Dental Services for Clinton TN Patients
Gum Disease Treatment & Surgery
Dr. Cain offers advanced periodontal surgery and cosmetic gum treatments near Clinton, TN. His surgical expertise helps patients overcome gum disease, improve oral health, and enhance the appearance of their smile.
A sinus lift is a bone grafting procedure that creates space for dental implants in your upper jaw. If you’ve lost teeth in your upper back jaw, the bone often becomes too thin to support implants. Dr. Cain carefully lifts the sinus and places bone graft material to build adequate bone height. This procedure makes successful implant placement possible even when you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone.
If you have a gummy smile or excess gum tissue covering your teeth, a gingivectomy can help. This procedure removes excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth structure. Dr. Cain also uses this treatment to eliminate deep gum pockets caused by severe gum disease. He makes it easier for you to maintain healthy gums.
Modern Dental Technology
Dr. Cain uses the latest dental technology to ensure your routine and surgical dental treatments run smoothly. These methods and machines
- iTero Scanner: This digital scanner takes detailed 3D pictures of your teeth and gums. You won’t need messy impression trays that make some patients gag. The scanner creates clear images that help Dr. Cain plan your treatment perfectly.
- LANAP: Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure treats gum disease without traditional surgery. The FDA-approved laser removes infected tissue and protects healthy gums. Most patients feel less pain and swelling after LANAP compared to traditional gum surgery. You’ll also heal faster.
- Sirona 3-D Imaging: This advanced X-ray machine takes three-dimensional pictures of your jaw, teeth, and bone. Dr. Cain can see exactly where to place dental implants and spot any problems before your surgery. This technology makes implant procedures safer and more predictable.
