Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a prevalent oral health issue that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontists specialize in treating and managing gum disease through procedures such as scaling and root planing, which involve deep cleaning of the gums and roots of the teeth.
Gum Graft Surgery
In cases where gum recession has occurred due to advanced gum disease or other factors, gum graft surgery may be necessary. This procedure involves taking tissue from another part of the mouth and attaching it to the receded gums to restore their appearance and function.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular choice for replacing missing teeth as they provide a stable and long-lasting solution. Periodontists are trained in placing dental implants and ensuring that they integrate with the surrounding bone and tissue for optimal results.
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
For patients with aesthetic concerns regarding their gums, cosmetic periodontal surgery can help to improve the appearance of the smile. This may involve reshaping the gum line or reducing excess gum tissue to create a more balanced and harmonious smile.
Periodontal Maintenance
Regular periodontal maintenance is crucial for patients who have a history of gum disease or have undergone periodontal treatment. This involves professional cleanings and check-ups to monitor the health of the gums and prevent future issues.
Dental Crown Lengthening
In some cases, a tooth may be covered by excess gum tissue, making it difficult to place a dental crown. Periodontists can perform a procedure called crown lengthening, which involves removing excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth for proper restoration.
