Our Specialized Procedures:
1.
Scaling and Root Planing (SRP):
SRP is a meticulous deep cleaning procedure that targets plaque and tartar below the gum line. By removing bacterial deposits, we halt the progression of gum disease, preventing tooth loss and promoting gum tissue healing.
2.
Gum Grafting:
Gum grafting procedures restore receded gums, improving both aesthetics and functionality. By grafting healthy tissue to the affected areas, we enhance the gumline's appearance and protect exposed tooth roots.
3.
Pocket Reduction Surgery:
Periodontal pockets, spaces between the gums and teeth, can harbor harmful bacteria. Pocket reduction surgery eliminates these pockets, reducing the risk of infection, gum recession, and tooth instability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Treatment
1. What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. It often begins as gingivitis, causing red, swollen, or bleeding gums. Without treatment, periodontal disease can progress and lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
2. What are the signs that I may need periodontal treatment?
Common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, swollen or tender gums, gum recession, loose teeth, and changes in your bite. If you notice any of these symptoms, scheduling a periodontal evaluation as soon as possible can help prevent the condition from worsening.
3. What is scaling and root planing?
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal treatment often referred to as a deep cleaning. During the procedure, plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and the tooth roots are smoothed to help the gums heal and reduce the buildup of harmful bacteria. This treatment is commonly recommended for patients with early to moderate gum disease.
4. Can gum disease be reversed?
The earliest stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional dental cleanings and improved oral hygiene at home. Once gum disease progresses to periodontitis, it cannot be completely reversed, but it can be effectively managed with periodontal treatment and regular maintenance visits to protect your oral health.
5. How can I prevent gum disease?
The best way to prevent gum disease is by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, attending regular dental cleanings and exams, and avoiding tobacco products. Early detection and routine periodontal evaluations can help identify gum problems before they become more serious and require extensive treatment.
