Periodontics focuses on maintaining the health of the tissues that support the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. These tissues are critical for the stability and function of the teeth.
Conditions treated by periodontists range from mild gum inflammation (gingivitis) to more severe forms of periodontal disease, such as periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if not managed effectively.
Proceedures Performed by Our Providers:
- Dental Cleanings: Also known as scaling and root planing, these procedures remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and roots.
- Gum Surgery: Used to remove infected tissue and repair damaged gum tissue to restore periodontal health and stability.
- Laser Gum Treatment: This advanced technique utilizes lasers to precisely remove and repair infected gum tissue, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
Periodontal care is essential for maintaining overall oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease, ensuring the longevity of your natural teeth and supporting structures.
