Gum Disease Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease through non-surgical and surgical methods. Our approach includes scaling and root planing, antimicrobial treatments, and regenerative procedures to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss. Patients benefit from personalized care plans that address inflammation, infection, and tissue damage.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services replace missing teeth with durable, natural-looking solutions. Using titanium posts and advanced imaging technology, we ensure precise placement for optimal function and aesthetics. Patients regain confidence in chewing, speaking, and smiling while preserving jawbone structure.
Bone Grafts
We perform bone grafting to restore volume in areas affected by gum disease or tooth loss. This procedure creates a stable foundation for dental implants by stimulating new bone growth. Patients achieve successful implant integration and long-term oral health stability through this regenerative technique.
Sinus Elevation
Sinus elevation increases bone height in the upper jaw to support dental implants. We carefully lift the sinus membrane and add bone graft material to ensure implant stability. Patients with bone loss in the posterior maxilla can securely anchor implants for improved function and aesthetics.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening adjusts gum and bone tissue to expose more tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes. This procedure enhances smile aesthetics and provides sufficient tooth exposure for crowns or bridges. Patients achieve functional and visually balanced results with minimal discomfort.

Report
Easy to setup and have a short consult ($70), but after 5+ calls and emails in the week following the appointment, I have been unable to receive any response from their office (I have been trying to request a copy of the consult notes). Their voicemail box is also full - quite unprofessional. edit: Their office was coincidentally closed the week I tried to contact them. They fulfilled my request promptly once they returned. Recommended to change their voicemail greeting when the office is closed for vacation.

This is the first time in my entire existence that I seen a provider so uncaring for his patients. Greed is written all over his face. Terrible work, I don't recommend this orthodontics to anyone. All those great reviews, it must be from his staff. If you need orthodontic work looks else where, terrible place horrible dentist. He should be reviewed by the American Dental Association. I learned my lesson when I was told that this should be the last place to schedule an appointment for braces.
So many complaints by patients, I don't understand how this place is still open. If you have a complaint, I encourage you to speak up. This will help a lot of people and save them hard earned money. I have to press on the star in order to post, otherwise I'd given him a - 5 stars.

Remarkable doctor with tremendously helpful staff. This is how a dental office should run and treat its clients. they make visits there stress free. And thank you Dr. Ostrer for taking time to educate me on gum disease. She answers all questions & concerns with patience and detail. She is a perfectionist and she takes great care of her patients. From Gum grafting to implants, I can't imagine getting a higher level of quality care, than from this great team.
