Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy |
| |
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is one of the most successful, least invasive and cost efficient ways to treat gum disease. Periodontal therapy helps to focus on treating the cause of periodontal disease, mainly bacterial infections, and allows the tissues to repair themselves naturally. |
|
Charting and Diagnostic Services |
| |
Gum disease is far more common that most people realize — over 80 percent of the population experiences some level of gum disease. To help our patients who do have gum disease, we offer full charting and diagnostic services. Through periodic x-rays and thorough periodontal charting, we assess periodontal bone level, which aids us in diagnosing asymptomatic dental and gum disease. |
|
In-Office Therapy |
| |
We use scaling and root planing to remove bacteria from root surfaces and periodontal pockets (the space between the tooth and the gum), leaving the tissue fresh and healthy and avoiding the need for future surgery. |
