How Can a Periodontist Improve My Oral Health?

Periodontist
If you are looking for ways to improve your oral health, seeing someone with experience in periodontist work will be a great start. Dentists can provide many beneficial services to encourage good oral health, but not all dentists can offer you the extensive knowledge that someone with periodontal specialties can. As one, we can provide exceptional care for all your teeth and gums. If you are looking for preventative or restorative care, we can offer you both.

How can a periodontist help me?

One of the areas we specialize in is gum health.  Gum recession plagues many people. If this includes you, we can help to restore your gums to perfect health. Receding gums can cause discomfort and future problems of decay and oral health damage. We can offer you care that will eliminate this problem and help you to conquer the damage that it has left behind. Some of the procedures we offer include gum grafts and guided tissue regeneration to encourage the regrowth of your gums.  This will improve your appearance and your health.
If you have noticed swelling or bleeding in your gums, give us a call. These signs may mean that you have a gum infection or periodontal disease. These problems can be detrimental to your health and lead to gum recession. As a periodontist, we know how to find the reason behind this problem and how to provide treatments to calm inflamed gums and to heal your areas of injury.  Often, your gums will become inflamed due to a buildup of plaque and bacteria.  This can be addressed by performing a deep cleaning to remove the irritant. Afterwards, your gums are likely to return to good health. 

Give us a call if...

If you have noticed loose teeth, we should take a look at your teeth immediately. Loose teeth can mean you have periodontal disease and that you should be treated. As a periodontist, we can provide root planing to remove current bacterial infections in order to stop further decay and damage. By treating your loose teeth now, you can avoid further damage and permanent tooth loss. 
Examples of the procedures we perform.

As a dentist with experience in periodontics, we can offer you both non-surgical and surgical options for treatment. We know what works and what will provide lasting results for both gum disease and replacing lost teeth. Whether you have lost teeth to periodontal disease or another injury, we can perform implant surgery to replace them. Our implants are durable and long lasting. They are also incredibly natural looking. If you have suffered from gum recession, we can give you a successful gum graft to improve the appearance and feel of your gums. Whether you have cosmetic or non-cosmetic problems you want to be changed, we can give you the best care available.

Due to the wide variety of procedures that we perform, if you have any oral health issues, we recommend that you call and schedule a dental exam.
