Dental Implants Beverly Hills
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. For more information about dental implants or to schedule a consultation appointment, call our office in Beverly Hills, at 310 652-7800.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Beverly Hills
These procedures are a predictable way to cover unsightly, sensitive, or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. If you are unhappy with the appearance of short unsightly teeth this can be greatly improved by a combination of periodontal procedures by Dr. Raschkovsky and cosmetic dentistry by your dentist. For more information about cosmetic periodontal surgery or to schedule a consultation appointment, call our office in Beverly Hills at 310 652-7800.
Gingival Gum Grafting
When gum recession occurs, gum grafting may be an option. Gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods as well as an unsightly appearance of the gum and tooth. The gingival graft is highly predictable and results in a stable healthy band of attached tissue around the tooth.
Bone Regeneration
Gum Disease is the number one reason for tooth loss in adults. Guided tissue bone regeneration regenerates the gum and bone tissue previously lost to periodontal disease. In many situations we now have the ability to grow bone where it has been lost around teeth.
Crown Lengthening
Crown Lengthening involves adjusting the level of the gum tissue and bone around the tooth in question to create a new gum-to–tooth relationship. Crown lengthening may be required when your tooth needs a new crown, or for cosmetic purposes to correct a "gummy" smile.
Periodontal Disease
Adults over the age of 35 lose more teeth to gum diseases than from cavities. Three out of four adults are affected at some time in their life. Periodontal diseases are ongoing infections of the gums that gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth.
Bacterial plaque produces toxins or poisons that irritate the gums, which may cause them to turn red, swell and bleed easily. If prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth, causing periodontal pockets to form along the tooth. As periodontal diseases progress, the supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate. If left untreated, this leads to tooth loss.
The early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Dr. Raschkovsky prides himself on the fact that he is very conservative in his treatment recommendations and limits surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary.
