Services
Periodontal Disease Treatment
We provide comprehensive treatment for periodontal disease through scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery, and regenerative procedures. Our approach focuses on eliminating infection, restoring gum health, and preventing disease progression. Patients receive personalized maintenance plans to ensure long-term periodontal stability.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services include single and multiple tooth replacement using titanium posts integrated with jawbone tissue. We utilize advanced imaging for precise placement and offer bone regeneration when needed. Implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth with natural appearance and function.
Bone Grafting
We perform bone augmentation procedures to strengthen jaw structure for implant placement or to reverse bone loss from periodontal disease. Techniques include socket preservation, sinus lifts, and ridge expansion using autogenous or synthetic grafting materials.
Crown Lengthening
This procedure adjusts gum and bone levels to expose more tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes. We use minimally invasive techniques to create optimal conditions for crowns or improve smile aesthetics through gum contouring.
Advanced Imaging
Our I-CAT Cone Beam CT system provides high-resolution 3D imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This technology enables precise implant placement, detects hidden pathology, and evaluates complex periodontal conditions with reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans.

Dr. Gross is professional and a perfectionist. His attention to detail is amazing. He truly cares about his patients. I am having extensive dental work done. The pain has been minimal when I expected much more. I wouldn't use any other periodontist. I've been coming to this office for over 30 years. Highly recommend Howard Gross!

The doctor is very professional and polite. However, the lady named Elsa, is very unprofessional and disrespectful. So, for that reason. I will not proceed with the treatment.

Dr. Gross is a compassionate and extremely knowledgeable periodontist. He's done extensive work on me and helped save my teeth, as well as putting in implants. He takes time to explain what he will do. He's even called me at home to check on me after procedures. His front desk and dental techs are a wonderful group, always cheerful and ready to help as well. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Gross is a personable periodontist who does excellent work. Tooth replacement isn't fun, but Dr. Gross and his staff make the process comfortable and such that it won't need to be redone in the future.
