Our Key Services

Gum Grafting

Your gums provide an invaluable barrier against disease and temperature sensitivity for your teeth. When they recede, you lose that protection in addition to your smile aesthetics. With gum grafting, Dr. Filippi replaces any missing gum tissue, helping you regain a healthy, even gumline.

About Gum Grafting

Dental Implants

Missing teeth spoil your smile and increase your risk of further tooth and bone loss. With the look, feel, and function of real teeth, dental implants provide the ideal replacement. Implants do not decay and are made to last a lifetime with proper care. They enable you to do everything your lost teeth did, and more.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a progressive condition that can reach an incurable state if it’s not treated at the first sign of symptoms. With his broad training, Dr. Filippi provides everything from non-surgical treatment options to more complex surgical solutions that require his specialist expertise.
