PeriodonticTreatments
Periodontics is dedicated to the treatment of diseases that affect supporting tissues of the teeth. It involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement and maintenance of dental implants.
Rooting and Scaling
Scaling and root planing are effective treatments for periodontal disease and improves the overall health of the gums and teeth.
Rooting and scaling consists of a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and roots. These are typically performed to treat periodontal (gum) disease, an infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth that is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar.
Tooth scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line using special instruments, such as ultrasonic scalers and hand scalers. Root planing involves the smoothing of the root surfaces to remove any remaining bacteria and toxins and to help the gums reattach to the teeth.
Periodontal Resective Surgery
After the first line of intervention that is the Rooting and Scaling to treat periodontal disease, a surgical approach may be required. A graft is lifted to remove bacteria beneath the gums and reshape bone that supports the teeth and afterwards that graft repositioned in the right place to avoid pocket formation and prevent future gum damage. This also makes it easier to clean your teeth .
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft tissue grafting is an effective way to repair or replace damaged or missing gum tissue. It improves the appearance of the gums and the overall health of the teeth and gums.
This is a surgical procedure that is used to repair or replace damaged or missing gum tissue. Typically it is used to treat gum recession, the exposure of the roots of the teeth due to the loss of gum tissue.
There are several types of soft tissue grafts that may be used, including connective tissue graft, free gingival graft and pedicle graft.
Gummy Smile Surgery
Gummy Smile Surgery, also known as gingivectomy or crown lengthening, is a procedure that is performed to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile by reshaping the gums and exposing more of the teeth.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may involve the removal of excess gum tissue and bone to expose more of the teeth.
Gummy smile surgery can be an effective way to improve the appearance of a gummy smile and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Dental Implant Rehabilitation
Dental implant rehabilitation is the process of replacing missing teeth with dental implants and restoring the function and appearance of the smile. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are made of titanium and are surgically placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth.
