Having a relationship with your periodontist, along with your regular dentist, is the best way to ward off devastating periodontal disease. A person's periodontal health has also been shown to be associated with their overall health, having far-reaching repercussions on the rest of the body.

Dr. Sfiroudis is one of the leaders in her field, specializing in minimally invasive and pain-free approaches to your periodontal care. She provides a variety of great, effective services and procedures that benefit your health and well-being and the aesthetics of your smile.

Outstanding Periodontal Care

Dr. Stephanie Sfiroudis provides a wide range of periodontal treatments, from preventive care to the repair of damage. She is an expert in her field, providing some of the best dental implants and implant overdentures in the area, as well as a number of non-surgical approaches for treating related conditions.

 

• Dental Implants and Implant Overdentures: Implants can replace a single lost tooth, a bridge, or even an entire set of teeth. They are an amazing alternative to dentures. For patients who already have dentures and are pleased with them, implant overdentures are an economical option that can help with issues caused by poorly-fitting false teeth.

 

• Bone Grafting and Gum Grafting: The latest techniques and technologies are used for both bone and gum grafting. Bone grafting is sometimes necessary before implant placement and is also used to repair bone loss caused by periodontitis. Gum grafting repairs the unsightly aftermath of receding gums and addresses sensitive tooth issues caused by exposed roots.

 

• Tooth Extraction: When teeth need to be removed, a newer technique known as atraumatic extraction is used to preserve the socket as much as possible. The technique is quick and painless. Plus, it makes implant placement much easier, speeds healing, and reduces recovery time.

 

• Cosmetic Crown Lengthening: In addition to these reparative surgeries, cosmetic crown lengthening is also offered to improve unappealing "gummy" smiles. All of these surgeries are outpatient, and you can typically get back to your daily routine right away.

 

• Non-Surgical Treatments: Today, several non-surgical approaches can be used to treat gum disease and gingivitis. Dr. Sfiroudis provides both scaling treatments and root planning. Scaling is a type of deep cleaning, and root planning smooths out uneven tooth surfaces to prevent bacteria from congregating there. Both of these methods are quick, painless, and some of the best ways to prevent periodontitis - the most severe form of periodontal disease, which often leads to the loss of teeth.

 

Dr. Sfiroudis works closely with her patients to create personalized treatment plans, always keeping their needs in mind. All treatment plans begin with an extensive assessment of your oral health. This is true whether you have a common periodontal condition like gum disease or more advanced forms of periodontal disease requiring extensive repair. She even provides painless periodontal treatments for children to get the entire family off on the right foot when it comes to oral health.

Periodontal Insurance Claims Processed for You!

Not only does Dr. Stephanie Sfiroudis strive to make periodontal surgeries and treatments as pain-free as possible from start to finish, but she also strives to make the entire process less painful on your wallet. The office accepts almost all insurance plans and programs. If your insurance is not on the list of accepted plans, please let us know!

To further reduce the stress often associated with periodontal care, the office will handle all necessary insurance paperwork for you. Many payment methods are accepted for your convenience, and financing options are available to those who qualify.

Pain-Free and Stress-Free Treatments

No one should be discouraged from getting the proper periodontal care due to the fear of pain. Untreated periodontal disease is actually substantially more painful than the treatments and even more painful than reparative surgery. Most periodontal surgeries require only local anesthesia. After the surgery, any minor pain and swelling can be managed with over-the-counter medications.

Only a few surgeries even require prescription medications. Dentistry and oral surgery have both made great strides in recent years to keep your teeth healthy while reducing stress. Dr. Sfiroudis genuinely cares about your experience and will walk you through every step, no matter the case.
