Dental Implants
Our dental implant procedures restore missing teeth with titanium posts that integrate naturally with jawbone tissue. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, natural aesthetics, and long-term oral health solutions. We offer All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures for comprehensive tooth replacement options.
Laser Gum Treatment
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure treats periodontal disease with minimal discomfort and faster recovery. This FDA-approved method removes infected tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting natural gum regeneration without traditional surgical incisions.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We address aesthetic concerns through gum contouring, crown lengthening, and tissue reconstruction. Our techniques correct gummy smiles, exposed roots, and uneven gum lines to create harmonious, confidence-boosting smiles while maintaining periodontal health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Scharf for 10 years. He is so compassionate & caring. Today I went for my 3 month maintenance & had Kirsten for the first time. She was amazing, but yet so gentle & very thorough. Pat DiPadova

I was diagnosed with gum disease and thought my life was over. I'm a young woman in my mid 40's and thought my future was dentures. until I met Dr Scharf and his staff. I researched him for a few weeks and found myself up all hours of the night reading his reviews. I been through a few periodontists by this time and all wanted to perform traditional cut and stitch surgery but I was not convinced.
I was determined to find a better solution. I met with Dr Scharf who confirmed the lanap procedure was in fact for me and will help. I was very apprehensive and nervous but every one of the ladies in the office are so professional and pleasant they understand the difficult process and help you through it. This is why they stand out from every other office. Mary thank you for all of our chats and your sincere compassion was beyond expectations! Kristen - thank you for tolerating me during the process and listening to my jokes! Claudia thank you for being so attentive to me :- Dr Scharf I cannot thank you enough for restoring my gums! You are amazing! Thank you so much I look forward a long relationship with all of you KH

Dr. Scharf is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever met. He called the night before my consultation to introduce himself, and this simple courtesy helped ease the anxiety I normally feel visiting the dentist/periodontist. The consultation was clear, painless and provided new insight into my dental challenges. The practice's hygienist, Kristen, performed the Perioscope procedure on me, and I'm very pleased with the results. Both she and Dr. Scharf called me afterwards to make sure I was feeling okay. Highly recommended!
