Dr. Sazima and his team at Westlake Periodontics offers a range of approaches to your periodontal care and will personally interact with you to come up with the best treatment options for your dental concerns. We are committed to providing oral surgery, extractions, bone grafting, affordable dental implants and excellent follow-up care that improves general pain or resolves problems in your mouth completely. We will personally follow up to make sure that general pain is relieved, problems are resolved, and dental health improves. Dr. Sazima also works with insurance companies so that patients can receive their benefits whether they have private or public coverage; he facilitates financing if there is need for it as well!

Among our many tools, Dr. Sazima also uses Powertome which allows for tooth extraction that is extremely precise with little to no associated bone loss when using this tool! The piezosurgery technique also makes our work time efficient by cutting around tissue without damage, while maximizing patient comfort levels.

Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed on your teeth, gums, jaw or surrounding oral and facial structures. The recovery period post oral surgery is relatively quick, meaning you may be able to resume normal activities in about 2-3 days.

Gum Disease is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and without treatment can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Treatment starts with the removal of plaque and hardened deposits on the tooth root surfaces.

A periodontist, like Dr. Sazima, is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal, or disease, and in the placement of dental implants. They also help you manage any signs of gum problems like oral inflammation.

Sometimes teeth may need to be removed due to decay, disease, crowding or even a traumatic incident. If you feel you have a tooth that may need removed, our professionals at Westlake Periodontics can ensure that you receive the best care possible.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure preformed using transplanted bone to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones in the jaw that anchors teeth, using one or more different bone grafting options.

If you or your dentist notices gum recession, it is possible you may need a gum graft, which involves carefully placing small amounts of new tissue in an area where little or no gum tissue currently exists.

We use traditional instruments, as well as powertome to extract teeth with little or no bone loss. We are one of the few providers in Northeastern Ohio using Piezosurgery, which is an ultrasound technique for cutting bone without damaging surrounding tissue.
