What Are Periodontal Services?
Periodontal services focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontitis) and related conditions. These treatments not only improve oral health but also support overall wellness, as gum disease has been linked to systemic health concerns.
Preventive and Non-Surgical Treatments
Our goal is to stop gum disease before it progresses. Early intervention can make a significant difference:
- Professional Teeth Cleaning: Removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria to maintain healthy gums.
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that eliminates bacteria beneath the gumline and smooths root surfaces.
- Bruxism Treatment: Custom solutions like nightguards to prevent teeth grinding and reduce stress on gums and bone.
- Oral Cancer Exams: Routine screenings to detect abnormalities early and ensure peace of mind.
Advanced Periodontal Solutions
When more advanced care is needed, we provide cutting-edge treatments to restore gum and bone health:
- Gum Grafting: Rebuilds receding gums and protects tooth roots.
- Crown Lengthening: Reshapes gum tissue to expose more of the tooth for functional or cosmetic purposes.
- Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration: Encourages natural regrowth of lost bone and tissue.
- Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP): Promotes bone regeneration in targeted areas.
- Advanced Periodontal Surgery: Addresses severe gum disease with precise, effective techniques.
- Bite Adjustments: Improves alignment and reduces excess pressure on teeth and gums.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Care
If you notice bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, it may be time to seek professional care. Early diagnosis leads to more conservative and effective treatment options.
