Crafting Healthier Smiles
Periodontics, a specialized branch of dentistry, focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as the placement and maintenance of dental implants. This discipline addresses issues related to the gums, bones, and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal treatment is essential for managing gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis, preventing tooth loss, and promoting overall oral health. Common procedures include scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery, and regenerative treatments to restore damaged tissue.

Benefits of Periodontics
Periodontics provides targeted treatments to manage and prevent gum diseases, significantly improving overall gum health and reducing the risk of tooth loss.
By addressing periodontal issues early, periodontics helps preserve the natural teeth, preventing the need for more extensive dental procedures in the future.
Periodontal treatments, such as scaling and root planing, remove plaque and tartar buildup, making it easier to maintain optimal oral hygiene.
Periodontal procedures can enhance the appearance of the gums and teeth, contributing to a healthier and more attractive smile.
Advanced periodontal treatments can promote the regeneration of bone and tissue, restoring the structural integrity of the jaw and supporting teeth.
Periodontics plays a crucial role in the successful placement and maintenance of dental implants, ensuring long-term stability and functionality.
How Periodontics Work
Similar to any specialized treatment, the initial stage of periodontal care begins with a consultation with Dr. Gilbert, our certified periodontist. During this consultation, he will conduct a thorough oral examination to assess the health of your gums and supporting structures. Dr. Gilbert may use diagnostic tools such as X-rays and periodontal probing to evaluate the extent of any gum disease or bone loss. Based on these findings, he will devise a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your specific periodontal concerns and improve your overall oral health.
Periodontics addresses a range of issues related to gum and bone health. Common problems treated include gingivitis and periodontitis, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Periodontal treatments such as scaling and root planing are used to remove plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gumline, helping to halt the progression of gum disease. For more advanced cases, periodontal surgery may be necessary to restore the health of the gums and bone. Procedures like bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration can help rebuild lost bone and supporting structures. Additionally, periodontics plays a crucial role in the placement and maintenance of dental implants, ensuring that they integrate properly with the jawbone and remain stable over time.
Following any periodontal procedure, it is essential to follow Dr. Gilbert's post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-term success. This may include maintaining a strict oral hygiene routine, attending regular follow-up appointments, and adhering to any dietary or activity restrictions recommended. With comprehensive periodontal care, we aim to restore and maintain the health and functionality of your gums and teeth.
