As you look into the troubles associated with periodontal disease, you can discover that it it often the cause of adult tooth loss. In fact, this condition leads all other cause when it comes to this problem! Tooth loss occurs when bacteria destroy the tissues that hold teeth in place. The more damage done to the soft tissues and bone holding your teeth, the looser they become – eventually, they can be lost or require extraction.
There are several procedures that we offer to help patients control their risks when they have gum disease. After performing a diagnostic review of your gums, we can determine how serious your infection is in order to make recommendations for treatment. When the problem is caught in time, we can move forward with preventive periodontal care to help you preserve healthy tissues. For more advanced problems, we can recommend the use of laser periodontal services to fight bacteria, remove infected tissues, and encourage the growth of healthy tissues to replace what was lost.
If you are already missing teeth because of periodontal disease, we can discuss prosthetic dental work as part of your recovery. Our practice can provide you with dental implants that will permanently hold a prosthetic restoration. When dental implants are used to help restore a person’s full smile, they can provide long-term stability for prosthetic appliances that make biting and chewing easier, so you can enjoy more than just cosmetic benefits from treatment!
