Restore Your Gum Health & Secure Your Smile

Expert Care for the Foundation of Your Oral Health

Are you experiencing bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth? Don't let gum disease threaten your oral health and overall well-being. A Periodontist is a specialized dental professional dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement and maintenance of dental implants. We are the experts in the supporting structures of your teeth – your gums and jawbone.

What We Offer: Specialized Treatments & Lasting Solutions

Our commitment is to provide advanced, compassionate care using the latest techniques and technologies to save your natural teeth, restore your gum health, and provide stable foundations for a lifetime of smiles.

• Comprehensive Periodontal Evaluation:
  • A thorough examination of your gums, teeth, and bone structure to accurately diagnose the type and severity of any periodontal condition.
  • Includes assessment for gum recession, bone loss, and inflammation.
• Non-Surgical Gum Therapy (Scaling & Root Planing):
  • Often the first line of defense against gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, and smooths the root surfaces to encourage gum reattachment.
  • Helps to eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and prevent disease progression.
• Surgical Periodontal Procedures:
  • For advanced stages of gum disease or specific needs, we offer:
    • Pocket Reduction Surgery: To reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and facilitate easier cleaning.
    • Bone Grafting: Regenerative procedures to restore bone lost due to gum disease, preparing the area for implants or stabilizing existing teeth.
    • Guided Tissue Regeneration: Utilizing membranes to encourage the natural growth of bone and gum tissue.
    • Laser Periodontal Therapy: Minimally invasive techniques for precise treatment and faster healing.
• Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures:
  • Gum Grafting: To cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve the aesthetics of your smile.
  • Crown Lengthening: Reshaping gum and bone to expose more tooth structure, often for restorative purposes (e.g., preparing a tooth for a crown) or to correct a "gummy" smile.
• Dental Implant Placement & Restoration:
  • The gold standard for replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a strong, durable, and natural-looking solution.
  • We specialize in precise surgical placement of dental implants, including complex cases requiring bone augmentation or sinus lifts.
  • Collaborate with your general dentist for the final prosthetic restoration.
• Periodontal Maintenance & Prevention:
  • Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for preventing recurrence of gum disease and ensuring the long-term success of your treatments and implants.
  • Personalized home care instructions and ongoing monitoring.

Do You Need a Periodontist? Look for These Signs:

Early detection and treatment are vital. If you experience any of the following, a consultation with a periodontist is highly recommended:

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
• Red, swollen, or tender gums.
• Persistent bad breath (halitosis).
• Receding gums, making teeth appear longer.
• Loose or shifting teeth.
• Pus between your teeth and gums.
• Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.
• Known risk factors like smoking, diabetes, heart disease, or a family history of gum disease.
• If you are considering dental implants for missing teeth.

Why Choose a Periodontist for Your Care?

When it comes to the health of your gums and the bone supporting your teeth, specialization matters. A periodontist offers:

• Unmatched Expertise: Years of advanced training beyond dental school, focusing specifically on the intricacies of gum health, bone structure, and dental implants.
• Cutting-Edge Technology: Utilizing the latest diagnostic tools (e.g., 3D imaging) and treatment modalities (e.g., dental lasers, microsurgical instruments) for precise, effective, and often minimally invasive care.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Every patient is unique. We develop tailored strategies that address your specific condition, oral health goals, and overall well-being.
• Collaborative Care: We work closely with your general dentist and other dental specialists to ensure comprehensive and integrated care for your entire mouth.
• Commitment to Long-Term Health: Beyond treating symptoms, we focus on establishing and maintaining long-term oral health, helping you prevent future problems and preserve your natural smile.
