Key services offered by Atlanta West Periodontics and Dental Implants include: Dental Implants: They specialize in the placement of dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots designed to support restorations such as single crowns, bridges, and implant-supported dentures.

The practice utilizes advanced cone-beam CT technology for precise implant placement, optimizing both aesthetics and longevity. Bone Grafting: Procedures to rebuild or augment bone structure in the jaw, often necessary before dental implant placement or to address bone loss due to periodontal disease. Gum Disease Treatment: Comprehensive care for various stages of periodontal disease, including scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar below the gum line. Cosmetic Gum Contouring: Procedures to reshape gum tissue, addressing issues like "gummy smiles" or uneven gum lines to enhance smile aesthetics. Crown Lengthening: A surgical procedure to expose more of a tooth's structure, often done for restorative purposes (e.g., to prepare a tooth for a crown) or for cosmetic reasons. Soft Tissue Graft: Procedures to treat gum recession, where gum tissue is taken from another area (often the palate) and placed over exposed tooth roots. Tooth Extractions: Removal of teeth when necessary, often in preparation for further restorative work like implants. Sedation Dentistry: Offering various sedation options (e.g., oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation) to help anxious patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during their procedures.
