Our Periodontal Services
We offer a range of non-surgical treatments to address gum disease, including scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). These procedures remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, allowing your gums to heal. We also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques to prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
Laser gum therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. It uses a focused laser beam to remove diseased tissue and bacteria, promoting faster healing and reduced discomfort. Laser therapy is precise and effective in treating various stages of gum disease.
In some cases, antibiotics may be used to treat gum infections. We may prescribe oral or topical antibiotics to help control bacterial growth and promote healing.
Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to cover exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession. It involves taking tissue from another area of your mouth or using donor tissue to restore your gum line. Gum grafting can improve the appearance of your smile and protect your teeth from sensitivity and decay.
Periodontal disease can damage the bone that supports your teeth. Bone regeneration procedures stimulate the growth of new bone, restoring support to your teeth. Guided tissue regeneration uses membranes to guide the growth of new bone and gum tissue.
Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue. It can be used to treat gum disease or to improve the appearance of your smile.
