Periodontists are dental specialists who focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, along with the placement of dental implants. Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria that collect at and below the gum line, where they inflame the gums and, over time, break down the bone that supports the teeth. Because early periodontal disease often develops with little discomfort, many patients first learn they have it when a general dentist notices the signs and recommends care from a specialist.
Periodontics and Dental Implants
Our comprehensive dental care approach includes advanced periodontal treatments with specialized training designed to combat periodontal disease, restore oral health, and maintain your smile’s integrity. Treating periodontal disease draws on the knowledge, skills, and tools of a practice that focuses on this field every day — from scaling and root planing to surgical care for severe periodontal disease.
Scaling and Root planing – This is a comprehensive deep cleaning procedure that targets the removal of plaque and tartar accumulation from below the gum line. Scaling clears bacteria and hardened deposits from the tooth surface, while root planing smooths the root so gum tissue can reattach and periodontal pockets can become shallower.
Our Periodontal Maintenance Program complements daily home care, targeting plaque and calculus buildup to prevent periodontal disease progression.
For those experiencing more severe gum disease conditions, we provide specialized treatments such as gum and bone grafting, bone regeneration, and ridge preservation techniques to address tooth loss, gum recession and bone loss, and ensure the structural support of dental implants or prostheses. Rebuilding bone and gum tissue is often the first step toward replacing teeth with dental implants.
Additionally, procedures like crown lengthening, periodontal splinting, dental implants, LANAP laser therapy, and pinhole surgery are available to manage and treat advanced gum disease issues, ensuring a comprehensive approach to oral health and well-being.
