Dr. Dubravec, often joined by Dr. Amanda Piche, leads a team dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care. Their services encompass a full range of periodontal procedures, including: Dental Implants: As a core focus, they specialize in the surgical placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth, offering solutions that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. This includes procedures like All-on-4 and All-on-6 for full arch restoration. Periodontal Surgery: This includes various surgical interventions for gum disease, such as pocket reduction surgery, regenerative procedures, and corrective gum surgery. Bone Grafting and Tissue Regeneration: Essential for patients with bone loss due to periodontal disease or tooth extraction, these procedures help rebuild and restore bone and soft tissue structures to support teeth or dental implants. Gum Grafting: Addressing gum recession, these procedures involve taking tissue from another area of the mouth or using donor tissue to cover exposed tooth roots, improving aesthetics and reducing sensitivity. Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy: This includes procedures like scaling and root planing, which are deep cleaning methods to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth the tooth root to prevent further bacterial accumulation. Oral Medicine: Diagnosis and management of various medical conditions affecting the mouth and facial areas, including TMJ disorders, oral infections, and salivary gland issues. The practice emphasizes a patient-centered approach, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to individual needs and that patients are well-informed throughout their journey.
