An evaluation of your periodontal tissues by a specialist can lead to important information about your gum health. With an analysis performed, we can see if an infection is present, and determine how serious it might have already become. If you are affected by gingivitis, treatment can protect these tissues so that your infection does not worsen and become more difficult to resolve. For those who are already showing symptoms of periodontal disease, we can review procedures that protect you against tissue damage and deterioration.
Through preventive services, we can halt the spread of periodontal bacteria and protect vulnerable tissues. Gingivitis forms when bacteria that accumulate at your gum line manage to move below your tissues. During a scaling and root planing, we can remove the harmful buildup of microbes so that your gums can return to good health. For those who are already affected by periodontal disease, supportive periodontal maintenance can stop complications from occurring.
Unfortunately, some patients will not see a periodontal specialist until their infection has already led to serious consequences. One consequence of periodontal disease is tooth loss, which occurs because of attachment loss resulting from the destruction of gum tissues. We can discuss the placement of dental implants to give you back your full smile! We are also able to provide services like PRP therapy, ozone therapy, and even periodontal treatment with lasers to take on serious infections so that you are less likely to lose more teeth.
