Comprehensive Periodontal Treatment: Reclaim Your Oral Health & A Confident Smile

Are You Experiencing Unhealthy Gums?

Do you suffer from bleeding gums when you brush or floss? Are your gums swollen, red, or tender? Do you have persistent bad breath, notice your teeth looking longer, or feel like some teeth are becoming loose? These could be signs of gum disease, a common yet serious infection that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health.

Our advanced periodontal treatments are designed to stop the progression of gum disease, restore the health of your gums and supporting bone, and protect your beautiful smile for years to come.

What is Periodontal Treatment?

Periodontal treatment is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis). It addresses the health of the tissues surrounding your teeth, including the gums, bone, and ligaments that hold your teeth in place.

Gum disease begins with a bacterial infection that causes inflammation. Without intervention, this inflammation can destroy the bone and tissue supporting your teeth, leading to irreversible damage and eventual tooth loss. Our treatments aim to eliminate this infection, reduce inflammation, and regenerate lost tissue where possible.

Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?

You may benefit from periodontal treatment if you exhibit any of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Bleeding Gums: Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing.
• Red, Swollen, or Tender Gums: Inflamed gum tissue.
• Persistent Bad Breath (Halitosis): Caused by bacteria in the mouth.
• Receding Gums: Gums pulling away from the teeth, making teeth appear longer.
• Deep Pockets: Spaces between the teeth and gums where bacteria accumulate.
• Loose or Shifting Teeth: A sign of significant bone loss.
• Changes in Bite: How your teeth fit together when you chew.
• Pus Between Teeth and Gums: A clear sign of infection.
• Diagnosis of Gingivitis or Periodontitis: Confirmed by a dental professional.
• Risk Factors: Smoking, diabetes, genetics, certain medications, hormonal changes.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We offer a personalized treatment plan tailored to the severity of your gum disease and your individual needs. Our approach may include:

1. Initial Consultation & Diagnosis

• Thorough Examination: A comprehensive assessment of your gums, teeth, and bone structure.
• Digital X-rays: To evaluate bone loss and other underlying issues.
• Periodontal Charting: Measuring the depth of gum pockets to determine disease severity.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments

For mild to moderate gum disease (gingivitis and early periodontitis):

• Scaling and Root Planing (SRP): Often called a "deep cleaning," this procedure meticulously removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, and smooths the root surfaces to prevent future bacterial adhesion.
• Local Antibiotics: Placement of antibiotic medication directly into gum pockets to kill remaining bacteria.
• Oral Medications: Prescribed antibiotics or antimicrobial rinses to combat infection.

3. Surgical Treatments (When Necessary)

For advanced periodontitis where non-surgical methods are insufficient:

• Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery): Gums are lifted back to remove tartar, smooth damaged bone, and then re-secured to reduce pocket depth.
• Bone Grafting: Uses fragments of your own bone, synthetic bone, or donated bone to rebuild bone destroyed by periodontitis.
• Soft Tissue Grafts: Uses tissue from another area of your mouth (or a donor source) to cover exposed roots and reduce further gum recession.
• Guided Tissue Regeneration: A procedure that uses a mesh-like barrier to stimulate the growth of new bone and gum tissue.

4. Ongoing Maintenance Program

• Regular Periodontal Cleanings: More frequent and specialized cleanings (often every 3-4 months) to prevent recurrence of disease.
• Oral Hygiene Instruction: Guidance on proper brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning techniques.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Advice on quitting smoking, managing diabetes, and other risk factors.
