Deep Cleaning
If there is a loss of gingival attachment and bone around teeth, a "deep cleaning" or scaling and root planing may be necessary.The procedure begins with administration of a local anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. Then, a small instrument called a "currette,"along with an ultrasonic cleaner, is used to clean beneath your gum line to remove plaque and tartar. The root surfaces on the tooth are then planed and smoothed. This lets the gum tissue heal and reattach itself to the tooth. ​An antibiotic, known as Arestin, may be locally placed under the gums as an adjunct to the procedure to further kill bacteria beneath the gums and locally help the gingival tissue to re-adhere to the tooth.​Initial therapy is always re-evaluated at a later date to ensure that the attachment of the gums to the tooth increases.
Periodontal surgeries including Extractions & Implants
​
Periodontal surgeries are advanced procedures designed to address severe gum disease, restore damaged tissue, and improve the overall health of your gums and teeth. These surgeries may include procedures such as gum flap surgery, bone grafting, and soft tissue grafts to treat gum recession and bone loss. One of the most transformative aspects of periodontal care is the placement of dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics. Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a secure foundation for artificial teeth, and they offer a permanent solution to tooth loss while preserving the health of surrounding gums and bone. Whether you're dealing with advanced periodontal disease or missing teeth, periodontal surgery and implants can significantly enhance your oral health and quality of life.
