PERIODONTAL TREATMENT
The primary goal in periodontal therapy, and dentistry in general, is to provide the patient with a healthy, disease free, functioning and esthetic dentition.
The types of periodontal treatments can range from removing and correcting disease from around the teeth to corrective, ‘plastic surgery’ type procedures to create a more esthetic and pleasing smile.
Many times dental treatment requires the coordinated efforts of the Periodontist and the General Dentist. Sometimes an Endodontist (root canal), Orthodontist (tooth straightening), and/or Oral Surgeon is brought in to provide you with the most comprehensive and thorough treatment.

OUR PERIODONTAL PROCEDURES
Allows us to do many periodontal procedures without pulling the gums away from the teeth while reducing post-operative bleeding and pain.
Used to see the root surface and bone support and to gain access to remove irritants and see if additional therapy would improve periodontium health.
Dental implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement and can also be used to help give a partial denture or full denture better support.
The removing of the irritants, including plaque and calculus/tartar, in the area under the gums known as the periodontal pocket.
The transfer of gum tissue from one area of the mouth to another to build up the soft tissue in an area where soft tissue is lacking.
The repositioning of the supporting structures of the tooth/teeth to expose a problem below the gum line and/or to make a longer appearing tooth/teeth.
