Periodontics
Specialized treatment of gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth to preserve oral health.
Understanding Periodontics
Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition that can range from simple gum inflammation (gingivitis) to severe disease that can lead to major damage to the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth, and eventually, tooth loss. Our periodontists are experts in managing these conditions to restore and maintain your gum health.
Our Periodontal Services Include:
- **Scaling and Root Planing:** Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
- **Gum Grafting:** To cover exposed tooth roots and reduce gum recession.
- **Pocket Reduction Surgery:** To reduce the depth of gum pockets around teeth.
- **Regenerative Procedures:** To stimulate the growth of new bone and gum tissue.
- **Dental Implant Placement:** Surgical placement of implants for missing teeth.
Maintaining healthy gums is crucial for your overall oral health and the longevity of your teeth. Our periodontal specialists are dedicated to providing advanced care to effectively treat gum disease and help you achieve a healthy, stable foundation for your smile.
