Bone grafting is a procedure necessary when the jawbone has deteriorated to a stage where it no longer adequately supports existing or replacement teeth. The jawbone holds the roots of teeth in place and your teeth depend on the integrity of the bone to keep from shifting when you bite or chew. When a tooth is lost, the bone, which no longer serves the function of holding the root, begins to erode until it eventually creates a hollow cavity in your jawline.

Crown lengthening is performed to correct a smile where the teeth are covered with excess gum tissue. Crown lengthening exposes more of the natural tooth by reshaping or recontouring bone and gum tissue. This treatment can be performed on a single tooth, multiple teeth, or the entire gum line.

A tooth extraction is a dental procedure that removes a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are considered to be a last resort treatment and are only performed when one or more teeth poses a threat to your oral health.

There are two types of tooth extractions:
(1) A simple tooth extraction is performed on a tooth that is visible in the mouth and can be removed with forceps.
(2) A surgical tooth extraction is performed on a tooth that is not visible in the mouth and requires an incision to be made in the gum tissue.

A procedure to remove a small band of tissue found inside the middle-upper lip, between the lower lip and gums, and under the tongue. This is a quick and minimally invasive procedure.
