Dr. Schlueter and Dr. Boszko specialize in the sophisticated procedure required to “regrow” the previously lost bone around a tooth that has been caused by periodontal disease.

Ridge Expansion / Augmentation

When teeth are lost and not replaced with implants soon after, the bone in the area tends to shrink away, making it less esthetic or difficult to place implants. In severe cases, the ridge has been reabsorbed, and a bone graft is placed to increase ridge height and/or width.

LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure)

LANAP® laser treatment is, in a word – revolutionary. LANAP® laser gum surgery is a minimally invasive therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease and is a virtually painless alternative to many of the more traditional periodontal procedures.

Wilkodontics (Surgically Assisted Orthodontics)

Many patients decline needed orthodontic work because of the time commitment. A new orthodontic treatment called Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (AOO) results in most orthodontic cases being completed 3 to 4 times faster than with conventional orthodontics.

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique

The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique is a blade-free, suture-free surgical procedure used to correct gum recession. Compared to traditional gum grafting surgery, the Chao Pinhole® Technique is faster with minimal discomfort, and it involves less bleeding and recovery time. Dr. Scott Schlueter is an experienced periodontist who can safely and successfully correct your gum recession, resulting in healthier gums and a more beautiful smile.

Sedation & Anxiolysis

  • Sedation & Anxiolysis St. Louis

    No matter how well informed about a treatment you are, at Schlueter Periodontics and Implants, we know that having an unfamiliar procedure can cause some anxiety and stress. To help alleviate this, we offer three levels of sedation. Please let us know if you are interested in sedation for your procedure. Dr. Scott Schlueter & Dr. Boszko may also recommend one of these options if your procedure is expected to take a considerable amount of time.

  • Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

    This can be very effective and requires very little preparation. After the use, the patient may return to work and requires no escort.

  • Oral Sedation

    Before the appointment, a pre-work-up is necessary, and a sedative pill can be prescribed by Dr. Schlueter & Dr. Boszko. An escort is required after the pill is taken. The patient is sedated and should not drive or return to work for at least 24 hours. The pill can have an amnesic effect and can significantly relax the patient.

  • Intravenous Conscious Sedation

    This is the most effective means of sedation that we offer. It requires an i.v. bag and line that is placed to allow the sedative medications to be administered. This is very similar to sedation for a colonoscopy or other minor medical procedures. A pre-workup is required, and the patient is not allowed to drive or return to work for at least 24 hours from the completion of the procedure.
