Cosmetic Surgery

Periodontal cosmetic surgery refers to changing the way your gums frame your smile. Just as the beauty of a painting is influenced by the frame, the appeal of your smile is influenced by your gums. Cosmetic surgery is utilized to raise, lower, or recontour the shape of your gingiva. With these techniques, you can determine the first impression that your smile makes on others. The asymmetries of your smile that are determined by your gums can be corrected to create a pleasing appearance.

Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to restore your ability to smile, speak or eat with comfort and confidence, then dental implants may be right for you. Dental implants are artificial substitutes for natural tooth roots. These substitutes are placed in the bone. Then replacement teeth are attached to a part of the implant that projects through the gum. Your dentist or Dr. Dyer can help you decide if a dental implant is right for you

Ridge Augmentation

The body tends to work on a use it or lose it principle. Lack of exercise results in flabby muscles. Lack of teeth results in a progressive deterioration (atrophy) of your jaw bone. Gum disease can also result in the loss of bone. This bone loss can result in sunken ridges that make dental bridge work look very artificial. Ridge atrophy can also prevent a denture from being functional or comfortable. Today, Dr. Dyer utilizes techniques that can restore the bone and soft tissue of your dental ridges.
