What Can Dr. Saltzburg Do for Your Smile?

If you have severe gum disease, advanced bone loss, or need dental implants, Dr. Saltzburg has the skills and expertise to provide treatments that go beyond what a general dentist can offer.

When Should You See a Periodontist?
Sometimes, it’s obvious when you need help with your gums, but other times, the signs can be easy to miss. Here are some reasons to see a periodontist:
- Persistent Gum Issues
If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, feel swollen, or look red, these could be early signs of gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to receding gums and even tooth loss. - Receding Gums
Gum recession exposes the roots of your teeth, which can make them sensitive and more vulnerable to damage. - Loose Teeth or Tooth Loss
Advanced gum disease can weaken the bone that holds your teeth in place. A periodontist can evaluate the problem and offer solutions to save your teeth or replace them with dental implants. - Dental Implants
If you’re considering dental implants, a periodontist is the expert to see. They specialize in placing implants and ensuring the surrounding gums and bone are healthy enough for long-term success. Our periodontist also has the technology and expertise to save failing dental implants.
Your Trusted Periodontist in Washington Heights
At Fort Washington Dental Associates, we know convenience and expertise matter. That’s why we offer everything you need in one place. Our state-of-the-art office provides advanced periodontal treatments and all dental implant options under one roof.
We’re proud to offer a full range of periodontal treatments so you don’t have to visit multiple offices. Some of our advanced services include:
- Gum Grafting
Gum grafting restores lost gum tissue to protect your teeth and improve your smile. This treatment can also reduce sensitivity caused by exposed tooth roots. - Gum Contouring
If your gums are overgrown due to chronic inflammation or medical issues, or you’re unhappy with a “gummy” smile, procedures like gingivectomy and crown lengthening can remove excess gum tissue to improve the aesthetics and health of your smile. - LANAP
LANAP is a laser procedure that targets gum disease without the need for cutting or stitches. It’s less invasive, with faster healing than traditional gum surgery. - LAPIP
For patients with failing dental implants, LAPIP uses lasers to treat infections around the implant and help save it. - Dental Implant Options
From single implants to full-mouth solutions, including implant-supported dentures, our team provides a wide range of implant options to suit your needs.
