Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Yet, gum disease (periodontitis) remains one of the most common causes of tooth loss in adults. At the Center of Endodontics, Periodontics, and Implantology, our experts specialize in both non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatments to protect and restore your gum health.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s caused by plaque buildup that hardens into tartar, irritating the gums and causing inflammation.
Common Symptoms:
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose teeth
Periodontal Treatments We Offer
- Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Scaling and Root Planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque below the gumline.
- Antibiotic therapy to control infection.
- Surgical Treatments:
- Gum Grafting – Restores lost gum tissue and covers exposed roots.
- Regenerative Procedures – Such as the Pinhole Surgical Technique to repair gum recession without traditional incisions.
- L-PRF Therapy (Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin):
- Uses your body’s own healing factors to speed up recovery after gum surgery.
Prevention Is Key
Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings are the best ways to prevent gum disease. Early detection and treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need for more invasive procedures.
