- [Periodontal Disease](https://www.sunrisedds.com/huntington-beach-ca/periodontal-disease/): Periodontal disease refers to a condition that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. Plaque, a sticky film made of food debris, bacteria, and saliva, builds up on your teeth. If not properly removed, plaque turns into tartar (calculus), which can cause serious damage to the gums and bone. Periodontal disease is often characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.

- [Bone Grafting](https://www.sunrisedds.com/huntington-beach-ca/bone-grafting/): The process begins with a consultation to determine the appropriate type of bone material for your procedure. After administering your chosen form of sedation, we make an incision in the gums to access the affected area. Bone material is then placed, and a bone growth factor is applied to help the new bone integrate with the surrounding tissue. Once the graft heals and fuses with the surrounding bone, we’ll schedule the placement of your implant or the fitting of a new denture. Bone grafting is a quick and effective solution to restore the health and appearance of your smile.
- [Crown Lengthening](https://www.sunrisedds.com/huntington-beach-ca/crown-lengthening/): Crown lengthening is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. The duration of the procedure depends on the number of teeth involved and whether any bone needs to be removed in addition to the soft tissue. If you already have dental crowns, they will be removed prior to the procedure and replaced immediately afterward.

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners don’t use brackets or wires, making them a discreet and comfortable alternative. The aligners are worn in a series, gradually shifting your teeth to create a beautiful, straight smile.
- [Dental Implants](https://www.sunrisedds.com/huntington-beach-ca/dental-implants/): Implants
- [Root Canals](https://www.sunrisedds.com/huntington-beach-ca/root-canals/): Your root canal treatment will begin with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. To keep the area clean and dry, a rubber dental dam is placed around the affected tooth. The dentist will then carefully remove any decay until reaching the inner pulp of the tooth. Using specialized instruments, the infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned.
