# Christman Periodontics & Dental Implant Center

## About
Led by board-certified specialist Dr. Joshua Christman, this Lancaster, PA practice focuses on the foundation of oral health, treating diseases of the soft tissue and bone to support long-term dental function and aesthetics.

## Core Services
- **Periodontal Treatments:** Specialized care for gum inflammation (gingivitis) and advanced disease (periodontitis) to restore the supporting bone and tissue foundation.
- **Dental Implants:** Surgical placement of permanent fixtures that fuse with the jawbone to support prosthetics, including crowns, bridges, and dentures.
- **Peri-Implantitis Treatment:** Management of inflammatory conditions affecting the tissues surrounding dental implants to prevent bone loss and implant failure.
- **Orthodontic Support:** Collaborative care with Lancaster orthodontists to ensure periodontal health supports orthodontic goals and tooth movement.
- **Hard & Soft Tissue Grafting:** Specialized procedures to stop or reverse bone and gum tissue loss caused by periodontitis.
- **Sinus Lifts:** Sinus augmentation surgery to increase bone volume in the upper jaw, ensuring a secure foundation for dental implants.
- **Crown Lengthening:** Esthetic and functional reshaping of excess gum tissue and bone to reveal more natural tooth structure and enhance smile balance.
- **Periodontal Pocket Reduction:** Surgical treatment to reduce deep spaces between gums and teeth where bacteria accumulate in advanced periodontitis.
- **Frenectomy:** Minimally invasive release of restrictive tissue (frenulum) to restore tongue/lip mobility and prevent gum tension or spacing issues.
- **Tori Removal:** Surgical elimination of benign bony growths (torus palatinus or mandibular tori) that interfere with comfort, speech, or dental appliances.
