A Periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on treatment, prevention and diagnosis of the gums and bone. Periodontists specialize in placing dental implants, performing microsurgical procedures such as gingival grafting, bone grafting and esthetic gum recontouring. Periodontists receive 3 additional years of advanced training beyond the general dentistry education they receive in dental school.

While general dentists provide routine dental care, such as cleanings and fillings, prosthodontists are specialists who focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and restoration of missing or damaged teeth. Prosthodontists receive additional education and training to provide advanced care for complex dental problems.

Our specialists at Transcend are highly trained and experienced in their respective areas of expertise. All of our dentists are prosthodontists and periodontists specialists have completed advanced education and training in their fields and are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to our patients.

Veneers can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, composite resin, and ceramic. Porcelain veneers are often considered the most durable and natural-looking option, while composite resin veneers are more affordable and can be completed in a single appointment.

Both implants and bridges can be effective options for replacing missing teeth, but the right choice for you will depend on your specific needs and goals. Implants are a durable and long-lasting option, but may require more extensive treatment. Bridges can be a quicker and less invasive option, but may need to be replaced more frequently, and can affect the adjacent teeth.

There are several options for replacing a missing tooth, including implants, bridges, and partial dentures. Each option has its own benefits and drawbacks, and the best choice for you will depend on your specific needs and goals.

Worn down teeth can be caused by several factors, including bruxism (teeth grinding), acid erosion, or improper brushing techniques. Treatment options may include orthodontics, crowns, porcelain veneers, bridges, dental implants or other restorative procedures. In moderate to severe cases of worn down teeth, a bite reconstruction may be indicated which involved rebuilding all the teeth to a healthier and more stable bite position.

Gum recession can be caused by a number of factors, such as periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetics. Depending on the cause and severity of the recession, treatment options may include scaling and root planning, gum grafting, or other periodontal procedures.
