DENTAL SERVICES
Advanced Regenerative Dentistry
Smiling, talking, chewing, and singing—so much of life depends on a healthy, comfortable mouth. At CARE | Smiles + Skin, we use holistic, biologic, regenerative dentistry to support your natural mouth microbiome, speed healing, and restore strength and brightness to your bite. From gentle wisdom tooth removal and gum surgery to TMJ relief and full-arch dental implants, we work with you to bring your smile back to life—naturally and comfortably.
Fact: 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth.
Over time this causes bite misalignment, bone loss and the potential for increased medical costs.

PERIODONTAL CARE
Heal inflamed or tender gums and address unresolved periodontal disease before it progresses. Target bone loss around teeth and implants, gum recession, and periodontal pocketing with precise, evidence-based therapy designed to stabilize your oral foundation. By restoring periodontal health, we reduce harmful bacteria, support natural tissue regeneration, protect remaining tooth structure, and create the stable environment necessary for the long-term success and longevity of your dental implants.
-
If painful, tender gums are interfering with your daily life and other treatments haven’t helped, experience advanced periodontal laser therapy. Often, periodontal disease goes undiagnosed until it results in tooth loss and this can occur with or without any pain or noticeable bleeding from the gums, especially in smokers/vapers. Using twin-wavelength lasers from Fotona and Deka, our dentistry experts clean and heal infected gums and promote tissue and bone regeneration with unmatched precision and recovery time.
-
The American Dental Association recommends getting teeth professionally cleaned a minimum of every 6 months, but the majority of people benefit from more frequent cleanings, especially those with dental implants. Allowing our dentistry team to regularly inspect your mouth and review radiographic images of teeth and bone, enables us to keep your mouth fresh and prevent dental issues before they start.

Your regenerative oral surgery experts in Hood River. The muscles, bone, and gum tissues around your bite do far more than help you talk and eat—they shape your face, support your smile, and influence your long-term oral health. When these structures are lost to infection, injury, periodontal disease, or long-standing tooth loss, rebuilding them becomes one of the most complex challenges in dentistry.
At CARE | Smiles + Skin, Dr. Andy’s deep understanding of the tissues and structures that create your unique smile—combined with his advanced training in biologic and regenerative techniques—allows us to restore bone and gum tissue that many believe is impossible to repair. Using platelet-rich biologics, laser-assisted healing, and precise 3D-guided surgery, we help regenerate the foundation your smile depends on.
These procedures require exceptional skill and experience, which is why patients across the Gorge choose CARE for their most delicate and advanced oral surgery needs. With a focus on natural healing, facial support, and faster recovery, we bring the highest standards of regenerative care directly to our community.
| General Oral Surgery |
From traditional tooth extractions to complex sinus lifts, our team has the tools and expertise to help your mouth feel healthy and bright. When bone loss in the jaw occurs, bone grafting procedures are used to regenerate a strong and healthy jaw before implants or tooth replacement with bridges or dentures.| Laser Surgery |
The future is now. Benefit from the unmatched precision and regenerative healing benefits of advanced laser dentistry using both the Fotona Lightwalker and DEKA CO2 lasers. With this technology our team is often able to perform soft tissue oral surgeries, such as frenectomies, without using a scalpel or sutures. When combined with traditional methods, laser therapy is the most effective approach for halting and reversing periodontal disease in a regenerative manner.
| Soft Tissue Grafting (Gum Grafting) |
When gums recede due to genetics, misaligned teeth, or destructive bite forces grafting procedures are used to regrow protective gum tissue. Our expert team employs today’s most advanced soft tissue grafting techniques that not only replace missing gums but also stimulate existing tissue regrowth.

Dental care can feel overwhelming for many people. Our mouths contain thousands of sensory receptors, and the close proximity of dental procedures—combined with past negative experiences—can heighten anxiety. To ensure your comfort, our team exceeds ADA requirements and is certified to provide the safest form of moderate IV sedation, creating a calm, pleasant “twilight” state throughout your procedure.
For those who need deeper support, we also collaborate with top anesthesia groups to offer in-office general anesthesia, bringing hospital-level care directly into our practice when needed. Sedation can make dental treatment easier if you feel nervous, have a fear of needles, experience a strong gag reflex, are extra sensitive to local anesthetics (common in redheads), or if your procedure—such as implants, grafts, or tooth removal—requires complete relaxation.
-
Repairing your unique smile starts with truly understanding the structure beneath it. We use advanced three-dimensional imaging of your jaw, teeth, and face to ensure every diagnosis and treatment plan is precise, safe, and long-lasting. Our team combines CBCT imaging (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) to assess bone density and critical anatomy with 3D intraoral scans and 3D facial scans to evaluate alignment and overall harmony.
To elevate this even further, we integrate powerful AI technology that helps analyze these images for faster, more accurate diagnosis and personalized smile design options. This blend of 3D imaging and intelligent software allows us to create care that fits your biology, your facial structure, and your long-term oral health.
