Full Arch Dental Implants

Full arch dental implants are a comprehensive tooth replacement solution for those missing most or all their teeth in one or both dental arches. These implants typically consist of 4-6 implants placed into the jawbone, where they integrate over several months. Once healed, custom-made replacement teeth are securely attached to the implants, giving you a healthy smile!

perio maintenance

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal maintenance, or dental deep cleaning, is a teeth cleaning performed after periodontal disease has been diagnosed and treated with scaling and root planing. This dental deep-cleaning procedure removes bacteria above and below the gum line and tartar buildup from deep between the teeth and gums. Periodontal maintenance helps maintain the health of the gums and bones surrounding the teeth.

Dr. Glazier is hands down the best periodontist in the Richmond area. I was referred to him after I finished my orthodontic treatment and I’m so glad I made the decision to go with him. I had a gingivectomy and I hardly felt anything during the procedure. Healing process was rough a few days afterwards , but other than that my recovery was great. Dr. Glazier takes pride in his work and has such a great bedside manner. He makes sure you are satisfied with your results and provides a safe space to speak up. Such a cool dude. Also Angie and Christy were so sweet and kind. The staff really has a warm , family like atmosphere and good vibes all around. Thank you Dr. Glazier , Angie , and Christy for all that you have done for me. I appreciate you all so much ❤️❤️😊😊

Phenomenal Doctor! Dr . Glazier and his staff are the best of the best. I can’t begin to describe what a pleasure it was to visit his practice. He’s probably the best communicator in the medical field I’ve ever encountered.. I’m usually afraid and nervous while entering a medical scenario.. Dr. Glazier put me at ease within minutes. He went above and beyond what any doctor has ever done for me. I’m so grateful and thankful to have found my way to his office and would recommend him to everyone ! A+ knowledge A+ communication A+ bedside manner

Superlative! No one loves gum grafts, but Dr. Glazier made this procedure simple, painless, and with almost no recovery time. He listened because I had previously had surgery in which they graphed my palate, and my speech was affected for over a year. He heard this and tried another area; I never felt a thing. The office's friendly approach to treating each patient as they would want to be treated is unmatched. I loved listening to the gong as I left today, knowing this procedure was far easier and almost pleasant. Thank you!

I love Dr Glazier. I’m one of those patients who experience high anxiety about going to the dentist. After my first visit, I never experienced anxiety in his office again. He took such great care of me. Aside from being so highly skilled in his field, he is truly compassionate and trustworthy. He took such great care of me. I also want to give kudos to his dental assistant (Angie and I hope I got your name, right) I love them both! Unfortunately, I no longer live in Virginia, but I sing his praises wherever I go.
