Will Sedation Dentistry Help Ease My Dental Fears?
Dental anxiety is more common than many realize. Whether it's due to past experiences, fear of pain, or discomfort with the sights and sounds of the dental office, these fears can lead patients to delay essential treatment. At Palm Beach Center for Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we believe that no one should feel anxious about getting the care they need.
How Sinus Lifts Improve Bone Density for Dental Implants
When it comes to successful dental implant placement, a strong and stable foundation is essential. Unfortunately, some patients experience bone loss in the upper jaw, particularly in the area of the molars and premolars. This can pose a challenge for implant placement, as there may not be enough bone height to support the implants securely.
Factors That Determine the Need for Ridge Augmentation Explained
Ridge augmentation is a common procedure in periodontics and implant dentistry. It is often necessary to restore the natural shape and volume of the jawbone that may have been lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, or gum disease. Understanding the key factors involved can help you make informed decisions about your oral health and prepare for dental implant placement if needed.
How Can I Fix My Receding Gums?
Gum recession is a common dental concern that can affect both the health and appearance of your smile. If you have noticed your teeth looking longer or increased sensitivity to hot or cold foods, you may be dealing with receding gums.

At Palm Beach Center for Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer advanced solutions to restore the health and beauty of your gums, including a minimally invasive procedure called Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation.

Is Gummy Smile Surgery Permanent? How to Maintain Your Results
A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when a significant portion of the gums is visible when smiling. While this condition is typically harmless, many individuals seek treatment to enhance their smile’s appearance. Gummy smile surgery, such as crown lengthening, is a popular solution for reducing excessive gum exposure. However, a common question patients have is whether the results of gummy smile surgery are permanent and what steps they can take to maintain their new smile.
How Sinus Augmentation Can Create a Stable Foundation for Your Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth, offering durability, functionality, and a natural look. However, not every patient has sufficient bone density in their upper jaw to support implants. This is where sinus augmentation, also known as a sinus lift, becomes an essential procedure for creating a stable foundation for dental implants.
How to Recognize and Treat Deep Pockets in Your Gums
Maintaining healthy gums is crucial for overall oral health. However, when gum disease progresses, it can lead to deep pockets forming between the gums and teeth. Left untreated, these pockets can harbor harmful bacteria, causing further damage to your gums, teeth, and even your jawbone. Thankfully, advanced treatments like LANAP® provide a minimally invasive and highly effective way to treat deep gum pockets and restore oral health.
