Why Choose Dr. Robert Cain?
Dr. Cain is a board-certified periodontist and oral surgeon who has served the Knoxville and Farragut communities since 1997. After earning his dental degree from the University of Tennessee, Memphis, he completed advanced training in periodontics at both UT Memphis and the VA Medical Center.
While he focuses on gum surgery and implant treatment, he also offers routine dental care. Dr. Cain focuses on treating the foundation of your smile so you can eat and speak comfortably.
Routine Dental Cleanings
Our registered dental hygienists (RDH) provide thorough dental cleanings at every visit. Regular cleanings are one of the best ways to protect your teeth and gums from disease. During your cleaning appointment, your hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup that you can’t remove with regular brushing and flossing at home.
Professional cleanings also include a complete oral exam. Dr. Cain checks for early signs of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Catching these issues early means simpler, less expensive treatment. We recommend scheduling cleanings every six months to keep your smile healthy.
Dental Implant Services
Whether you’ve knocked out a tooth in an accident or have lived with removable dentures for years, you deserve a permanent solution. Dental implants are the strongest, most natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. Unlike dentures that slip and slide, implants stay firmly in place because they’re anchored directly into your jawbone.
Implants can secure crowns, bridges, and dentures. If you’re missing a single tooth, Dr. Cain can place one implant with a crown. For multiple missing teeth, he can use several implants to support a bridge. If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, implants provide a stable foundation for dentures.
Farragut dentist Dr. Cain offers All-on-Four dental implants for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced. This innovative treatment uses just four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. Many patients can receive their new teeth in a single day. All-on-Four gives you back the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Gum Recession Treatment
If you have gum recession, you may notice your teeth look longer than they used to or feel sensitive to hot and cold. Receding gums expose tooth roots, which can lead to decay, sensitivity, and even tooth loss if left untreated. Dr. Cain offers several advanced treatments to restore your gumline and protect your teeth.
- Chao Pinhole Technique: This minimally invasive procedure treats gum recession without cutting or stitches. Dr. Cain makes a tiny pinhole in your gum tissue and uses special instruments to gently reposition your gums over the exposed roots. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and fast healing.
- Osseous Surgery: When gum disease has damaged the bone supporting your teeth, osseous surgery can help. Dr. Cain reshapes the damaged bone and removes bacteria-filled pockets. This procedure creates a healthier environment for your gums to reattach and heal properly.
- Soft Tissue Allografts: This treatment uses donor tissue to rebuild areas where gums have receded. Dr. Cain carefully places the graft tissue over exposed roots to restore your natural gumline. They don’t require taking tissue from the roof of your mouth, which means less discomfort during recovery.
