PERIODONTICS

Oral health is not only about maintaining healthy teeth – it also involves maintaining proper health of the tissues surrounding the teeth. These tissues are crucial for keeping your teeth securely in place. Periodontal disease affects all the tissues around the tooth, making it challenging for the tooth to remain in your mouth. This disease begins gradually with inflammation at the gum level, eventually weakening the bone that supports your tooth. Over time, you may notice increased tooth mobility and face serious problems. However, periodontal disease can be controlled if detected early and treated by a specialist.

Some of the problems that periodontists encounter on a day-to-day basis concerning the gums include:

 

DEEP CLEANING

Bacterial plaque begins to form as soon as we neglect to remove it. The best way to remove plaque is through consistent brushing and daily flossing. However, there are areas of the mouth that are almost inaccessible on your own. For this reason, our office has the right professionals to ensure you can achieve and maintain adequate gum health.

Benefits of Deep Cleaning:

  • Prevents periodontal problems
  • Improves the condition of your gums
  • Maintains the health of any existing dental work
  • Boosts confidence when smiling

GUM / PERIODONTAL DISEASE

One of the best ways to detect a gum problem is to incorporate it into your daily tooth brushing routine. If you notice bleeding gums while brushing or flossing, it’s a clear indication that something may be amiss. Healthy gums should not bleed during oral hygiene practices. Bleeding gums serve as a clear signal that you should schedule a visit with your periodontist promptly.

Benefits of Gum Care:

  • Preserves the longevity of your teeth
  • Maintains gum health
  • Supports the longevity of dental work
  • Prevents bad breath

RECEDING GUMS

Gum Recession Treatment

Sometimes, gums tend to shrink, exposing parts of the tooth roots. This exposure leads to sensitivity and significantly increases the risk of decay. Periodontists can restore the gum to its proper levels, preventing the problem from persisting. In these procedures, gum tissue is typically harvested from the palate area. This treatment is highly effective for gingival recessions.

Benefits of Addressing Gum Recession:

  • Enhances the aesthetics of your teeth
  • Reduces sensitivity
  • Prevents cavities from forming at the tooth’s root

SMILE ENHANCEMENT

Gum Reshaping/Gummy Smile Treatment

Smiling is one of the most beautiful human expressions, reflecting many of our feelings and moods. A good smile can open up numerous opportunities. However, sometimes excessive gum tissue can overshadow the teeth, resulting in what is known as a gummy smile. Gummy Smile Treatment involves reducing the size of the gums, making them less prominent and allowing the teeth to reclaim their role as the focal point of your smile.

Benefits of this Procedure:

  • Avoid showing excessive gum tissue when smiling
  • Enhance the aesthetics of your smile
  • Feel more confident in yourself

CROWN LENGTHENING

Smile enhancement

Crown lengthening is a procedure in which we expose a tooth that is partially covered by gum tissue. This procedure involves removing part of the bone and gum surrounding the affected tooth. The periodontist collaborates closely with the prosthetist to provide you with the most suitable treatment for your tooth.

Benefits of Crown Lengthening:

  • Improves the fit of your dental crowns
  • Enhances gum health for healing purposes
  • Facilitates better oral hygiene for your teeth
  • Enhances dental aesthetics
