It is a common misconception that a cosmetic dentist simply focusses on whitening teeth and creating gorgeous smiles. The reputation is well deserved because this is the glamorous side of cosmetic dentistry and the possibilities for creating the perfect smile are endless. However, there are many additional ways that a specialist can help patients restore damaged teeth and replace missing ones.
The Perio & Implant Center of the Monterey Bay specializes in treating complex dentistry issues. This goes beyond simply cleaning teeth to performing in-depth oral surgeries. Additionally, they use the latest in modern dental technology to improve the patient experience and overall results. For example, laser dentistry is used to conduct in-depth cleanings of gum pockets in order to address gum disease.
As an experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Pechak, can provide the procedures patients need to address their oral health issues and to regain the functionality of a completely healthy mouth. Here are some of the procedures that he performs at the Perio & Implant Center.
- Sedation Dentistry. Dr. Pechak uses sedation dentistry in combination with other procedures to ensure that patients feel completely comfortable and relaxed during their treatments. When necessary patients may even be asleep.
- Plastic Surgery of the Gums. He performs a variety of procedures to restore gums that have become damaged due to gum disease or gum recession. This includes gum grafts and Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation.
- Bone Grafts. When the jawbone has become damaged due to infection or deteriorated due to age, Dr. Pechak can conduct a bone graft to restore the missing bone.
- Sinus Lift. This is often used in combination with an implant procedure. When the bone above the roots of the upper teeth has deteriorated, a sinus graft can restore and strengthen the bone so that the existing teeth and roots are not in danger of falling out, and implants can be placed as needed.
- Dental Implants. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Pechak can restore missing teeth by placing a permanent dental implant in place of the natural tooth. By implanting a metal post underneath the gum line and securing it to the jawbone the new tooth will be completely durable and stand on its own without the assistance of the surrounding teeth.
These are only some of the procedures performed at the Perio & Implant Center. This type of dental work goes far beyond addressing the appearance of a person’s smile. Many of the procedures like dental implants will improve a person’s physical appearance but more importantly they improve oral health. Things like dental implants make it possible for patients to enjoy their favorite foods again and speak normally. Bone grafts and sinus lifts make the entire jawbone more stable which promotes healthy teeth and can prevent tooth loss in general. Laser dentistry can help to restore gums to good health. All of these procedures and more are done by experienced cosmetic dentist, Dr. Pechak. If you have an oral health concern visit a dentist that is experienced and can provide you with a variety of procedural options.
