What Is Periodontal Disease?
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Periodontal health is just as important as the health of your teeth, and we’re here to provide comprehensive periodontal treatment and maintenance to keep your gums strong and disease-free.
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It starts as gingivitis, which is a mild form of gum disease that can cause red, swollen, or bleeding gums.
If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.
Symptoms of periodontal disease include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your gums and teeth.
Our Periodontal Treatment Services
We offer a range of periodontal treatments designed to treat and manage gum disease, ensuring your gums remain healthy and your smile stays strong.
1. Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gum line. This treatment helps remove bacteria, smooth the tooth roots, and promote gum healing.
Scaling and root planing are often the first line of defense for patients with early to moderate periodontal disease.
2. Periodontal Maintenance
After your initial treatment, periodontal maintenance is crucial to keep your gums healthy and prevent disease from returning. We’ll work with you to establish a maintenance plan, which may include more frequent cleanings, monitoring, and adjustments to your oral care routine.
Regular periodontal maintenance visits help keep your gums free from infection and ensure any issues are detected early.
3. Laser Gum Therapy
For advanced cases of gum disease, laser gum therapy can provide a minimally invasive solution. Using advanced laser technology, we can target and remove infected gum tissue, promoting faster healing with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
This modern treatment option is highly effective in treating periodontal disease while preserving healthy tissue.
4. Gum Grafting
In cases where gum recession has occurred, we offer gum grafting to restore your gums to a healthy state. This procedure involves taking tissue from another area in your mouth or using donor tissue to cover exposed tooth roots.
Gum grafting helps protect teeth from decay, reduces sensitivity, and improves the appearance of your smile.
5. Periodontal Surgery
In severe cases of gum disease where non-surgical treatments aren’t enough, periodontal surgery may be necessary. We will assess the extent of the disease and discuss your options for surgical treatment, which can help restore gum health and prevent further tooth loss.
