There is more to caring for your smile than cleanings and fillings. Sometimes it means treating infected teeth, damaged gums or missing teeth. At West Frisco Dental and Implants, that care comes from a specialist: our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Natalia Ovcharenko, with sedation options so you can relax through every procedure.
Why a specialist matters
Periodontists complete three years of surgical training beyond dental school, focused on the gums, the jawbone and dental implants. That training shows in the details: extractions that preserve the bone for a future implant, grafts with minimal discomfort, and implants placed exactly where the 3D scan says they belong.
Because our practice also includes a prosthodontist and a general dentist, the restorative part of your treatment, whether a crown, a bridge or a full arch of new teeth, is planned together and finished in the same office.
Oral cancer screenings and biopsies
Oral cancer is not caused only by tobacco or alcohol; certain viruses and sun exposure can cause it too. We screen every patient at routine visits, and when a suspicious spot needs a closer look, Dr. Ovcharenko can perform a biopsy in the office.
