Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed as small surgical posts that behave similarly to your natural tooth roots. They're placed directly into the jawbone where they integrate with your natural bone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Implants preserve facial structure, prevent bone deterioration, and allow you to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. Dr. Albani has extensive experience in implant placement and restoration, ensuring optimal results.

X

Periodontal Surgery

Periodontal surgery is recommended to effectively remove bacteria and tartar from around the teeth, reduce gingival pocket depth, restore lost tissue when possible, and halt disease progression. Dr. Albani utilizes precise surgical techniques to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease, helping to save teeth and preserve your natural smile. Following treatment, diligent home care and regular maintenance visits are essential for long-term success.

X

Cosmetic Procedures

Cosmetic periodontal procedures can dramatically improve your smile's appearance by addressing issues like uneven gum lines, excess gum tissue (gummy smile), or exposed tooth roots. Dr. Albani performs precise gum recontouring, crown lengthening, and gum grafting to create balanced, natural-looking smile aesthetics while maintaining healthy periodontal tissues.

X

Bone Rebuilding

When periodontal disease, tooth loss, or injury causes bone deterioration, Dr. Albani offers various bone rebuilding procedures including guided bone regeneration, ridge augmentation, and sinus lifts. These techniques help restore proper bone volume and density, creating an optimal foundation for dental implants and improving overall oral health and facial aesthetics.

X

Gingivitis Treatment

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by inflammation, redness, and bleeding when brushing or flossing. Dr. Albani provides thorough professional cleaning and personalized home care instructions to reverse gingivitis before it progresses to more serious periodontal disease. Early treatment is essential to prevent permanent damage to the supporting structures of your teeth.

X

Frenectomy

A frenum (also known as a frenulum) is a fold of tissue that can contain muscle fibers connecting movable soft tissue such as the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the fixed tissues next to the teeth and floor of the mouth. When a frenum is too tight or improperly positioned, it can affect oral function and dental development. Dr. Albani performs frenectomies to address these issues, improving function and comfort for patients of all ages.

X

Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment

Non-surgical periodontal therapy focuses on removing bacterial plaque and calculus from deep periodontal pockets through scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). This procedure, performed with local anesthesia for comfort, smooths root surfaces to promote healing and reattachment of gum tissue. Dr. Albani may also recommend antimicrobial rinses or localized antibiotic therapy to enhance treatment results.

X

Microplastic Gum Surgery

Microplastic gum surgery utilizes advanced techniques and specialized instruments to treat gum recession and other periodontal conditions with minimal discomfort and faster healing. These procedures often require smaller incisions and result in less post-operative sensitivity compared to traditional surgical approaches, while still providing excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Frenectomy

A frenum (also known as a frenulum) is a fold of tissue that can contain muscle fibers connecting movable soft tissue such as the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the fixed tissues next to the teeth and floor of the mouth. When a frenum is too tight or improperly positioned, it can affect oral function and dental development. Dr. Albani performs frenectomies to address these issues, improving function and comfort for patients of all ages.

3D CT Scanning

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems allow Dr. Albani to analyze and reconstruct 3D images of your oral structures with exceptional detail. This technology enables more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, particularly for dental implant placement, complex periodontal procedures, and evaluation of bone density and volume. The detailed images guide precise surgical approaches for optimal outcomes.

X

Bite Correction Therapy

Improper bite alignment can place excessive force on certain teeth, potentially contributing to periodontal problems, tooth mobility, and premature wear. Dr. Albani provides bite correction therapy to establish proper occlusal relationships, distributing biting forces evenly across your teeth. This may involve selective reshaping of tooth surfaces or the creation of a custom occlusal guard to protect your teeth and periodontal structures.

X

Sedation Dentistry

For patients experiencing dental anxiety or those undergoing extensive treatment, Dr. Albani offers sedation options to ensure maximum comfort throughout your procedure. Depending on your needs and medical history, various levels of sedation may be available to help you relax while receiving the periodontal care you need. Your comfort and safety are our priorities during every visit.
