Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure that serves as the initial treatment for gum disease, also known as periodontitis. This therapy involves a deep cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the root surfaces. By smoothing the roots of the teeth, scaling and root planing help eliminate infection and promote gum reattachment to the tooth structure.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery, also known as flap surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to treat advanced periodontal disease. This therapy involves accessing the affected area by lifting the gum tissue, allowing our skilled dentist to remove diseased tissue, eliminate bacteria, and reshape the bone if necessary. Osseous surgery helps reduce pocket depth and promotes gum tissue regeneration, ultimately improving overall oral health.

Gum Grafting

Gum grafting is a procedure used to restore gum tissue lost due to periodontal disease or recession. During this therapy, our dentist takes a small piece of tissue from another area of your mouth or uses donor tissue to cover exposed tooth roots or fill in receding gum areas. Gum grafting not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also protects tooth roots from further decay and sensitivity.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a periodontal therapy used to expose more tooth structure for restorative purposes. This procedure is often performed when a tooth is severely decayed, fractured, or when there is inadequate tooth structure available for a dental crown or filling. By reshaping the gum and bone tissue, crown lengthening creates a stable foundation for dental restorations, ensuring optimal aesthetics and functional results.
