Elevating Gum & Implant Care Through Modern Technology
At Columbus Periodontics & Implants, we combine clinical expertise with state-of-the-art technology to deliver precision, comfort, and outstanding results. Our investment in advanced tools enhances diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical accuracy, and healing — all geared toward preserving your oral health and restoring your smile with predictability and care.
Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP)
Our practice proudly offers LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) — a minimally invasive, laser-based treatment for gum disease that works through regeneration rather than traditional resection. Using a specialized Nd:YAG dental laser, we target diseased periodontal pockets, eliminate harmful bacteria and diseased tissue, and encourage the regeneration of healthy gum and bone structure without scalpels or sutures.
Key Benefits:
- Less discomfort and swelling
- Reduced bleeding
- Faster healing times
- Potential for true periodontal regeneration
Soft Tissue Grafting & Regenerative Techniques
Soft tissue grafting is an essential treatment for gum recession, a condition that can expose root surfaces and increase sensitivity or risk of decay. We use advanced grafting techniques to restore lost gum tissue, improve stability around teeth and implants, and enhance aesthetics.
Whether from your own tissue or using high-quality graft materials, our approach prioritizes predictable healing and natural-looking results.
Digital Imaging & 3D Visualization
We use digital radiography and 3D imaging to evaluate your oral structures with exceptional clarity. These precise imaging tools help guide treatment planning for periodontal therapy and dental implant placement.
Key Benefits:
- Digital X-Rays: instantaneous high-resolution imaging with minimal radiation exposure.
- Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT):three-dimensional views of bone, soft tissue, nerve pathways, and sinus anatomy provide detailed insight before surgery or implant placement.
Intraoral Scanning & Digital Impressions (DDS, MSD)
Traditional impression materials can be uncomfortable and imprecise. With digital intraoral scanning, we gently capture highly accurate 3D models of your teeth and tissues — improving restorative planning and communication with your dental team.
Key Benefits:
- Faster, more accurate impressions
- Better prosthetic fit and fewer adjustments
- Enhanced patient comfort
Computer-Guided Implant Planning & Surgical Precision
Advanced planning software allows us to map the optimal implant position based on your unique anatomy. Using digital models and CBCT data, we plan every implant placement with precision, helping to minimize complications and improve outcomes.
This technology increases surgical predictability and strengthens communication between your periodontist and restorative dentist.
All-On-X Full-Arch Implant Restoration
All-On-X is a modern implant solution for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth on one or both arches. Using just four to six carefully positioned implants, we can support a full set of fixed, natural-looking teeth — often in a single visit. The implants are angled to work with the bone you already have, which means many patients qualify even if they've experienced bone loss and were told implants weren't an option.
Key Benefits:
- Full arch of teeth supported by as few as four implants
- Fixed in place — no removal, no adhesives, no slipping
- Same-day temporary teeth in most cases
- Works for patients with limited bone density
- Long-lasting results with proper care
In-House 3D Printing
Having a 3D printer in our Columbus office means we can create many of the appliances you need right here — no outside lab, no long wait times. We print full dentures in house, which allows us to deliver a same-day smile for the majority of our implant patients. Beyond implant restorations, our 3D printer lets us quickly produce a range of custom appliances to keep your care moving forward without unnecessary gaps.
Key Benefits:
- Same-day dentures printed and delivered in most cases
- Essix retainers made in house so you're never without teeth, especially in visible areas
- Custom occlusal guards printed to fit your bite precisely
- Temporary dentures available while your final restoration is being finalized
- Faster turnaround on appliances compared to traditional lab outsourcing
