Key services offered by Cook Periodontics & Dental Implants include: Dental Implants: A primary focus of the practice, dental implants are offered as a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth, whether single or multiple. They emphasize the long-term benefits of implants in preserving facial contours and preventing bone loss. Periodontal Disease Treatment: From non-surgical therapies like scaling and root planing to advanced surgical options, they address all stages of gum disease. The LANAP® laser therapy is a highlight for its effectiveness and patient comfort. Bone Grafting/Regeneration and Sinus Elevation: These procedures are crucial for patients who require additional bone structure to support dental implants or other restorative treatments. Periodontal Soft Tissue & Cosmetic Surgery: This includes procedures like gingival (gum) grafting to cover exposed roots and crown lengthening to improve the aesthetics of a "gummy" smile or to prepare teeth for restorative work. Sedation Dentistry: Recognizing that many patients experience anxiety related to dental visits, Cook Periodontics & Dental Implants offers various sedation options, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV conscious sedation, to ensure a comfortable and relaxed experience. Ridge Preservation and Augmentation: Techniques to maintain and build up the bone ridge after tooth extraction.
