  Dental Implants

  A tooth implant can provide better long term results for replacing missing teeth. Implants are surgically placed into the jaw bone so they are very secure. Implants are designed to mirror the tooth structure and stimulate the jaw bone which helps to prevent bone loss. Since they are made of titanium, they are also resistant to tooth decay.

  LANAP® Laser Treatment

  Every year, millions of Americans develop gingivitis that progresses to periodontal disease but only a small percentage end up seeking the treatment they need. Periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease, has been linked to a number of health issues including diabetes, pancreatic cancer, heart disease, and premature births. It is an epidemic around the United States and around the globe, but the majority of treatment options have been limited to procedures that involve cutting the gum tissue to access the infection. Now, patients have more options with the advancements in laser dentistry. The introduction of the PerioLase® MPV-7™ and LANAP® allows us to remove and kill bacteria that is residing deep under the gum line. The laser targets only the infected tissue and leaves healthy tissue behind. This means that patients enjoy less gum recession, minimal discomfort, and little to no sensitivity following the procedure.

  All-on-4 Dental Implants

  All-on-4 dental implants deliver results with just four dental implants that are placed for immediate function. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. Four implants are placed in the areas with the highest bone volume. After placement, a new or existing denture is used as a framework for a set of temporary teeth attached the same day. The bone fully integrates with the implants within three to six months. At this point, we can place your final set of teeth. The All-on-4 technique with Dr. Withers is designed to restore your smile with the placement of just four implants! These implants are made available for immediate use and do not require any bone grafting. They are an ideal solution for patients that have experienced bone loss or low bone density.

  Gum Recession Treatment

  Your teeth can be more sensitive when the gum tissue starts to wear away. Many people find that receding gums affect the quality of their smile and may become self-conscious when smiling as a result. Receding gums are one of the symptoms of gum disease and can also be a sign that there are some functional or mechanical issues related to your oral health. Gum recession occurs very gradually, and some people do not realize that there is a problem until their teeth become very sensitive or their teeth appear larger than normal. Since the gums do not grow back once they have receded, early treatment is essential for preserving your smile!

  Sedation Dentistry

  Many people avoid going to the dentist because they experienced traumatic care as a child, suffered painful procedures as an adult, or are influenced by the stereotypes they see on TV and movies. Even when they experience warning signs like pain in the mouth, many people avoid seeking treatment because of the fear they experience. At our office we understand these feelings and want to help. Whether you just need a routine cleaning or a brand-new smile, we offer sedation dentistry to make your experience comfortable and relaxing.
