- Dental ExaminationYour first visit to our practice will include an introduction to our team members and a periodontal exam. This can be completed with little or no discomfort and we may also take a set of digital x-rays for your files. This is an ideal time to discuss your concerns and goals with one of our experienced doctors.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningYour first visit may be longer than regular check-up visits because we will need some time to get to know you and review your medical and dental health history. The first visit will include a thorough examination to determine whether you have bone loss, loose teeth, or issues with your bite. We can also perform an oral cancer screening during this visit.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Fillings
- CrownsJaw misalignment can cause a number of oral health issues and may be the reason why you experience bouts of neck pain, tooth pain, or TMJ symptoms. We can fix your bite so that the teeth come together properly and will make sure any fillings, crowns, bridges, and other dental treatments are not triggering the problem.

- Flap SurgeryOsseous surgery, also known as flap surgery, may be necessary for patients that have moderate or advanced gum disease. The procedure reduces the depth of the pockets by lifting away gum tissue from the tooth and underlying bone. The surface of the teeth can then be cleaned of tartar and plaque buildup relatively easily.
- Gum SurgeryPST™ offers numerous benefits to the patient and can be an attractive alternative to gum surgery. If you are self-conscious about receding gums, talk to Dr. Brand Ahn about this minimally-invasive gum recession treatment. Some of the key benefits of this procedure include...
- Osseous SurgeryWe use advanced technology and modern dentistry practices to ensure our patients receive a high level of care. If you need treatment for gum disease, osseous surgery, a gum grafting procedure, or dental implants, you can count on our specialists to help you achieve your goals. Our doctors complete continuing education courses to stay up-to-date on the latest practices and procedures so they can provide patients with a high level of care.
- Tooth ExtractionsWe can perform simple or surgical tooth extractions at our office if you have fractured or damaged teeth, severe gum disease that has affected your teeth, or crowded teeth. Teeth may also be extracted for cosmetic reasons. Removing your natural teeth because of an infection or decay is a last resort if other treatment methods have failed.
- Bone GraftingBone grafting treatments are surgeries that require a recovery period as the bone and tissues heal and fuse together. We can accelerate this healing process, assist your body in its own natural recovery, and shorten the length of healing time after surgery by using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This biomaterial is derived from a sample of your own blood, which is already rich in platelets and growth factors that aid in wound healing. When spun in a centrifuge, the blood separates into white and red blood cells and platelets. The resulting fibrin membrane is full of proteins and growth factors that will help the soft tissues and bone at the site heal quickly and healthier. PRF also aids in the regeneration of bone and tissues and is incredibly safe since it’s derived from your own blood, and reduces the risk for infection and complications after surgery.
- Teeth WhiteningWe offer Biolase in-office laser whitening system. The difference in the Biolase system is in the laser technology. The laser light is quicker and provides great results, as opposed to the blue simple light that is most commonly used in dental offices.
- General DentistryWe will be working closely with your general dentist to ensure you are getting the comprehensive care you need. If you end up needing general dentistry procedures such as crowns or fillings, your regular dentist will provide them. Visiting your dentist regularly is also an important part of your periodontal maintenance plan.
