Understanding

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. If untreated, it can progress from gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) to periodontitis, where the gums and bone become damaged, potentially leading to tooth loss. Regular dental check-ups and early intervention are key to managing periodontal disease effectively.

Types of Periodontal Treatment

There are three types of Periodontal Treatment, including:

All-On-4 Implants

A variation of full-arch implants, all-on-4 implants use four implants to support a full arch of teeth.

Understanding

Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

  • Prevents Tooth Loss: By treating gum disease early, periodontal treatment helps prevent the progression of the disease and reduces the risk of tooth loss.
  • Reduces Inflammation and Infection: Treatment helps control and eliminate infection, leading to healthier gums and reduced oral discomfort.
  • Improves Overall Health: Gum disease has been linked to systemic health conditions, so treating it can also support your overall health.

Periodontal Treatment Process

  • Diagnosis and Assessment: We start with a thorough examination to assess the extent of gum disease and identify the best treatment approach.
  • Scaling and Root Planing: For many patients, the first line of treatment is a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria and plaque from below the gum line.
  • Additional Treatments: Depending on the severity, further treatments such as antibiotics or surgery may be recommended to fully restore gum health.
