Bone Grafting
We offer Bone Grafting services for Socket or Extraction Site Preservation, which are essential to prevent the natural process of bone resorption following tooth loss or extraction. When a tooth is removed, the jawbone can shrink, leading to a "sunken" appearance and making future placement of tooth replacements like dental implants challenging. Our procedure involves carefully placing specialized bone replacement material into the socket to maintain the alveolar ridge's height and density, ensuring the site remains stable and structurally sound for restoration. In many cases, our doctors can perform this procedure simultaneously with the tooth extraction, saving you time and providing optimal results. To learn more or schedule a consultation, please call us at (928) 718-2136.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft Tissue Grafting, or a gum graft, is a periodontal procedure used to correct gingival recession or to improve the appearance of an uneven gumline. This happens when the gums pull away from the tooth, often due to periodontal disease or overly aggressive brushing. During the treatment, one of our experienced doctors will stitch grafting tissue, sourced from elsewhere in your mouth or a tissue bank, onto the exposed area to provide necessary support and prevent potential tooth loss. This specialized procedure enhances both the health and aesthetics of your smile. To discuss whether a soft tissue graft is right for you, please contact us at (928) 718-2136 to meet with our dentists.
Frenectomy
A Frenectomy is a quick, simple procedure performed in our Kingman office to remove or modify an abnormally short or thick frenulum (a small fold of tissue) that is negatively impacting your oral health or function. The two most common types are a lingual frenectomy, which corrects "tongue-tie" (ankyloglossia) to alleviate problems with chewing and speech, and a labial frenectomy, which removes tissue that may contribute to gum recession, gaps between the front teeth, or difficulty wearing dentures. Our dedicated team ensures a comfortable experience, and the procedure can often be completed in a single visit. For more information or to schedule an appointment with Drs. Timothy, Jesse, and Luke Mangelsdorf, please call us at (928) 718-2136.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum Disease Treatment at our practice is essential for addressing periodontal disease, a degenerative bacterial infection that causes red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums and, if left untreated, can advance to cause gum recession, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. After a thorough consultation with our team, we will determine the appropriate treatment based on the severity of your condition, which may range from improved at-home hygiene and routine professional cleanings to more intensive procedures like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, or gum surgery. Our goal is to halt the disease's progression and restore your oral health to ensure a strong, healthy smile. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please contact us at (928) 718-2136 to schedule an exam with Drs. Timothy, Jesse, and Luke Mangelsdorf.
Mouth-Body Connection
Understanding the Mouth-Body Connection is a critical aspect of your overall wellness. Extensive research shows that periodontal disease is closely linked to major medical conditions throughout the body. Gum disease can increase the risk and severity of Diabetes, contribute to factors that lead to Heart Disease and Stroke, increase the risk of Pregnancy complications, worsen issues related to Osteoporosis, and contribute to Respiratory Diseases. Our dentists will work closely with your primary care physician to help manage these interconnected health challenges, restoring your oral health as a vital component of your overall healthy lifestyle.
