We accomplish this with empathetic, compassionate care, utmost attention to detail, and focus on our patients’ experiences first and foremost.
Lasting Solutions to Complex Oral Health Problems
Tooth loss can cause serious health issues, including chronic pain, dietary limitations, and mental and emotional turmoil. Whether you’re already missing teeth, struggling with ill-fitting dentures, or need advanced solutions for failing dental health, we’re here for you. In many cases, we may be able to save your teeth with LANAP® laser gum therapy. This revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease can frequently save even the most compromised teeth.
Dental implants can rebuild the strength and function of your own healthy natural teeth and completely restore your most beautiful smile. However, their success depends on ideal placement by a skilled surgeon. As periodontists, we’re experts in delivering predictably successful dental implants.
Don’t lose hope if you’re already struggling with failing dental implants! We use LAPIP® laser technology to treat peri-implantitis and save failing dental implants.
You deserve a strong, beautiful smile that will last a lifetime, and we’re proud to help you achieve it!

Dental Implants
Loose, unsalvageable, and missing teeth can cost your health and mental well-being. As the gold standard in tooth replacement, dental implants have the life-changing potential to rebuild your smile’s full function and beauty with lifelike prostheses. Implants retain their strength for decades so that you can love your smile for life.
Gingival Grafting
If your teeth don’t have the support they need, it can lead to a range of problems, including tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and enamel loss. Gingival grafting can correct problems with the position of your gum tissue by rebuilding the healthy support structure of your gums and strengthening the soft tissue support of your teeth. Grafting can sometimes help you avoid losing your teeth as the recession progresses.
Compassionate Care, Curated Treatments
Your smile is unique and deserves customized care tailored to your needs. You’ll never receive an off-the-rack smile at Bay Area Implants and Periodontics. As surgical specialists, we’re uniquely qualified to tailor treatment options to help you achieve the best oral health for decades.
