Gum disease has been linked to a variety of health complications including heart disease and low birth-weight babies. Until now the majority of the treatment options available were invasive and painful. LANAP is minimally invasive and does not require the cutting or stitching of the gums!
Dental implants are now the generally preferred tooth replacement treatment over partial dentures and fixed bridges. Traditional treatments either rest on your gums, as with removable dentures, or rely upon adjacent teeth to serve as anchors for fixed bridges. Dental implants are placed into the jaw bone, offering a highly successful, long-term replacement option.
PST is an incision-free procedure that involves making a very small hole and special instruments to loosen the gum tissue and move it over the areas with gum recession. Many patients that undergo this procedure are surprised how simple and minimally invasive the entire process is, and PST™ may be just what you need to take care of receding gums and restore your smile.

Incision and suture free, laser removes bacteria with unparalleled precision and with less bleeding and inflammation than traditional gum surgery. It even encourages new bone development around existing teeth for a treatment unmatched by any other. For most people, there is no other alternative. Laser gum disease treatment is today’s top choice among patients and doctors.
Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth with a dependable, authentic looking smile. Nothing comes closer to mimicking real teeth than dental implants with Dr. Miller and Dr. Bounds. Dental implants are versatile. They can replace one tooth or all of your missing teeth and are good for your health. Unlike traditional dental appliances, dental implants are surgically placed in the jaw to stabilize and maintain bone density and preserve facial structure. Implants make eating, speaking, smiling, and living life with ease possible again. If you have lost teeth to gum disease, injury, or other problems, talk with us about dental implants. Even dentures and bridges can be made healthier and more stable with a few dental implants.
