Dental Examination
Your cosmetic doctor can perform a comprehensive dental exam to determine if you are a good candidate for full mouth reconstruction. The exam will focus on...

Teeth Cleaning
The easiest way to prevent tooth loss and gum disease is to practice good oral hygiene. This means brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. It is also recommended that you use an antibacterial mouthwash and a tongue scraper. Finally, visiting Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute as recommended for periodontal exams and cleanings can help reduce the level of plaque and bacteria below the gum line and improve the health of your gums.

Veneers
Any cavities, decay, cracks, root canal issues, missing teeth, loose teeth, and short or long teeth will need to be addressed with procedures such as crowns, bridges, implants, inlays, onlays, or even veneers. You may be referred to other specialists for some of these procedures.
Crowns
Periodontal Plastic Surgery refers to cosmetic procedures performed on the gums to enhance the appearance and health of the smile. Also referred to as gum reduction surgery, crown lengthening may be a recommendation when too much gum tissue is present. This periodontal plastic surgery procedure can be rendered in two forms and is most often performed by a dental professional.
Bridges

Root Canal Treatment
Occasional bruxism may not result in damage to the teeth or jaw. However, chronic teeth grinding can cause serious dental issues. In some cases, grinding can result in tooth fracture, loosening of teeth, or the loss of teeth. Grinding over years without treatment can wear the teeth down to stumps, exposing the second layer of tooth structure which will require bridges, crowns, root canals, implants, or possibly even dentures to repair, if the teeth cannot be saved. Not only is bruxism bad for your teeth, it is also damaging to the jaw. Teeth grinding can result in hearing loss, change the appearance of your face, TMD (temporomandibular disorder), chronic pain, headaches, and sore muscles. A doctor for TMJ can determine if your grinding habits are causing TMD.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
A gingivectomy is usually performed when a patient has severe gum disease that has not responded well to scaling and root planing or other periodontal procedures and is a procedure that is typically provided by a doctor.
Periodontal Surgery
If there is any indication of gum disease, you might need to visit a periodontist for gum disease treatment. If your gums are not in good health, a non-surgical scaling and root planing procedure or more intensive treatments such as periodontal surgery may be necessary. Your team of oral professionals will need to prepare your teeth and gums for the reconstruction phases.
Deep Cleaning
Your doctor or dental hygienist will use the instruments below the gum line to clean the roots of your teeth and smooth any rough surfaces. The goal of this deep cleaning process is to clear away plaque and tartar as well as smooth the surfaces of the teeth to encourage the gum tissues to reattach to the teeth.

Dentures
AvaDentÂ® is a leader in denture manufacturing thanks to its incredibly new technique for designing and adjusting dentures. Dr. Steven Saunders, Dr. Victor Saunders and his team members are extremely excited to bring this technology for people in the Harrisonburg area. Patients may get their dentures in as fast as two appointments, a huge advantage over waiting weeks for the proper fit.

Dental Implants

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually begin to erupt between the ages of 17 and 25 and are the final set of molars that most people get. While many will eventually have their wisdom teeth removed, not everyone needs to do so. Most dental professionals will recommend having oral surgery for wisdom teeth if you experience any of the following scenarios...
Jaw Surgery
Flap Surgery
Osseous surgery, or flap surgery, is usually performed when periodontal pockets around a tooth (or teeth) have not responded to other treatments. Also known as pocket depth reduction, this procedure is performed in order to create a clean environment around the tooth so that it can be retained rather than lost. The goal of osseous surgery is to reduce or eliminate periodontal pocketing. Osseous surgery is generally recommended after other treatments have been explored and attempted, and is usually performed when pocket depths have worsened over time or have not responded to other therapies.
Gum Surgery
LANAPÂ® is most often recommended to patients with moderate to severe gum disease. This is because it allows us to remove bacteria and infected tissue without causing harm to the surrounding bone, teeth, and healthy tissue. While traditional gum surgery uses a scalpel to remove the infection, LANAPÂ® utilizes a new technology called the PerioLaseÂ® MVP-7â„¢. This is a new type of dental laser that operates at a frequency which affects only the diseased areas and leaves the teeth, bone, and healthy tissue untouched. Not only does this minimize pain and discomfort, it also reduces the chances of further complications.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery (or flap surgery) is performed on patients who have moderate or advanced periodontal disease. Typically, flap surgery is performed after scaling and root planing has been attempted but has not been successful in treating existing periodontal disease.
Tooth Extractions
Dental extractions are performed for a variety of reasons, including tooth decay, injury, infection, and for orthodontic treatment. Extractions are a relatively common procedure in most dental offices. The difficulty of the procedure varies depending on the case and the patient, however anesthesia is used to numb the area and prevent discomfort during the procedure.
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation is a common procedure performed to help recreate the natural contour of the gums. Often, after a tooth is removed, the bone in the jaw will begin to deteriorate and recede. The height and width of the socket, which was supported by the tooth, will begin to shrink after the tooth is removed. Many patients will eventually develop an indentation in the gums where the tooth used to be as a result of tooth and bone loss.
Bone Grafting
We offer bone augmentation and bone grafting procedures in Harrisonburg, VA to replace lost bone. Bone grafting can also restore the proper facial contours where bone is missing in the font of the mouth.
