Periodontal Treatment & Surgery
At American Dental Center, our Periodontal Department is committed to preserving your natural teeth and promoting optimal gum health through advanced periodontal care. We offer personalized treatment plans that address both early-stage and advanced periodontal disease, utilizing the latest techniques, including scaling and root planing, as well as gingival flap surgery when necessary.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection affecting the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and is associated with systemic issues such as heart disease and diabetes. To ensure optimal gum health, early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, including procedures like scaling and root planing or gingival flap surgery, are essential for maintaining both oral and overall health.
Our Periodontal Services Include:
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Scaling and root planing, often referred to as deep cleaning, is a meticulous procedure aimed at enhancing gum health by removing plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line. This treatment not only smooths the tooth root surfaces but also helps eliminate bacterial toxins that contribute to periodontal disease. By doing so, it promotes healing of the gum tissue and can be part of personalized treatment plans, especially for patients considering gingival flap surgery.
Surgical Periodontal Procedures
Gingival flap surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is a surgical approach designed to access deep periodontal pockets. This procedure allows for the thorough cleaning of infected areas, ultimately improving gum health. By reattaching gum tissue, gingival flap surgery provides better support and maintenance for patients suffering from periodontal disease. Additionally, personalized treatment plans may include scaling and root planing to enhance overall oral health.
Bone Grafting & Guided Tissue Regeneration: For patients experiencing bone loss due to periodontal disease, bone grafting procedures can help regenerate lost tissue and preserve natural teeth. Additionally, treatments like gingival flap surgery may be part of personalized treatment plans to enhance gum health. Regular procedures such as scaling and root planing are also essential to maintain overall oral health.
Crown Lengthening: This procedure is performed to expose more of the tooth structure, which can enhance aesthetic appeal or assist in restorative procedures. It plays a significant role in maintaining gum health, particularly for patients dealing with periodontal disease. Often included in personalized treatment plans, crown lengthening may also be considered alongside techniques like gingival flap surgery and scaling and root planing to ensure optimal oral health.
Periodontal Plastic Surgery encompasses various procedures, including gum grafting for treating gum recession, enhancing smile aesthetics, and safeguarding exposed roots. This may also involve gingival flap surgery to improve gum health and address issues related to periodontal disease. We focus on creating personalized treatment plans that may include scaling and root planing to ensure optimal outcomes.
