Periodontal (Gum) Disease

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss. Gum disease may be associated with other chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.

Symptoms of gum disease may include:

  • Red, swollen gums
  • Bleeding while brushing and flossing
  • Receding gum line
  • Loose teeth
  • Sores in the mouth
  • Bad breath

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or you are concerned about the overall health of your gums, we recommend you to schedule a comprehensive periodontal evaluation with Dr. Morin.

Dental Implants

A dental implant is an artificial tooth, which looks almost identical to a real tooth. Implants can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or even a full mouth reconstruction. For individuals missing teeth, implants may be a great option. As we know eating requires a lot of chewing, and many patients B missing teeth often have to avoid their favorite foods due to sensitivity, or even pain. Dental implants can help you achieve that confident smile of which you have always dreamed.
