Regular periodontal care helps prevent the onset of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health complications.
Treatments such as scaling and root planing can remove tartar and bacteria, reducing gum inflammation and bleeding.
Addressing gum disease can improve the appearance of your smile by reducing gum recession and tooth decay.
Periodontal disease has been linked to other health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Effective periodontal care reduces these risks.
One of the most effective treatments for early stages of gum disease is scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning process removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the roots of the teeth, helping the gums reattach to the teeth and heal.
For patients experiencing gum recession, a soft tissue graft can protect exposed roots from decay and reduce further gum recession. This procedure involves transplanting healthy gum tissue to areas where the gums have receded.
Socket preservation is performed post-tooth extraction to prepare for a dental implant and prevent the natural shrinkage of the jawbone. This technique involves placing a bone graft into the socket, where the tooth was removed to maintain bone density.
