An implant acts as the natural root, supporting a crown, bridge or even dentures. Dental implants do more than restore your smile; they are an investment in your health, preventing bone loss, shifting teeth, gum disease, and more.
​​
Gum disease can eat away at the bone and hard tissue surrounding your teeth. When this happens, a bone graft builds up the foundation around your teeth to maintain its health.
​
Additionally, if you’ve lost a tooth due to gum disease or trauma and are considering an implant, a bone graft may be necessary to ensure the implant is a success.
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, let’s make it shine.

At Hansen Periodontics, we love helping patients achieve the smiles they’ve always dreamed of.
Dr. Hansen and team deliver the highest quality in everything we do and are proud to offer state of the art excellence in cosmetic dentistry.
Your gums protect your teeth and sometimes this gum tissue can gradually start to wear away, exposing the roots of your teeth. This can cause a number of dental health problems and also hurt the appearance of your smile.
One of the tried-and-true methods for correcting this issue is a gum graft surgery, also called soft tissue augmentation or gingival grafting. We are proud to offer this treatment to patients throughout Reno and Northern Nevada.
A successful dental implant procedure is largely dependent on the quantity and quality of the bone where the implant is placed.
If you need a dental implant in the upper back of your mouth, the proximity to your sinus cavity, and lack of bone height in this area, can make this procedure difficult.
Sinus lift surgery is often the answer.
Using advanced techniques, Dr. Hansen will ensure a successful implant by raising your sinus floor before regenerating sufficient bone.
We do everything we can to preserve your natural smile. But when removing a tooth is the only option, we make the process easy.

Dr. Hansen is known throughout Northern Nevada for her gentle and considerate approach to teeth extractions. With the full spectrum of sedation options available, should you need them, your experience will be seamless.
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection attacking the foundation of your teeth. It is usually caused by plaque and calculus build-up around the gumline. If your body doesn’t respond well to this invasion, it will lead to tooth loss. Other symptoms include:
-
Swollen gums that bleed easily
-
Sensitive teeth
-
Bad breath (halitosis)
-
Gum recession and bone loss
Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP) is a high-tech, minimally-invasive, and FDA-approved laser periodontal treatment.
​
This modern technique treats gum disease, helps regrow healthy gum tissue, and prevents gum recession — all while leaving healthy tissue intact.
Scaling and root planing (SRP) is one of the most common treatments for early to advanced periodontal disease. Commonly referred to as a deep cleaning, this non-surgical procedure involves reaching beyond the gum line to remove plaque buildup and promote healing.
By catching signs of gum disease early on and taking preventive action, Dr. Hansen will help you maintain a clean and healthy mouth for life.
