Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  Adults over the age of 35 lose more teeth to periodontal (gum) diseases than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. The best way to prevent cavities and periodontal disease is by daily thorough tooth brushing and flossing techniques and regular professional examinations and cleanings. Unfortunately, even with the most diligent home dental care, people still can develop some form of periodontal disease. Once this disease starts, professional intervention is necessary to prevent its progress. For those at high risk for developing or worsening periodontal disease, Dr. Gordon, in addition to surgical therapy, may recommend professional cleanings on a more frequent basis. Rather than 2 cleanings a year, they may recommend 3-4 cleanings a year in order to arrest any active disease and to monitor any problematic areas.

Prosthodontics

• Dentures
  For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves a single surgical procedure. The implants are placed within your jawbone and allowed to heal for anywhere from 3-6 months. During this healing period, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. During this time, you should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet. Once the implants have fully integrated into the jawbone, your dentist will then take impressions to begin fabricating the final restorations.
