Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that mimic natural teeth in function and appearance. Our specialists use osseointegration technology to anchor implants directly into the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure. Patients benefit from improved comfort, speech, and chewing ability compared to traditional dentures or bridges.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting procedures restore receded gum tissue to protect tooth roots and improve aesthetics. We offer connective tissue grafts and minimally invasive Pinhole Surgical Techniques, using donor or autogenous tissue to strengthen thin gums and cover exposed root surfaces while minimizing post-operative discomfort.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone volume to support dental implants or treat periodontal defects. Techniques include ridge augmentation, socket preservation, and sinus lifts using cadaver or synthetic bone materials. This creates stable foundations for implants and prevents further bone deterioration following tooth loss.
Cone Beam Imaging
Cone beam CT scans provide detailed three-dimensional images of oral structures for precise treatment planning. This technology enables accurate implant placement, detects hidden dental issues, and evaluates bone quality with minimal radiation exposure, enhancing diagnostic confidence and procedural success rates.
Periodontal Treatments
Comprehensive periodontal care addresses gum disease through scaling/root planing, LANAP laser therapy, and surgical interventions. We focus on eliminating infection, reducing pocket depths, and regenerating lost tissue to preserve natural teeth and maintain systemic health connections.

I have been a patient for many years and this is the only place I will go. Gale is an absolutely fantastic Dental Hygienist and the only person I will go to. She is thorough, attentive to my comfort, friendly and professional. Chris at the front desk is wonderful. Always going above and beyond to help with my numerous questions. Katie, the dental assistant is so bubbly, kind and makes me feel special whenever I see her.

Dr. Poore is an incredible Periodontist and has done an excellent job in getting my mouth healthy and continues to ensure my teeth stay well taken care of. Having dental work is usually not something anyone looks forward to but I actually look forward to my visits. The services and wonderful staff are top notch. I highly recommend to everyone.
