Periodontists Drs. Greg Davis and Scott Froum are sensitive to the major role oral health plays in influencing wellness and aesthetics. They have parlayed their advanced training and experience into a host of cosmetic periodontal and implant procedures at their three locations—Southampton, Manhattan and their 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. Froum. "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 and Dr. Froum specialize in soft tissue solutions to correct these problems.
Using the latest biomolecular technology, including growth factors and bone substitutes, the doctors 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." Drs. Davis and Froum believe that with a properly built foundation, a beautiful and esthetic result is sure to follow.
