Protecting Your Gums, Supporting Your Smile
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Periodontics addresses issues affecting the gums and the bone structure that supports the teeth, ensuring a healthy foundation for dental longevity.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a reliable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth. They integrate with the jawbone to provide support for dental prosthetics.
Gum Sculpting
Gum sculpting, also known as gum contouring, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line to reveal a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile. This technique can correct an uneven gum line and expose more of your teeth.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are performed to remove teeth that are significantly damaged, decayed, or causing crowding. This procedure can alleviate pain, prevent oral health issues, and prepare the mouth for treatments like braces or implants.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a key procedure used to enhance the jawbone's volume and density, essential for successful dental implant placement. This technique supports the long-term stability of implants by providing a solid foundation.
Perio® Trays
Perio trays are customized dental devices designed to deliver medication directly to the areas affected by periodontal disease. This targeted treatment helps manage gum infections and inflammation.
