Surgical Dental Procedures in Washington DC
Dental surgery includes any invasive procedure performed on the teeth or gums. Dr. Ardekani performs several dental surgical procedures, including teeth extractions, dental implant placement, gum and bone grafting, and the Chao pinhole® surgical technique for gum recession.
Dental Implants
Dr. Ardekani is a Doctor of Dental Surgery with continuing education and training in dental surgical techniques. He is an expert in the complexities of dental implant surgery, having completed a fellowship in implant dentistry at the prestigious California Implant Institute in San Diego, CA. If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants can be surgically implanted in the jawbone to support a tooth restoration, such as a crown or permanent denture.
Crown Lengthening
Patients may need crown lengthening before having a crown placed when insufficient teeth are still available above the surface to hold the restoration securely. Crown lengthening may also be a cosmetic procedure to reveal more of the teeth if a patient has a gummy smile. During this surgical procedure, the gums are carefully re-contoured to expose more of the tooth’s surface. In some cases, a portion of the jawbone may also be re-contoured.
Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique®
This innovative treatment for receding gums is the latest tool in Dr. Ardekani’s arsenal. He is fully certified in this minimally invasive gum restoration alternative to gum grafting. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique is less painful than grafting, bleeds less, and is less invasive. Collagen is placed in the area through a small pinhole in the gums to stabilize the area and encourage new gum tissue growth.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
Whether a single tooth needs removing or you need multiple teeth extracted, Dr. Ardekani is adept at surgically removing your tooth without requiring sutures or cutting into the bone, except for the most complex tooth extractions. In some situations, a tooth may need to be sectioned (cut into pieces) for successful removal.
