Your smile isn’t just an expression of joy — it’s a reflection of your overall health and well-being. And while it’s easy to think about brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings as small parts of your routine, those daily habits have a huge impact on your body’s health from head to toe. So, this Thanksgiving, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the connection between gratitude, good oral hygiene, and gum health — because healthy gums truly give you something to smile about.

If you’ve ever winced while breathing in cold air or felt a zing of discomfort while enjoying your favorite warm drink, you’re not alone. Many patients notice heightened oral sensitivity during the winter months. But how do you know if it’s just temporary cold-weather irritation — or a sign of a deeper issue, like gum recession or periodontal disease?

We believe every patient deserves a strong, healthy foundation for their smile. That’s where ridge augmentation comes in — a proven, advanced periodontal procedure designed to restore the natural shape and strength of your jawbone after tooth loss, trauma, or long-term bone resorption.
