Periodontist Dr. Greg Davis is sensitive to the major role oral health
plays in influencing wellness and aesthetics. He has parlayed his advanced training
and experience into a host of cosmetic periodontal and implant procedures at his two
locations—Southampton and his newest office in Lake Success.
Periodontists are an integral part of the cosmetic dentistry
team. They are the foundation builders—the architects that
provide the framework on which a new smile can be born. "We
work hand-in-hand with plastic surgeons and cosmetic
dentists," explains Dr. Davis. "We look at a patient's overall
appearance, systemic health, smile, and finally, their gum
tissue and bone support in order to see the entire picture."
Whether you are long in the tooth or just sensitive around the
gum line, Dr. Davis specializes in soft tissue
solutions to correct these problems.
Using the latest biomolecular technology, including growth
factors and bone substitutes, the doctor can correct problems
caused by tooth loss and bone erosion. "Many problems can
occur when a tooth is lost," explains Dr. Davis. "Bone dissolves
and the face can appear sunken in. In addition, teeth shift, the
bite is altered and functional problems can result. Dental
implants offer an ideal means of tooth replacement." Dr. Davis believes that with a properly built foundation, a
beautiful and esthetic result is sure to follow.
