Medications & Treatment

Periodontists are the specialists responsible for the treatment of periodontal gum diseases. Different procedures can be undertaken to treat gum disease. Some of these are:

• Non-Surgical Treatments- includes scaling and root planing (a careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins), and can be followed by adjunctive therapy depending on the case.
• Periodontal Surgery- The most commonly prescribed types of surgical treatments are: Pocket Reduction Procedures, Regenerative Procedures, Crown Lengthening and Soft Tissue Grafts.

• Laser Therapy- the use of lasers during periodontal treatment will reduce bleeding, swelling and discomfort to the patient.
• Dental Implants- if you finally lost the tooth, then dental implants could be good option
• Cosmetic Procedures- this method not only brighten one’s smile but actually improve function as well. This includes:

1. Crown Lengthening
2. Soft Tissue Grafts
3. Ridge Augmentation
