A Diplomate of the American Academy of Periodontology with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from Howard University and advanced periodontics training at USC, Mission Hills Periodontics - Dr. Stephen Munroe anchors a referral-driven gum and implant practice in Mission Hills. The Washington Street office handles complex cases sent over by general dentists such as Mission Hills Dental Group when restorative work requires periodontal surgery before crown or bridge placement. IV sedation certification allows full-mouth extraction sequences and guided bone grafting to be completed in single visits rather than spread across multiple appointments. A 3D cone beam scanner maps bone density and nerve position before each implant placement, supporting both single-tooth restorations and full-arch reconstructions. Sinus lift procedures and ridge augmentation prepare atrophied upper jaws for implant placement when pneumatized maxillary sinuses would otherwise rule out posterior implants, the same multi-stage workflow that brings cases to specialty surgical groups including Center for Oral & Facial Surgery. The most involved cases combine extraction of failing dentition, immediate implant placement, and bone grafting under IV sedation for full-arch immediate-load restorations.
