Periodontal Dentistry

Periodontists diagnose and treat various stages of gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Treatment may involve non-surgical techniques like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) or surgical interventions if necessary.

Our Periodontists can perform gum grafting procedures to treat receding gums. Gum grafts involve taking tissue from another part of the mouth or using synthetic materials to cover exposed tooth roots and restore gum tissue.

In cases of advanced gum disease, periodontists may recommend pocket reduction surgery. This procedure involves accessing the gum tissue, removing bacteria and infected tissue, and repositioning the gums to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets.

Periodontists can perform crown lengthening procedures to expose more of the tooth structure. This may be necessary for cosmetic reasons or to facilitate restorative treatments like dental crowns.

Periodontists can provide comprehensive soft tissue management to address issues related to the gums and oral mucosa. This may involve treating oral ulcers, removing excess gum tissue, or addressing other soft tissue abnormalities.
