Learn about
Sinus Lift
Sinus lifts are typically performed by gently raising the floor of your sinuses, and adding bone material to increase height and volume. Increasing the quality and quantity in this way gives your future implants the solid support they need to stay healthy and strong.
You may benefit from sinus augmentation if you have:
Lost upper premolar or molar teeth
Bone loss from periodontal disease

Impacted Teeth
Teeth that are trapped within the jaw bone or gum tissue and unable to erupt are called “impacted teeth.” Full and partially impacted teeth often threaten the health of surrounding bone, gums, nerves and even neighboring teeth. Diagnosing these potentially problematic areas early on is key to keeping your family happy and healthy. The canines and wisdom teeth are the most common types of tooth impactions. Identifying impacted teeth through x-rays as early as age seven is ideal for planning the best course of treatment.
Learn about
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a minor oral surgery procedure that treats lip- and tongue-ties. The small stretch of tissue connecting the lip to the gums and tongue to the floor of the mouth is called a “frenum.” At times, these muscular attachments are too short to enable proper oral function and development. Release or removal of a short frenum by a skilled oral surgeon ensures fast healing and optimal results for this delicate tissue.
Frenectomies are typically performed in pediatric patients. However, some adults benefit from this procedure as well. In children, we usually wait until the two front primary teeth have erupted before providing a lip frenectomy. Without treatment at any age, the risks of leaving a lip- or tongue-tie untouched include unwanted spacing between the two front teeth, risk of periodontal problems and oral pain or discomfort.
