  Bone Grafting

  When you lose a tooth, the underlying jawbone quickly begins to atrophy from a lack of stimulation that was provided by the tooth roots. At a certain point, the jaw will become too weak to support dental implants. A graft replaces lost tissue and promotes new bone growth to create a solid base for dental implants to anchor in. The sinus lift procedure is very similar to a bone graft. The main difference is that it's performed on the upper jaw rather than the lower jaw. The surgeon gently lifts the maxillary sinus to create space within the jaw for the grafting material. Dr. Starr offers both of these preparatory surgeries to Starkville and Columbus patients. We also offer three types of dental sedation, so you won't have to worry about any discomfort during your surgery.

  Laser Dentistry

  Laser dentistry is a form of dentistry that allows your periodontist to address concerns like cavities and gum disease without the use of drills or scalpels. This allows for a more comfortable dental experience, as well as a safer and faster procedure so you can get the care you need for optimal oral health
