- Dental ExaminationDuring your initial consultation, Dr. Goggin will evaluate your unique situation through a full, comprehensive exam to determine what grafting or modification procedures are required. She will review options for your care and share her findings with your general dentist to support your overall treatment plan. Schedule an initial consultation below.
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYour consultation will include a comprehensive periodontal education and oral cancer screening, as well as necessary dental radiographs and a thorough periodontal evaluation. We will also take extraoral and intraoral photographs which aid us in treatment planning and evaluation.
- Teeth CleaningThe best ways to initially prevent the start of periodontal disease is to routinely brush and floss your teeth twice daily. It is also important to have routine preventative exams and cleanings with your general dentist so they can detect any areas of concern early on in the disease process. Avoiding certain habits, like smoking, can also help lower your risk for developing periodontal disease.

- CrownsCrown lengthening is usually performed to improve the health of the gum tissue, prepare the mouth for a procedure, or correct a “gummy smile”. The procedure involves reshaping or recontouring the gum tissue and bone around the tooth in question to create a new gum-to–tooth relationship. Crown lengthening can be performed on a single tooth, many teeth, or the entire gum line.
- BridgesYour bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth like a turtleneck around your neck. Periodontal disease causes bone loss around teeth, which can increase the chances for tooth loss. Once a tooth has been lost, the supporting jaw bone will disappear over time. However, simple techniques are now available to regrow lost bone, provide support for dental implants, or to improve esthetics beneath a fixed bridge.
- Restorative DentistryThe first step in the dental implant process is the development of an individualized treatment plan. The plan addresses your specific needs and is prepared by a team of professionals who are specially trained and experienced in surgery and restorative dentistry. This team approach provides coordinated care based on the implant option that is best for you.
- Periodontal SurgeryThe following conditions may occur after periodontal surgery or dental implant placement, all of which are considered normal...
- Deep Cleaning( tartar), bacterial toxins, and etiological agents that cause inflammation to the gum tissue and surrounding bone deeper pockets, inflammation leading to further loss of bone and soft tissue. The goal of scaling and root planning is to eliminate disease and return the supporting structures of the teeth to a healthy state that can be maintained by home care and professional periodontal maintenance appointments.
- DenturesReplacing all your teeth: If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them.
- Dental ImplantsToday, it is often possible to re-grow or regenerate bone where we need it for the support of dental implants. This, in turn, gives us the opportunity to more effectively restore esthetics and function to their natural state. Bone grafts can be from your own bone, tissue bank, or synthetic materials. The goal of each of these treatment options is to stimulate the body to grow new bone or to hold the space for the bone to regenerate into.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsThis regenerative technology lends itself to a technique called ridge preservation. This is the careful management of sockets after tooth extraction with the goal of preventing unsightly bone indentations or “defects” and a better cosmetic outcome of tooth replacement.
- Ridge AugmentationRidge Augmentation is a technique used to restore the lost bone dimension when the jaw ridge gets too thin to place conventional implants. In this procedure, the bony ridge of the jaw is literally expanded by mechanical means. Bone graft material can be placed and matured for a few months before placing the implant.
- Bone GraftingPeriodontal disease is the leading cause of bone loss in the oral cavity. A bone grafting procedure is an excellent way to replace lost bone tissue and encourage natural bone growth. Bone grafting is a versatile and predictable procedure which fulfills a wide variety of functions.
