Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn’t listed below, please contact our office and we’ll be happy to assist you.
What is a periodontist and how are they different from a general dentist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and in the placement of dental implants. Dr. Nevins is a board-certified periodontist with advanced training and expertise beyond general dentistry.
What periodontal treatments do you offer?
We provide a full range of periodontal therapies including non-surgical treatments, laser therapy like LANAP, surgical care, and regenerative techniques.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us for an evaluation by Dr. Nevins.
What is LANAP and how does it treat gum disease?
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a laser to remove diseased gum tissue and promote healing without cutting or stitches.
What are the benefits of dental implants over bridges or dentures?
Dental implants are a long-term solution that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They help preserve jawbone health and provide superior comfort and stability compared to bridges or dentures.
What is PRF/PRP therapy in dentistry?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are regenerative treatments that use your own blood to promote faster healing and tissue regeneration during dental procedures.
Can you fix receding gums without traditional surgery?
Yes, we offer Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation, a scalpel-free, suture-free technique to correct gum recession with minimal discomfort and a faster recovery.
What can I expect during a full-mouth reconstruction consultation?
Dr. Nevins will perform a comprehensive exam, review imaging, and discuss your goals. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan addressing both function and aesthetics.
Is sedation available for periodontal surgery?
Yes. We provide sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort and reduce anxiety during complex procedures.
Do you accept referrals from general dentists?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with general dentists and specialists to ensure patients receive the highest level of periodontal and implant care.
