How Advanced Dental Arts Handles Periodontics and Surgery
No Pain-Shaming, No Tough-Guy Talk
If you say something hurts, we believe you. If you’re nervous about a procedure, we talk through it, not over you. You’ll never hear us minimize your discomfort or pressure you into treatment before you’re ready. Our goal is to make sure you’re informed, confident, and as comfortable as possible.
We Meet You Where You Are
Gum health is a journey—and not everyone’s starts in the same place. Whether you’ve missed a few cleanings or are working through long-standing issues, we provide practical next steps, not lectures. You’ll get honest guidance based on your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
Surgical Care That Respects Your Time and Nerves
Not every extraction is simple. But even complex procedures—like removing impacted wisdom teeth or preparing your jaw for dentures—can be handled with precision and compassion. We explain each step, prioritize gentle techniques, and make sure you’re never left wondering what’s going on or why.
We make complex procedures feel simple and straightforward.

Periodontic Care: Deep Cleanings, Healthier Gums
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
Scaling and root planing is a nonsurgical treatment used to combat early-stage gum disease. It goes beyond a standard dental cleaning, targeting the plaque and tartar that collect below the gumline.
- Scaling removes hardened plaque from above and below the gumline.
- Root planing smooths the root surfaces to help the gums reattach to the tooth.
This treatment can help:
- Reduce inflammation and bleeding
- Slow or stop gum recession
- Prevent progression to advanced periodontitis
- Save teeth that might otherwise be at risk
We typically perform deep cleanings over one or two visits, depending on the severity. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable throughout.
Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance
After scaling and root planing, we’ll likely recommend more frequent cleanings (often every 3–4 months) to help maintain your progress. Gum disease is chronic, but with proper care and follow-up, it can be managed effectively and comfortably.
We’ll also give you personalized home care tips to help keep bacteria in check between visits. That might include adjustments to your brushing technique, recommendations for interdental brushes or water flossers, and guidance on anti-bacterial rinses.
Oral Surgery: Strategic Extractions and Supportive Surgery
Complicated and Surgical Extractions
Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged, too decayed, or too tightly anchored to be extracted with simple tools. That’s where surgical extraction comes in. We use specialized techniques to remove teeth cleanly and safely, with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
You might need a surgical extraction if:
- The tooth is broken at or below the gumline
- The roots are curved, hooked, or fused to the bone
- The tooth is impacted or hasn’t fully erupted
Whether you need one tooth removed or several, we’ll make the process as smooth as possible and provide detailed aftercare instructions for a comfortable recovery.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth (third molars) can cause a lot of issues when they don’t have enough room to emerge properly. They can push other teeth out of alignment, trap bacteria, or become painfully impacted in the jaw.
We offer both simple and surgical wisdom teeth removal, whether it’s one tooth or all four. Timing matters—removing them early often prevents bigger problems down the road.
We’ll evaluate your X-rays, walk you through your options, and help you decide if—and when—removal makes sense.
Serial Extractions and Full-Mouth Planning
In some cases, patients need all remaining teeth extracted to prepare for dentures, implants, or other major restorative work. We handle full-mouth extractions with compassion and care, taking the time to coordinate your treatment in phases that minimize discomfort and support long-term healing.
We’ll also help with immediate or transitional solutions so you’re never left without teeth during the process.
Ridge Augmentation
If you’ve lost teeth, the jawbone may begin to shrink or lose its natural shape. Ridge augmentation is a surgical technique that rebuilds the jawbone’s bone structure, making it strong and stable enough to support future restorations, like dentures or dental implants.
This procedure is often done after extractions or before implant placement. It helps:
- Prevent further bone loss
- Restore the natural contours of your jaw and gums
- Improve the fit and appearance of future dental work
Ridge augmentation can be done at the time of extraction or as a standalone procedure. We’ll let you know if you’re a candidate and explain what the process would involve.
