Periodontists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. You may have been referred to a periodontist in Connecticut after your general dentist diagnosed you with periodontal disease. However, periodontists can provide a range of other specialized dental services including dental implants, bone grafts, and tooth extractions. At Holzinger Periodontics & Dental Implants, we can help you meet many of your complex dental needs.

We offer a wide range of periodontal and dental implant-related services, including:

Dental Implants - Dental implants are the ideal solution for missing teeth, as dental implants can serve as a permanent replacement and help preserve natural tooth spacing.

Crown Lengthening - Crown lengthening can help to make your teeth look longer by removing gum tissue or bone material.

Gum Grafting - A gum graft can help reverse receding roots and help to keep teeth protected.

Bone Grafting - For dental implants, sometimes a bone graft is necessary to have enough material to securely place a dental implant.

Bone Regeneration - This process leverages your body’s own bone regeneration ability to improve the bone quality around your existing teeth.

Ridge Preservation - It is possible to rebuild your jaw bone after tooth extraction by using a special regenerative bone graft material.

Extractions - Sometimes tooth extractions are necessary if other measures cannot help to restore or save it.

Biopsy - A biopsy might be required to complete an oral pathology evaluation of any abnormalities, sores, or discolored spots on your gums.

Periodontal Maintenance Program - This specialized dental cleaning can help to keep your teeth free of tartar and build up.

Scaling and Root Planing - Scaling and root planing is an important step in the management of early periodontal disease. The process removes calculus or tartar from your teeth.
