Life Dental Specialties is a unique periodontal practice that specializes in complex procedures to help patients improve the appearance and health of their smiles. Dr. Quinta’s services include:

Dental Implants – When you choose Life Dental Specialties for dental implants, you’ll benefit from Dr. Quinta’s surgical skill, state-of-the-art 3D technology to plan your treatment, and the highest quality dental products and implants available for long-lasting results.

Periodontal Surgery – Our minimally-invasive microsurgical techniques yield better results with less pain, shorter recovery time, and fewer complications.

Gum Grafting for Gingival Recession – Receding gums aren’t just an aesthetic issue—they can also cause painful sensitivity, leaving your teeth vulnerable to decay, wear, and may eventually lead to tooth loss. Dr. Quinta can replace the soft tissue that has been lost to create a more even gum line and protect the tooth.

Tooth Extractions – The advantage of having a periodontist perform tooth extractions is that bone grafting can be provided at the same time, reducing the chance of future bone loss and periodontal pockets.

Bone Regeneration – Bone grafting is often needed prior to dental implant surgery for patients who have suffered bone loss in the jaw. Dr. Quinta can perform bone grafting at the same time as implant placement or as part of a complex multi-stage treatment plan.

Scaling and Root Planing – Scaling and root planing is considered the gold standard for treating gum disease. This minimally-invasive procedure is highly effective, often reversing periodontitis after a single treatment. After scaling and root planing, Dr. Quinta will put together a periodontal maintenance program to keep your gums healthy for years to come.

All on 4 Dental Implants – All on 4 dental implants are a full-arch solution for missing teeth that provides you with a brand new smile in a single visit to our office.
