Periodontal Services
Our office will provide Periodontal services such as Full Mouth Debridement: full mouth debridement is a nonsurgical procedure done by a dentist or dental specialist like a periodontist. An FMD helps remove extensive plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums. After this FMD appointment, we will have you come back to assess the bone and gum tissue to evaluate if you will need further periodontal treatment such as Scaling and Root Planing.
Tissue Grafting
Tissue Grafting treatment for receding gums works best for patients who are suffering from more extensive gum loss where gum disease cannot be resolved by a professional cleaning alone. This procedure can help repair the damaged area of the gums and work to prevent further gum tissue loss. In addition to stopping recession, tissue graft treatment will better protect the roots of the teeth from decay by giving the patient more gum line, and reduce tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods.
During a gum graft procedure, the patient doesn’t feel a thing as we use a local anesthetic to keep them pain-free. After the operation, the patient may experience some soreness and slight discomfort, which can be effectively treated with a combination of rest, cold compresses, and, if needed, prescription medication. With proper care, the gum graft will protect the previously exposed root and serve as a healthier gum line, restoring your smile and confidence.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and Root planing: If you develop a severe gum disease called periodontist, you may need tooth scaling and root planing to remove tartar and treat inflamed gums. The deep-cleaning procedures chip off tartar that hardens to the surfaces of your teeth and roots. The treatments help protect your smile and prevent the loss of teeth, gums and bone. We may also have to refer you to a Periodontist for evaluation.
