Services
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft tissue grafting addresses gum recession by transplanting tissue to cover exposed tooth roots. This procedure prevents further dental problems, reduces sensitivity, and improves smile aesthetics. Tissue can be sourced from the patient's palate or tissue banks, with techniques like connective tissue grafts offering superior root coverage. Recovery typically involves two weeks of healing assessment.
Implant Surgery
Dental implant placement provides permanent tooth replacement solutions anchored in the jawbone. Titanium implants integrate with bone tissue to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. The process includes 3-6 months of healing, with pre-surgical planning using 3D imaging to ensure optimal placement and long-term success.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Comprehensive periodontal treatment includes pocket reduction surgery and scaling/root planing to eliminate bacterial infections. This preserves tooth and implant health through deep cleaning procedures and bone smoothing techniques that facilitate gum reattachment and easier home maintenance.
Cone Beam CT Scanning
Advanced 3D imaging provides critical diagnostic information for implant planning and oral pathology assessment. The 20-second scan captures detailed jawbone structure, sinus positioning, and nerve locations to guide precise treatment decisions and surgical outcomes.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening procedures expose more tooth structure for restorative purposes or aesthetic improvements. This surgical reshaping of gum and bone tissue creates optimal conditions for crown placement or corrects 'gummy smiles' by revealing hidden tooth surfaces.

Report
I had a gum surgery done by Dr. Thang 5 years ago. I also had an implant surgery done recently by Dr. Thang. I am extremely happy with both results. I was expecting a lot of pain from the implant because that's what my relative experienced when she did her implant in another country. However, the procedure and recovery was so much easier than I expected. I was able to work on the same day. I would definitely recommend Dr. Thang. His schedule is quite full though. It would be even better if he could offer more flexible schedules.

Report
Couldn't imagine a better periodontics practice. Dr Thang was incredibly kind, skilled and helpful, and did a spectacular job with my dental implants. I was somewhat traumatized after losing two teeth in a basketball game, but Dr. Thang guided me through the process, talking me through the whole thing, and now after all is said and done my smile is better than ever! The location is clean and classy, and the rest of the staff are wonderful too!
