So, one of the things that we look at is the oral systemically. And so, we actually will test you for bacteria and see what’s there, and that way we know who we’re fighting. After that, we will remove the bacteria and use products to, kind of, help reduce the amount of bacteria from coming back. And that’s why we always say periodontal disease doesn’t have a cure because there’s no way I can sterilize your mouth. And so, our biggest thing here is, let’s make that environment difficult for these bad bacteria to just stick around and they wanna leave. And so, we’re cleaning up the neighborhood, and that way everybody has a healthier smile, has fresher breath, and it’s just stable and it feels good.
Recover Your Gum Health With Our Periodontal Treatments
It can be upsetting to know your gums aren’t as healthy as they should be, given that advanced gum disease results in serious problems like tooth loss. What matters is, you are getting the help you need! We use proven but innovative procedures for your treatment process. One of the ways we eliminate infection is with a process called scaling and root planing. Here is how it works:
- Our scaling and root planing process eliminates the bacteria, tartar, and plaque above and below your gumline.
- We’ll then utilize antibacterial techniques that help your gums heal and reduce the chances for reoccurrence of infections.
- For more advanced cases, we can use growth factors such as PRF treatments that use your own body’s powerful abilities to heal itself. With this process, your own blood cells stimulate the immune response and tissue repair.
- We may also follow up this deep cleaning procedure with Perio Protect® which delivers a medication that fights the infection.
When you visit our practice, we do everything we can to help you avoid surgical procedures. If you do need surgery, though, you can trust the skills of a board-certified periodontist. He can perform a grafting procedure to rebuild your bone or gums, if needed. If you’re nervous about your appointment, we offer three kinds of sedation to ease your nerves. We also have amenities like pillows and blankets to comfort you.
