For some patients (or prospective patients) 'seeing' the results of periodontal treatment can be very helpful.
While everyone is familiar with what general dentists do, they're less sure about what periodontists do.
Largely, periodontists like the ones at the Stuart Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, help patients overcome the issues related to periodontal disease (gum disease). They can also provide a number of advanced treatments for gum disease, tooth replacements (implants) and cosmetic dentistry surgery. You could also consider getting invisalign for that perfect smile you have always wanted.

Sub-Epithelial Connective Tissue Graft
This patient experienced many areas of gum recession, primarily on the upper and lower front teeth. This patient’s own tissue was used to correct the problem.
Free Gingival Graft
This mouth had recession on just one tooth with very little bone to support the tooth. The area needed support and thickness. The tissue was placed and the area now has thicker tissue to withstand the forces that the patient needs to place on it.
Alloderm Graft
Here you can see recession on the pre-molars. This root exposure causes sensitivity to hot, cold and brushing. This area was grafted with Alloderm. Alloderm does not require tissue from the patient’s mouth. With Alloderm, the patient had only one site to heal.
Crown Lengthening
This young patient was self-conscious about the appearance of her short teeth and gummy smile. Through crown lengthening and tooth whitening procedures, we were able to create a beautiful, more mature smile.
Smile Makeover
This patient had a very unattractive smile. Esthetic crown lengthening, orthodontics and restorative dentistry created a beautiful smile for this patient.
