Periodontics dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Our experienced periodontists are experts in managing a wide range of periodontal issues, ensuring that our patients receive the highest standard of care.

Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious complications. Periodontists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating gum disease, helping patients maintain healthy gums and teeth for a lifetime.

Common periodontal conditions include gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing, and periodontitis, a more advanced stage of gum disease that can cause irreversible damage to the gums and bone supporting the teeth.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

1. Improved Oral Health: Deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a highly effective treatment for gum disease. During this procedure, our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth and root surfaces below the gumline, eliminating harmful bacteria and promoting gum healing.
2. Enhanced Overall Health: Perio dental care is not only essential for maintaining oral health but can also have a positive impact on overall well-being. Research has shown that untreated gum disease is associated with an increased risk of systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. By addressing gum disease promptly, patients can lower their risk of developing these serious health conditions.
3. Aesthetics and Confidence: In addition to improving oral and overall health, gum disease treatment can also enhance the aesthetics of the smile and boost self-confidence. As gum disease progresses, it can cause gums to recede, exposing the roots of the teeth and leading to a “gummy” smile. Gum grafting procedures can restore lost gum tissue, creating a more harmonious and attractive smile.
