Comprehensive periodontal and implant care using the latest technology and techniques.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. At Main Line Dental Implant Center, Dr. Steven Liu specializes in dental implant placement, offering patients a permanent solution that restores both function and aesthetics.
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. During the healing process, the bone grows around the implant surface, locking it firmly in place.
Your gums are the foundation that supports your teeth. When gum disease develops, it can threaten not only your oral health but your overall well-being. As a periodontist, Dr. Liu specializes in diagnosing and treating all stages of periodontal disease.
We offer both non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) and Arestin antibiotic therapy, as well as surgical treatments for advanced cases.
A strong jawbone is essential for successful dental implant placement. When bone loss occurs—whether from tooth extraction, gum disease, or injury—bone grafting can restore the foundation needed for implants.
Dr. Liu is highly experienced in bone grafting procedures, using advanced techniques and Piezosurgery technology to rebuild bone with precision and minimal discomfort.
Gum recession—when the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth—can cause sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and put your teeth at risk. Dr. Liu offers several gum grafting solutions, including the innovative Pinhole Surgical Technique.
The Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation technique is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional grafting—no incisions, no sutures, and minimal downtime.
Crown lengthening is a versatile procedure that can transform your smile aesthetically or prepare a tooth for restoration. Whether you're concerned about a "gummy smile" or need to expose more tooth structure for a dental crown, Dr. Liu provides expert treatment.
Using advanced Piezosurgery technology, Dr. Liu precisely reshapes the gum and underlying bone to expose the appropriate amount of tooth structure.
When placing dental implants in the upper back jaw, there must be enough bone between the jaw and the sinus cavity. When bone loss has occurred or the sinuses are naturally large, a sinus augmentation (sinus lift) adds bone to create a solid foundation.
Dr. Liu uses 3D Cone Beam CT imaging to precisely plan the procedure, ensuring safe, predictable results.
Problems with your bite (occlusion) can cause a range of symptoms, from jaw pain and headaches to worn teeth and muscle tension. Dr. Liu offers comprehensive occlusal therapy to diagnose and treat bite disorders.
Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate your bite to identify the source of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.
When periodontal disease destroys bone and tissue around your teeth, regenerative therapy can help rebuild what was lost. Dr. Liu uses cutting-edge techniques and materials to stimulate your body's natural healing processes.
Regenerative procedures go beyond treating infection—they actively rebuild damaged structures using bone grafts, tissue-stimulating proteins, and guided tissue regeneration membranes.
Many patients with gum disease can be effectively treated without surgery. Dr. Liu offers a range of non-surgical periodontal treatments designed to halt disease progression and restore gum health with minimal discomfort.
These conservative approaches are often the first line of defense against periodontal disease, and many patients achieve excellent results without the need for surgical intervention.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed when you brush. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis—a more severe condition that damages the bone supporting your teeth.
Dr. Liu specializes in diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, helping patients preserve their natural teeth whenever possible.
When non-surgical treatments aren't enough to address advanced gum disease, surgical intervention may be necessary. Dr. Liu performs a variety of periodontal surgical procedures to restore gum health and save teeth.
Using advanced techniques including Piezosurgery technology, Dr. Liu ensures precise, minimally invasive procedures with faster healing times and better outcomes.
Before starting orthodontic treatment, it's essential to ensure your gums are healthy. Pre-orthodontic gingival therapy prepares your periodontal tissues for the movement of teeth during braces or clear aligner treatment.
Dr. Liu works closely with orthodontists to ensure patients have optimal gum health before, during, and after orthodontic treatment, preventing complications and achieving the best possible results.
A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and enhance your appearance. Dr. Liu offers professional teeth whitening treatments that are safe, effective, and provide results far superior to over-the-counter products.
Whether you prefer in-office whitening for immediate results or custom take-home trays for gradual whitening at your convenience, we have options to fit your lifestyle and goals.
Dr. Liu will evaluate your needs and recommend the best treatment options for your situation.
