Soft Tissue Grafting

Many factors can contribute to tissue loss resulting in long, unaesthetic looking teeth, black triangles between teeth, increased sensitivity, and loss of tooth support. AlloDerm RTM affords patients the opportunity to restore and augment tissues both predictably and esthetically, with far greater comfort than other graft techniques.

Alloderm RTM maintains tissue integrity and supports regeneration by allowing rapid revascularization, cell repopulation, and a minimal inflammatory response resulting in strong new tissues. Dr. Gantos uses only the most advanced tunneling technique for optimal results and reduced postoperative complications. We also ensure all of our patients are educated on how to maintain their results for a lifetime!

Permanent Gum Lifts

Short looking teeth and excessive pink tissues can be corrected permanently with virtually no downtime. This procedure is performed on patients as young as 16 and is very well-tolerated by all.

Through artistic reshaping with an esthetic eye, Dr. Gantos has transformed countless smiles. Esthetic crown-lengthening is a permanent solution to create a harmonious smile and instill greater confidence in patients. The results are dramatic and life-changing! We are happy to discuss your candidacy and determine if this procedure is a good choice to help you achieve your dream smile.

Lip Repositioning

Although Botox® can be used to correct a hyperactive or hypermobile lip, the need for repeat doses can become burdensome long term. Alternatively, most patients do not want invasive and costly surgical procedures to impact the upper jaw bone which can make for a difficult recovery. Fortunately, lip repositioning affords patients an easier and more comfortable permanent treatment solution.

Excessive gummy smiles and excess maxillary bone can be masked by changing the position of the upper lip. This procedure is performed quickly under local anesthesia and recovery is easily tolerated. The dramatic post-operative results are seen instantaneously! We are happy to discuss your candidacy and determine if this procedure is a good choice to help you achieve your dream smile.

Pocket Reduction Therapy

Untreated periodontal disease has been linked to multiple systemic conditions that can negativity affect one's overall health. Controlling inflammation is paramount to total body wellness.

The presence of deep periodontal pockets harbors disease and creates inflammation within the body. Under local anesthesia, deep pockets can be thoroughly debrided and reduced into smaller, more cleansible areas. Through this therapy, we are able to target persistent trouble spots and create a healthier environment within the body.
