With a range of periodontal disease treatments, we can help eliminate infection to give you healthier gums.
Reclaim Your Oral Health
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a bacterial infection that can damage the teeth-supporting soft tissues and bone. At South Rock Dental, our goal is to make getting the periodontal disease therapy you need manageable and stress-free. We’ll work with you to create an individualized treatment plan aimed at restoring your oral health.
Periodontal Disease Isn’t Limited to Just Your Gums
Early stage gum disease, called gingivitis, can be reversed. Once it progresses into periodontitis, however, the consequences are more severe and often include bone loss and, eventually, tooth loss if not treated and managed.
And because your mouth isn’t a standalone body part, the bacteria and inflammation from gum disease can impact the rest of your body. In fact, periodontal disease is tied to numerous health conditions, ranging from cardiovascular disease to rheumatoid arthritis.
Gum Disease Treatment Options for Every Smile
Professional dental cleaning and homecare – More frequent routine cleanings to remove plaque and tartar combined with a homecare routine to reverse gingivitis
Scaling and root planing – A dental deep cleaning that gets rid of plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the teeth roots to stop plaque from reattaching
Gum grafting – Healthy tissue is placed where gum tissue is thinning or receding to cover exposed teeth roots
Bone grafting – A procedure that helps the body grow new bone in the jaw where bone tissue has been lost
Dental implants – A small screw that’s placed in the jawbone to act as a tooth’s root and support a dental crown in cases of tooth loss
