gums. Some patients, including those with diabetes and
those who smoke, may be at an increased risk of gum
disease. Some may have loose teeth or their teeth no

Comprehensive Care for Healthy
Gums and a Strong Smile Gum recession and advanced
periodontal disease can cause discomfort, sensitivity, and increase your
risk of tooth loss. At our Santa Monica practice, Dr. Richard Haber DDS
provides expert gum grafting
and periodontal flap surgery
to restore gum health and protect your teeth.
Gum grafting is a
surgical procedure used to replace lost gum tissue and cover exposed
tooth roots. This helps reduce sensitivity, prevents further gum
recession, and improves the appearance of your smile. The graft tissue
may come from your own mouth or be sourced from a safe donor material,
carefully matched to create a natural look and feel.
Periodontal flap surgery
is designed to treat deep gum pockets caused by bacterial infection.
During the procedure, the gums are gently lifted to allow thorough
cleaning of tooth roots and removal of diseased tissue. After cleaning,
the gums are repositioned to fit snugly around the teeth, reducing
pocket depth and promoting healing. Dr. Haber is committed to providing
compassionate care using advanced techniques that prioritize your
comfort and long-term oral health. Early treatment of gum disease with
these procedures can help prevent more serious complications such as
bone loss and tooth mobility. If you’re experiencing symptoms
like gum sensitivity, bleeding, or recession, schedule a consultation
with Dr. Richard Haber DDS in Santa Monica today to explore how gum
grafting and periodontal flap surgery can restore your gum health and
keep your smile strong.
Rebuilding Your Jawbone for a
Healthy, Stable Smile Bone loss in the jaw can occur due to
tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, and it can compromise your oral
health and the success of dental treatments like implants. At our Santa
Monica dental office, Dr.
Richard Haber DDS offers expert
bone grafting
procedures to restore and strengthen your jawbone, providing a solid
foundation for long-lasting dental restorations.
What is Bone Grafting? Bone grafting is often recommended
before dental implant placement to ensure implants have enough bone
support for stability and durability. It can also help maintain facial
structure and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with bone
loss. With years of experience in
advanced dental surgery, Dr. Haber uses precise techniques and the
latest technology to make your bone grafting procedure as comfortable
and effective as possible. Early intervention with bone grafting can
improve your oral health outcomes and support your smile for years to
come. If you have experienced bone loss
or are planning dental implants, schedule a consultation with Dr.
Richard Haber DDS in Santa Monica today to learn how bone grafting can
help restore your jawbone and enhance your oral health.
Dr Haber will evaluate the patient's smile
and determine the extent and severity of the gum disease
along with the most appropriate treatment methods.

inflammation. This essential treatment is the first line of defense
against gingivitis
and periodontitis,
helping to prevent tooth loss and maintain your overall oral health.

Gingivectomy in Santa Monica
A gingivectomy is a
periodontal surgical procedure that involves removing excess or diseased
gum tissue. This is often recommended when gum disease has caused deep
pockets around the teeth, or when overgrown gums interfere with oral
hygiene or the look of your smile. By precisely trimming and reshaping
the gum line, the procedure helps reduce bacteria buildup, makes
brushing and flossing easier, and can enhance your smile’s appearance.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that adds bone material to areas
of the jaw where bone has deteriorated or is insufficient. This process
encourages new bone growth, helping to rebuild the structure and density
of your jaw. The graft material can come from your own body, a donor, or
synthetic sources—each carefully selected to promote optimal healing and
integration.
