Discover Comprehensive Gum Care for Your Smile Needs
When you visit Crawford Implant Dentistry and Laser Periodontics, you benefit from an experienced team that is passionate about giving you outstanding treatment. Drs. Bruce and Garrett Crawford have been taking care of smiles for more than 35 years combined. He is a sought after expert in his field. He invests in his patients with advanced technology and modern treatment techniques.
During your appointment, he'll discuss the symptoms you are experiencing. You may have noticed red or inflamed gum tissue, bleeding when you brush or floss, bad breath, or even loose teeth. Next, he'll do a thorough exam of your mouth. We will take digital X-rays and scans of your mouth for planning purposes.
We'll Solve Gum Problems, From Simple to Advanced
Depending on the condition of your mouth, he may recommend one or more of the following:
Deep Cleaning Treatment
We can treat the early stages of gum disease with scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning procedure will restore your gum health.
Laser Gum Therapy
Dr. Crawford will use a special laser to eliminate the infected gum tissue. It's ideal for more advanced gum infections. There is minimal discomfort and faster healing with this cutting-edge technology.
ClearCorrect Orthodontics
Crooked or misaligned teeth give bacteria more places to hide. Your periodontist may suggest this treatment to ensure the best possible outcome for your gum treatment. Straightening your teeth with these popular clear aligners takes less time than braces.
Gum Recession Treatment
Using a special pinhole technique, your gum tissue is loosened and positioned to cover the recession. It doesn't use any cutting or stitching. As a result, you'll have minimal discomfort and less risk of post-operative infection.
Gum Grafting
Dr. Crawford may suggest a grafting procedure for more serious gum recession. It uses tissue from a donor or from inside your mouth to restore your gumline.
Bone Grafting
If your teeth have been impacted by bone loss following a periodontal infection, a bone graft procedure will encourage bone growth and help preserve your teeth.
An Experience Patients Trust
Dr. Crawford provided exceptional and compassionate service by helping me fix my left front tooth, which is an implant that fell out. Dr. Crawford came to the office during a holiday weekend to bring healing. They were warm, kind, and I felt as if I were a family member. I definitely recommend Dr. Crawford's office to anyone looking for a highly skilled and empathetic specialty dentist.

I've been a patient with Dr. Crawford for nearly 25 years. He and his staff are very up to date on new procedures, very friendly, efficient, easy to work with if you need to rearrange appointments and helpful dealing with insurance. I think you would have a hard time finding another office with more knowledge and experience to handle your periodontal issues.

Dr. Crawford and his staff are wonderful. They are friendly, competent, and compassionate. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed. They have taken care of my teeth for decades. I seriously doubt I would still have my own teeth if it were not for their care. And I am 80 years old! I recommend Dr. Crawford without hesitation.
