Periodontal Services
Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease as well as the process of replacing teeth with dental implants. Periodontists receive up to three years of additional, specialized training in treating periodontal disease and other conditions.
Periodontists are also specialists in treating oral inflammation and any condition requiring either non-surgical treatment or oral plastic surgery. Oftentimes, periodontists are treating conditions caused by periodontal disease and its effects such as persistent bad breath or gum recession.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling, also known as deep cleaning, involves using specialized equipment like ultrasonic cleaners to remove plaque and tartar deposits from the surface of your teeth and gums.Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to function like tooth roots. Post implantation, a dental crown is attached to its top to ensure the appearance of a natural tooth. Not only does it look and feel like a natural tooth, but it also functions like one, and you can entirely rely on it while eating and speaking.
Root planing involves the smoothening of rough spots caused by a scaling procedure. It prevents further buildup of bacteria and helps the gums reattach to the teeth.
