Most often, Gum Disease Treatment is needed when you have periodontal pocketing and gum inflammation around teeth.  There are a variety of gum disease treatments available, such as scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and traditional osseous surgery with bone regeneration.

We can examine your teeth and gums to determine if periodontal treatment is right for you. Using a small probe, we are able to measure the small pockets around the teeth. If these pockets are very deep, we may recommend that you begin periodontal disease, or gum disease, treatment. With early treatment, you are able to put an end to gum disease and the tooth loss that often comes with it.

For periodontal disease treatment, we will typically examine the gums to determine the level of disease and the best course of treatment. For gingivitis, you can prevent progression of the condition with proper oral hygiene habits at home. This includes proper brushing, daily flossing and regular trips into the office for a professional dental cleaning. For patients who already have gum disease, there are many treatment options available up to and including surgery. Other periodontal procedures include implants and soft tissue grafting as a way to enhance and improve your smile.

If you would like to come into the office for periodontal treatment, call us today so that we can get you in as soon as possible.
