Comprehensive Periodontal & Dental Implant Services
As a specialist in gum disease treatment and implant surgery, Dr. Mojaver offers a full spectrum of periodontal services to meet all your gum and implant needs. Whether you require preventative therapy or complex surgical intervention, you can receive personalized care all in one office. His comprehensive services include:
• Dental implants – Expert placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth, including advanced ceramic implants for patients seeking metal-free, holistic solutions.
• Laser gum surgery (LANAP) – High-tech laser treatment for gum disease and receding gums. The LANAP protocol provides a gentle laser periodontal treatment alternative to traditional gum surgery, promoting faster healing with minimal discomfort.
• Pinhole Surgical Technique – An innovative, scalpel-free gum recession treatment often described as painless gum grafting. Dr. Mojaver uses this minimally invasive technique to restore receding gums without the need for incisions or sutures, resulting in quicker recovery and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
• Scaling and root planing – Thorough yet gentle deep-cleaning procedures (also known as “deep cleanings”) to treat early gum disease. This non-surgical periodontal therapy removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line, helping control infection and promote gum healing.
• Gum grafting – Conventional and minimally invasive gum grafting procedures to treat gum recession and sensitive exposed roots. Dr. Mojaver performs gum grafting with precision to ensure a comfortable experience and natural-looking results that strengthen and rebuild the
gumline.
• Bone grafting and regenerative procedures – Rebuilding lost jaw bone to support future implants or restore jaw contours. Dr. Mojaver is skilled in advanced bone regeneration techniques, including sinus lift surgeries and ridge augmentation, to create a strong foundation for dental implants and improve oral function.
• TMJ treatment – Therapies to relieve jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By evaluating bite alignment and jaw function, Dr. Mojaver can provide occlusal adjustments, custom bite splints, or even therapeutic Botox injections (for muscle relaxation) as needed to alleviate TMJ discomfort.
• Periodontal disease treatment and maintenance – Personalized treatment plans for all stages of gum disease, from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Dr. Mojaver combines deep cleanings, localized antibiotics, and ongoing periodontal maintenance to halt infection and preserve your teeth and gums long term. He emphasizes patient education and regular follow-ups to keep your gum health on track.
Dr. Mojaver’s philosophy is to treat every patient with the same care and comfort he would offer to family. He prioritizes minimally invasive techniques and modern technology to make periodontal treatment as easy and painless as possible. From using laser therapy and the Pinhole Surgical Technique for gentler gum procedures to offering sedation options for anxious patients, every aspect of care is focused on patient comfort.
As an IV sedation certified periodontist, Dr. Mojaver can provide conscious sedation for those who need extra relaxation, ensuring a stress-free experience during dental implant placement, gum grafting, or other surgeries. His gentle chairside manner and detailed explanations help put patients at ease, while cutting-edge tools like dental lasers and photobiomodulation (light therapy) promote faster healing with less post-operative pain. By combining advanced skills with a patient-centered touch, Dr. Mojaver makes even complex treatments – such as gum surgery or implant procedures – feel surprisingly comfortable and convenient. Patients frequently remark how approachable and caring he is, and how even treatments like gum grafts felt virtually painless under his care.
