At American Dental Center, our Periodontal Department is dedicated to preserving your natural teeth and maintaining optimal gum health through advanced periodontal care. We provide comprehensive treatment plans that target both early-stage and advanced periodontal (gum) disease using the latest techniques in non-surgical and surgical therapy.
Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection of the gums and bone supporting the teeth. If untreated, it can cause tooth loss and is linked to systemic issues like heart disease and diabetes. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to maintaining oral and overall health.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning):
A meticulous cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth the tooth root surfaces. This helps eliminate bacterial toxins and promotes healing of the gum tissue.
Gingival Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery):
A surgical approach to access deep periodontal pockets, clean infected areas thoroughly, and reattach gum tissue for better support and maintenance.
Bone Grafting & Guided Tissue Regeneration:
For patients with bone loss due to gum disease, bone grafting procedures can help regenerate lost tissue and preserve natural teeth.

Performed to expose more of the tooth structure either for aesthetic improvement or to assist in restorative procedures.
