Periodontics: Specialized Care for Healthy Gums & Lasting Smiles

The Foundation of Your Oral Health Starts Here

At [Your Practice Name], we understand that a healthy smile begins with healthy gums and a strong foundation. Our dedicated periodontics specialty focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontal disease), as well as the placement of dental implants. Led by our highly skilled [Board-Certified Periodontist / team of specialists], we are committed to preserving your natural teeth, restoring the health of your gums, and providing solutions for missing teeth, ensuring your smile remains vibrant and functional for years to come.

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to the supporting structures of your teeth – the gums, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. These vital tissues anchor your teeth in place and protect them from disease. When these structures are compromised by infection (like gingivitis or periodontitis), it can lead to serious oral health issues, including tooth loss, and can even impact your overall systemic health. Our periodontic services are designed to address these concerns with precision and expertise.

Our Comprehensive Periodontal Services Include:

We offer a full spectrum of advanced periodontal treatments and procedures tailored to your unique needs:

• Thorough Periodontal Evaluation & Diagnosis:
  • Comprehensive assessment of gum health, bone levels, and risk factors using advanced diagnostic tools including digital X-rays and 3D imaging (CBCT).
  • Early detection of gingivitis, periodontitis, and other oral conditions.
• Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning):
  • Non-surgical treatment to meticulously remove plaque, calculus (tartar), and bacterial toxins from below the gum line.
  • Smooths root surfaces to discourage bacterial re-attachment and promote gum reattachment.
• Gum Grafting (Connective Tissue Grafts, Free Gingival Grafts):
  • Surgical procedures to cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, stop further gum recession, and improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile.
  • Restores healthy gum tissue lost due to recession.
• Osseous (Bone) Surgery / Pocket Reduction Surgery:
  • Reshapes damaged bone around teeth to eliminate deep periodontal pockets where bacteria thrive.
  • Reduces the risk of future infection and helps prevent further bone loss.
• Bone Regeneration / Guided Tissue Regeneration:
  • Advanced techniques to stimulate the regrowth of lost bone and supporting tissues around teeth.
  • Utilizes bone grafts, membranes, and growth factors to promote natural regeneration.
• Crown Lengthening:
  • A procedure to reshape gum tissue and bone to expose more of the natural tooth structure.
  • Performed for cosmetic reasons (to correct a "gummy smile") or to prepare a tooth for a crown or other restoration.
• Dental Implant Placement & Restoration:
  • The most effective and durable solution for replacing missing teeth. We meticulously place high-quality dental implants that act as artificial tooth roots.
  • Provides a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring chewing function and aesthetic appeal.
• Pre-Prosthetic Surgery (Sinus Lifts & Ridge Augmentation):
  • Procedures performed to prepare the jawbone for successful dental implant placement when there is insufficient bone.
  • Increases bone volume in the upper jaw (sinus lift) or widens/heightens the jawbone (ridge augmentation).
• Periodontal Maintenance & Ongoing Care:
  • Regular follow-up appointments and specialized cleanings after active periodontal treatment.
  • Crucial for preventing the recurrence of gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health.
• Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures:
  • Gum recontouring and reshaping to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing gum line.
  • Enhances the overall appearance of your smile.
