Periodontal Services We Offer in Sarasota, FL
Dr. Pawlus provides a full range of periodontal services designed to protect, restore, and enhance your oral health.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a progressive condition that can lead to bone loss and tooth instability if left untreated. Dr. Pawlus offers both non-surgical and surgical solutions to control infection, reduce inflammation, and preserve your natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Dr. Pawlus specializes in precise implant placement, ensuring optimal stability and natural-looking results.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening reshapes the gum and bone to expose more of the tooth structure. This procedure can improve both the appearance of your smile and the success of restorative treatments like crowns.
Frenectomy / Fiberotomy
These procedures address restrictive soft-tissue attachments that can affect oral function or orthodontic outcomes. Treatment is quick, effective, and designed to improve comfort and mobility.
Gingival Hyperplasia
Overgrowth of gum tissue can affect both aesthetics and oral health. Dr. Pawlus provides targeted treatment to restore a balanced, healthy gumline.
Mucogingival Defect
Receding gums and soft tissue deficiencies can expose tooth roots and increase sensitivity. Treatment focuses on restoring gum coverage and protecting long-term dental health.
Microbiologic Assessment
Advanced testing allows for precise identification of bacteria contributing to periodontal disease. This enables more personalized and effective treatment planning.
Oral Pathology / Biopsy
Suspicious lesions or abnormalities in the oral tissues are carefully evaluated and, when necessary, biopsied to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
TMJ / TMD
Jaw discomfort and dysfunction can significantly impact daily life. Dr. Pawlus evaluates and helps manage TMJ/TMD concerns to improve comfort and function.
