Personalized Care for All Ages
Dr. Schlaikjer and our staff believe that oral healthcare is our profession, but patients are our focus. We have built a reputation as a periodontal practice that takes time to listen to the needs of patients while providing quality general dentistry treatments as well as advanced treatments. Our warm and friendly staff is here to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful, and confident smile.
Areas of Expertise
Whether you are bothered by the look of a gummy smile or suffer from missing teeth, we can meet your needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are recognized as the very best restorative treatment for patients with one or more missing teeth. The titanium posts are placed in the jaw and allow patients to stabilize dentures so they never have to worry about the restoration slipping or making embarrassing clicking noises. Once the implant posts are placed, they also guard against bone recession–a natural effect of tooth loss.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting may be recommended to minimize sensitivity and restore your oral health. The procedure prevents further gum recession by transplanting donor tissue to areas of your gums that have experienced gum recession. The surgery can deliver cosmetic as well as restorative benefits.
Periodontal Treatments
Dr. Schlaikjer can also perform non-surgical and surgical treatments to address mild, moderate, and advanced levels of gum disease. These treatments can not only restore your oral health but also minimize your risk of developing serious health issues like heart disease.
