| Hello. I’m Dr. Stuart Pechter. Welcome to our office website. We’ve designed this website as an introduction to our office, and to provide useful information about current periodontal and dental implant therapies. We are dedicated to providing you with individually personalized care to satisfy your specific needs and circumstances. I have a passion for improving the quality of people's lives by helping to restore their ability to chew and smile with confidence. While I will not shy away from advising you of the best treatments available, you will always be presented with reasonable alternatives, so that you will be able to make informed decisions regarding your own dental and periodontal health. |

| CONSERVATIVE PHILOSOPHY: |
|
| I truly believe in, and practice a conservative approach to periodontal therapy. We make every effort to preserve your natural teeth with the least amount of treatment possible. Key to this is the initial phase of periodontal therapy, known as scaling & root planing, which is described in greater detail in the “Periodontal Disease and Treatment” section of this website. When expertly performed, initial root planing can avert the need for more aggressive and expensive treatment. In many cases, no additional treatment is required. To maximize the benefits of initial periodontal therapy, I perform all root planing myself, rather than delegating this to a hygienist, as is often done in other offices. |
| |
| To support the positive results gained from initial root planing, I make a point of checking each patient at their regular recall maintenance appointments with the hygienist. This is included in the maintenance fee at no extra charge. It is an added value of periodontal care at our office. |
| |
| Conservative therapy is almost always an option that patients can consider. Even if it will not completely reverse or correct existing problems, conservative treatment can stabilize the periodontal status, so that your condition does not continue to deteriorate as rapidly. This can give you time to plan out and schedule more definitive treatment at a pace that is comfortable for you. |

| DENTAL IMPLANTS |
| |
| Dental implants have revolutionized the field of dentistry, and periodontology in particular. Whereas in the past, extensive periodontal and restorative therapy were necessary to salvage severely compromised teeth, today, these teeth are more effectively replaced with dental implants. The cost of an implant is comparable to the cost of a permanent bridge to replace a tooth, and the implant has several advantages over a bridge. So if a desire to learn more about dental implants is what brought you to our web site, you won’t be disappointed. |
| |
| We have an excellent interactive video implant presentation that you can access by clicking the “Dental Implant Presentation” box at the top of this page. This can be viewed effectively with either a dial-up, or a broadband high speed connection. The presentation also shows how bone grafting can make it possible for you to have dental implants, even if you have been told in the past, that you did not have enough bone for implants. In addition to the interactive video, there is an entire section of our website, devoted to dental implants, that can be reached through this link, or via the navigation bar at the top or the bottom of the page. So please take your time, and spend a few minutes exploring the ways that dental implants can improve your oral health. And I encourage you to survey the rest of our website to learn more about periodontal therapy, our office, and our dedicated periodontal team. |
