Periodontics
KEEPING YOUR GUMS AND THE BONES THAT SUPPORT YOUR HEALTHY TEETH
Periodontics is a type of dentistry that focuses on preventing and treating gum problems. This includes treating gum disease, performing gum surgeries, and taking care of dental implants.
At The Smile Avenue Dental Care, our expert periodontists have special training to handle complex gum issues. Whether you need treatment for gum disease, surgery, or a cosmetic gum procedure, we are here to help.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is common and can cause tooth loss if not treated. When caught early, mild gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with good brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings. More serious gum disease (periodontitis) needs professional care.
For periodontitis treatment may include:
Advanced Treatments: Sometimes, medicine or surgery is needed to restore gum health’s extraction.
Deep Cleaning ( Scaling and Root Planning ): This removes plaque and tartar from below the gums to prevent further damage.
Regular Check-Ups: Since periodontitis is a long-term condition, routine dental visits help keep it under control.
Gum Surgery
In some cases, gum disease requires surgery. Our expert periodontists offer treatments such as:
- Gum Grafting: If your gums have receded, this replaces lost tissue and protects your teeth.
- Infected Tissue Removal: If your gums are infected, removing damaged tissue helps healing.
Cosmetic Gum Treatments
Do you feel like you show too much gum when you smile? A “gummy smile” can make teeth look shorter. Our periodontists can help with:
- Gum Contouring: This reshapes and removes extra gum tissue to reveal more of your teeth, giving you a confident smile.
