Specialized Treatment for Gum Disease, Gum Recession, Bone Loss & Missing Teeth

Healthy gums and bone provide the foundation for a healthy smile. When periodontal disease, gum recession, tooth loss, or bone deterioration occur, specialized treatment may be necessary to restore oral health and prevent future complications.

As a periodontist and implant surgeon in Manhattan, Dr. Jennifer Choe provides advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, rebuild lost bone and tissue, and restore function through dental implant therapy.

Gum Grafting

Replacing Missing Teeth with Long-Term Stability

Dental implants are considered the most predictable and natural-feeling solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to restore appearance, function, and confidence while helping preserve the jawbone over time.

Dental implants may be recommended if you:

  • Have one or more missing teeth

  • Have failing dental work

  • Wear a removable denture

  • Want a long-term alternative to bridges

Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation

Treatment for Gum Recession

Gum grafting helps restore lost tissue, protect vulnerable tooth roots, and improve long-term periodontal health.

Patients often seek treatment for:

  • Receding gums

  • Tooth sensitivity

  • Exposed roots

  • Uneven gum lines

  • Progressive tissue loss

Crown Lengthening

Rebuilding Bone Lost to Disease or Missing Teeth

When teeth are lost, the jawbone naturally begins to shrink over time. Bone grafting procedures help rebuild and preserve bone support for future dental implants and overall oral health.

Bone regeneration may be recommended following:

  • Tooth extraction

  • Periodontal disease

  • Dental trauma

  • Long-term tooth loss

  • Implant preparation

Sinus Lift Surgery

Improving Function and Aesthetics

Crown lengthening is performed to expose additional tooth structure for restorative treatment or to improve the appearance of excessive gum tissue.

It may be recommended for:

  • Broken teeth

  • Deep decay

  • Restorative procedures

  • Uneven gum contours

  • Gummy smiles

Laser Therapy

Creating a Stronger Foundation for Dental Implants

During the procedure, the sinus membrane is carefully elevated and bone grafting material is placed beneath it to increase available bone height. Over time, the area heals and integrates with your natural bone, allowing dental implants to be placed securely.

Sinus lift surgery may be recommended if you:

  • Have missing upper back teeth

  • Have been told there is not enough bone for implants

  • Experienced bone loss after tooth extraction

  • Want a more stable long-term implant solution

  • Are replacing teeth that have been missing for many years

Laser technology can be used to treat periodontal disease, reduce harmful bacteria, support gum healing, and improve overall tissue health while minimizing trauma to surrounding areas.

Laser therapy may help patients experiencing:

  • Periodontal disease

  • Inflamed or bleeding gums

  • Gum infection

  • Gum recession

  • Bacterial buildup around implants

  • Delayed tissue healing

  • Oral inflammation
