for optimal gum healing.
Revolutionary LANAP technology transforms periodontal surgery into a comfortable, scalpel-free experience. This FDA-cleared laser selectively removes diseased tissue while stimulating regeneration, allowing Capitol Hill’s busy professionals to return to work immediately with minimal discomfort.
Bone and Tissue Regeneration
Receding gums compromise both aesthetics and tooth stability. Our precise grafting techniques restore protective tissue coverage using minimally invasive methods that blend seamlessly with your natural gum line, protecting exposed roots while enhancing your smile.
Leveraging extensive surgical expertise and 3D planning technology, we achieve a 97% implant success rate. Whether replacing a single tooth or securing full-arch restorations, our periodontal foundation ensures implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
