Services
Dental Implants
We specialize in dental implants as permanent solutions for missing teeth. Our board-certified periodontist uses advanced techniques like titanium and zirconium implants to ensure natural-looking results. With three years of specialized residency training, Dr. Gay precisely places implants while considering bone volume, nerve locations, and bite alignment. This service helps patients restore chewing function, prevent bone loss, and improve self-confidence through complete smile restoration.
Gum Disease Treatments
Our comprehensive gum disease treatments address infections from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Using methods like scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and gum grafting, we eliminate bacterial buildup and restore tissue health. Dr. Gay's expertise in inflammation research informs personalized treatment plans that consider each patient's overall health. These interventions help prevent tooth loss, reduce systemic health risks, and maintain the foundation for successful dental implants when needed.
Oral Surgery
We perform specialized oral surgeries including tooth extractions, bone grafting, and sinus lifts. Our approach combines three years of surgical residency training with advanced imaging technology to ensure precise interventions. These procedures create optimal conditions for dental implants while managing complications like insufficient bone volume. Patients benefit from minimized recovery times through techniques like guided tissue regeneration and immediate implant placement following extractions.
Sedation Dentistry
Our sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral pill sedation, help patients receive necessary treatments comfortably. This service is particularly valuable for complex procedures or anxious individuals. Dr. Gay's certification in dental anesthesiology ensures safe administration while maintaining patient awareness during critical moments. Sedation enables completion of extensive treatments in fewer visits while maintaining high safety standards through continuous monitoring.
Periodontal Maintenance
We provide customized periodontal maintenance programs to preserve treatment results. These regular cleanings and check-ups prevent disease recurrence and monitor implant health. Our hygiene team specializes in managing both natural teeth and dental implants through tailored intervals based on individual risk factors. This proactive approach helps maintain oral health, prevents complications, and extends the longevity of restorative treatments while ensuring early detection of potential issues.

Dr. Gay has been my dentist for years. She has fixed my teeth a few times and her work is top notch and totally pain-free. I have been to many dentists in the past and she is hands down the best. If you are looking for a great dentist in South West Florida.give her a call.

How does one grade a dentist? Usually pain is the criteria. There is a unique soothing manner to Dr. Denise Gay. No BS. a sense of professional caring is immediately felt. Kinda cool. This soft professionalism pervades the staff. Most are very reassuring. Dr. Gay recaps all with you at the end of your procedure. I wish she would offer a 25% discount to veterans. LOL I have been to many dentists over the years. Denise is the best.

If I could give Dr. Gay and her staff 10 stars I would. I just had my teeth cleaned for the first time in a while and I have been extremely self conscious of my mouth/smile after getting 9 teeth extracted at another facility. Dr. Gay and her staff went above and beyond what I expected. They were gentle and caring while cleaning and most important honest throughout the whole appointment. I will be back in 5 months for another cleaning and plan on returning for dental surgery to finish what the original Facility did not. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
