- Dental ExaminationDr. Moskowitz helps patients identify if they may have OSA using his 3D CT scanner, along with an oral examination and consultation with the patient. If sleep apnea is indicated, he will work with a medical doctor to get a sleep study done for an official diagnosis.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Teeth Cleaning® is an at-home treatment that complements the intensive periodontal cleanings that you receive at our office. The medications that are used with a Perio Tray® penetrate the gumline to help fight bacteria. Perio Protect is not always an alternative for traditional surgery for gum disease but, in many cases, it can reduce the need for surgery.
- VeneersIn addition to removing and recontouring gum tissue to provide a more aesthetic smile and evenly proportioned gumline, Dr. Moskowitz provides functional crown lengthening to expose more of the tooth surface in preparation for other cosmetic dental procedures, such as new crowns or porcelain veneers.
- CrownsReceding gums can cause many problems. Aesthetically, they elongate the appearance of the teeth and make a person look older than they really are—ever hear of somebody described as “long in the tooth?” In addition, the roots of teeth are softer and more susceptible to damage and infection than the harder, visible crown portion, which makes repairing receded gums a vital part of maintaining oral health, and not just oral aesthetics.
- Bridges
- Deep CleaningWe will clean your implant to eradicate the bacteria. For a mild case, we will do this with a deep cleaning; for a chronic infection, Dr. Moskowitz will use our sophisticated dental laser. The laser is gentle and treatment with it is comfortable for the patient. Diseased tissues are targeted and removed without disrupting healthy tissue.
- DenturesTraditional dentures have long been considered the go-to option for full-arch teeth replacement, but they are far from an ideal solution for many reasons. One of the main drawbacks is the minimal chewing power traditional dentures provide. Not being able to fully chew one’s food can also lead to other health problems. Food that is under-chewed sits in the digestive tract and causes irritation. The nutrients in under-chewed food cannot be absorbed well, and this can lead to colitis and problems with digestion.
- Dental ImplantsDr. Moskowitz’s primary goal is to save a patient’s natural teeth whenever possible, but if a tooth or teeth are beyond the point of saving—or are already missing—he provides dental implants as the ideal replacement solution. Implants look and function exactly like your natural teeth and, with proper care, they can last your lifetime.

- Gum SurgeryIf you are suffering from periodontal disease and would like to learn more about osseous gum surgery, call 410-744-6088 to schedule a consultation at our Catonsville, MD office.
- Osseous SurgeryPeriodontal osseous surgery can halt the progress of infection in the deeper areas of the gums. It can also reinforce structural support around the teeth, thereby increasing a patient’s chances of keeping their natural teeth. This is the goal that Dr. Moskowitz works towards.
- Tooth Extractions
- Bone GraftingWhen needed, Dr. Moskowitz can even use gum and bone grafting techniques to rebuild tissue that has been lost to the disease, providing a stable foundation for teeth to remain healthy and firmly in place.
- OrthodonticsTraditional methods of straightening teeth involve moving just your actual teeth. Accelerated orthodontics uses a technique where the doctor will gently create vertical grooves in the gums and outer edge of bone between your teeth. The purpose of this procedure is to allow the gums and bone to move along with the teeth, resulting in faster teeth straightening.
- BracesSometimes teeth need orthodontic treatment to get them into their proper place, but the teeth have failed to properly emerge from the gums enough for braces to be attached. Dr. Moskowitz gently uncovers unerupted teeth from the gums so that an orthodontist can bring the teeth into correct alignment.
