Information About Periodontal Services

Affecting the gum and bone tissues, periodontal disease is caused by bacteria and leads to symptoms like gum inflammation, bleeding, and loose teeth.

Periodontal (gum) disease may be resolved with a number of procedures, including scaling and root planing, surgical, or nonsurgical treatments.

Scaling and root planing (SRP) is a nonsurgical procedure that treats periodontal (gum) disease that has progressed beyond the point of gingivitis.

Gum recession occurs when the gums pull away from the teeth, revealing the tooth root surfaces. Gum grafting can repair the gums to a healthier level.

Also known as crown lengthening, gum contouring is a procedure that lifts the gum tissues to create a more attractive smile and improved oral health.
