LANAP Treatment
LANAP is an FDA-approved laser treatment for gum disease that regenerates tissue while eliminating infection. This minimally invasive procedure reduces pain and recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Patients benefit from preserved tooth structure and improved systemic health outcomes through this advanced protocol.
Bone Regeneration
Our bone regeneration procedures restore jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or trauma. Using guided tissue regeneration and bone grafting, we prepare sites for dental implants while preventing further bone loss. These techniques promote natural healing and structural integrity for long-term oral health.
Gum Recession Treatment
We treat exposed tooth roots through connective tissue grafts and Emdogain applications. This prevents further recession while improving aesthetics and sensitivity issues. Our minimally invasive techniques use autogenous tissue or allografts to restore healthy gum lines and protect tooth structure.
Ridge Preservation
Post-extraction ridge preservation maintains bone volume for future implants. Using bone grafting and guided regeneration, we prevent ridge collapse and maintain facial aesthetics. This creates optimal conditions for implant placement while preventing adjacent tooth movement.
Dental Implants
We provide implant-supported solutions following comprehensive bone assessment. Our regenerative expertise ensures proper foundation preparation through sinus lifts and ridge augmentation. Implants restore function and aesthetics while preventing bone resorption through natural stimulation.

Report
Was very nervous about having to have a gum graft, but Dr. Chung patiently and thoroughly explained the procedure and did a terrific job. He and his Stamford office staff helped me file my insurance, pre-ordered necessary medications, called to make sure I was doing okay, and to remind me of upcoming appointments. He and his staff couldn't have been more gracious or more careful about following Covid protocols. Highly recommend.

Report
Just had a periodontal procedure which took the better part of nearly 2 hours. Dr. Chung and his nurse, Betsy, were fabulous, extremely thorough and explained in detail the procedure. I am very pleased that I was referred to him by my new dentist, Dr. Danielle Goodwin (another great find). Looking forward to follow up visit.

Report
I have bad genetic early receding and was about to lose my bottom front tooth and the surrounding three teeth as well. Dr. Chung came highly recommend as the professor of my dentist. Over the course of a year he performed a complex and delicate multi-step implant proceeded to replace the teeth. He partnered with a cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Schkovsky, and the results are incredible and gorgeous. Plus I never spent a single day without teeth. Definitely the best periodontist in Fairfield County!
