Procedures

(Subepithelial Connective Tissue Or Soft Tissue Allografts)
‍
When gum (periodontal) disease has progressed to the advanced stages, you may develop gum recession and the body loses a natural defense mechanism in fighting bacterial infection. This causes a higher gumline and exposed tooth roots. At DSSC, part of your periodontal disease treatment could include surgical gum grafting to revive your gumline. With several different gum graft surgery options, board-certified periodontist Dr. Reece Cochran will create your custom treatment plan to restore your receding gums. Read more…

A frenum, which appears between either the upper or lower set of front teeth, connects the inner lip with the gum line. It is a naturally occurring muscle attachment, and without sufficient attached gingiva, recession can occur. Similarly, a frenum that is excessively large can hinder teeth from aligning, causing a gap to form between the front teeth. In the event that pulling occurs, or if the frenum is too large, a frenectomy is used to surgically remove the frenum. Read more…

You and Dr. Cochran may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Read more…

Mucosa, a smooth, pink-ish skin that lines the inside of the mouth, can be used as a preventative measure against the development of a pathological disease. If the skin is noticeable altered, consult your dentist or periodontist, as this can be a strong indication of oral cancer. Read more…

What Is A Sinus Lift?
‍
‍Behind the cheek and upper teeth region lie the maxillary sinuses. The maxillary sinuses are empty, air-filled spaces that sometimes house roots which extend from the upper teeth. Upon removal of the upper teeth, the maxillary sinus is separated from the mouth by a mere wall of bone. Since dental implants require a sufficient amount of bone, it is not possible to insert implants when the maxillary sinus wall is exceedingly thin. Read more…

The Carestream 9600 system gives our oral and maxillofacial practice state-of-the-art technology to help Dr. Cochran diagnose potential issues more accurately and provide treatment with unprecedented confidence. Unlike a traditional spiral CT scanner, this 3D system utilizes cone beam CT technology and provides precise, crystal-clear digital images while minimizing your exposure to radiation. Read more…

Crown Lengthening is often used to advance the health of gum tissue or to emend a gummy smile. A gummy smile occurs when teeth are hidden by extra gum tissue and creates a smile that can be unsightly. The procedure of crown lengthening includes reshaping gum tissue and bone surrounding the teeth and can be done on a single tooth, several teeth, or the entire gum-line. Read more…

(Osseous Surgery)

Osseous Surgery reshapes deformities and extracts pockets that appear in alveolar bone that surrounds teeth. The procedure, despite being termed a surgery, is similar to receiving a thorough cleaning. It is commonly used in advanced periodontal treatment, and is ultimately used to remove periodontal pockets that lead to periodontal disease. Read more…

If you are feeling anxiety about receiving a periodontal procedure, IV Sedation may be the right solution for you. Before surgery, a small IV is inserted, usually in your arm, and sedative medications are spread through the body to relieve stress associated with the procedure. Local anesthesia is still used on treatment sites before the procedure, and the IV is attentively monitored until the surgery is completed. Read more…

After a tooth extraction, common dental procedure is performed in order to ensure that the jaw’s natural contour remains unaltered. Read more…

If you have experienced bone atrophy following tooth loss, Dr. Reece Cochran can perform a dental bone graft in preparation for dental implant treatment. For the right candidates, dental implants are the best means of supporting dentures and other restorations, but they require sufficient bone tissue for support. Dr. Cochran is a periodontist who can provide the treatments necessary to fully restore your smile following tooth loss. In addition to providing bone grafting, he offers socket preservation, a means of preventing bone atrophy following tooth extraction. Read more…
