GINGIVITIS: Gingivitis is the initial stage of periodontal disease. It is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. At this stage, the damage is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care.
PERIODONTITIS: If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis. This stage involves the inflammation and infection of the gums, leading to the breakdown of the gum tissue and the supporting structures, including the bone that holds the teeth in place. As a result, the gums may recede, creating spaces or pockets between the gums and teeth.
ADVANCED PERIODONTITIS: In the advanced stage of periodontal disease, the gum pockets become deeper, allowing bacteria to invade further and cause even more damage. Teeth may become loose, and tooth loss may occur.
SCALING & ROOT PLANING: This deep cleaning procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots to promote gum reattachment.
PERIODONTAL MAINTENANCE: Regular periodontal maintenance visits are essential to monitor the health of your gums and prevent the progression of periodontal disease. These visits typically include professional cleanings, gum pocket measurements, and oral health assessments.
SURGICAL PROCEDURES: In advanced cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to remove tartar, reduce pocket depth, regenerate bone or gum tissue, or place dental implants for tooth replacement.
ONGOING HOME CARE: Proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and using antimicrobial mouth rinses as recommended, are crucial for managing and preventing periodontal disease.

BONE GRAFTING: Bone grafting involves adding bone or bone-like materials to areas with insufficient bone volume or density. This procedure helps restore bone mass and strength, providing a solid foundation for dental implants or dentures.
RIDGE AUGMENTATION: Ridge augmentation is performed to rebuild or reshape the alveolar ridge (the bony ridge that supports the teeth). It helps correct deformities, defects, or irregularities in the ridge, creating a more favorable environment for prosthetic placement.
SINUS LIFT: A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, is a procedure that involves adding bone to the upper jaw in the area of the molars and premolars. It is performed when there is insufficient bone height to support dental implants in the posterior upper jaw.
SOFT TISSUE GRAFTING: Soft tissue grafting, also known as gum grafting, is performed to restore or enhance the gum tissue around teeth or dental implants. It helps improve aesthetics, reduce tooth sensitivity, and provide adequate support for dental prosthetics
IMPROVED STABILITY: Pre-prosthetic surgery creates a stable foundation for dental prosthetics, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. This enhances the stability and functionality of dentures or dental implants.

EVALUATION & TREATMENT PLANNING: Our experienced dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your gums and assess the extent of gum recession. We will discuss your concerns and goals to determine the most appropriate grafting technique and identify the most suitable donor site for your specific needs.
DONOR TISSUE SELECTION: The donor tissue for gingival grafting can come from different sources, including the roof of your mouth (palate), adjacent gums, or processed donor tissue (allografts). Our dental team will discuss the options with you and select the most suitable donor tissue for your situation.
GRAFT PLACEMENT: During the procedure, the graft tissue is carefully positioned over the exposed root surfaces and secured in place with sutures or tissue adhesive. The graft acts as a protective barrier and encourages the growth of new gum tissue, restoring proper gum coverage and promoting healing.
HEALING & INTEGRATION: Over time, the graft tissue integrates with the existing gum tissue, providing a healthy and natural-looking gumline. As healing progresses, the grafted tissue becomes part of your own gum tissue, providing improved aesthetics, reducing tooth sensitivity, and protecting the underlying tooth structure.
RESTORED GUM HEALTH: Gingival grafting addresses gum recession, protecting the exposed tooth roots and reducing the risk of decay, sensitivity, and gum disease.
IMPROVED AESTHETICS: The procedure enhances the appearance of your smile by restoring a more even and symmetrical gumline. It can provide a natural and attractive frame for your teeth, boosting your overall smile aesthetics.
REDUCED TOOTH SENSITIVITY: Gingival grafting covers the exposed tooth roots, reducing sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures and making eating and drinking more comfortable.
PROTECTION AGAINST FURTHER RECESSION: By restoring and thickening the gum tissue, gingival grafting helps prevent future gum recession and maintains the health and stability of your gums.
PRESERVED TOOTH STRUCTURE: Gum recession can lead to the loss of tooth structure and compromise the stability of your teeth. Gingival grafting helps preserve the integrity of the teeth by protecting the roots and underlying structures.

The best way to reduce your risk of having gum disease is to visit your dentist on regular basis for check-ups and cleanings. Gum disease is an inflammatory condition that affects supporting soft tissue and bone around the teeth. Although many times there is only minimal or no symptoms, this disease is considered to be a serious health condition that if not treated can lead to tooth loss. It occurs as a result of your body’s immune response against toxins produced by bacteria that live on your teeth and gums.
Increasing research evidence over the last two decades has suggested positive associations between gum inflammation and several important systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, proper diagnosis and treatment of gum disease may not only benefit your oral health, but may also play a positive role in your overall systemic health.

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry we offer that focuses on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, including the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. Our Periodontists are specialized dentists who diagnose and treat problems affecting these structures, including gum disease and other conditions that affect your gums! Here is a general overview of how our periodontics works:
INITIAL CONSULTATION: The periodontist will examine the patient’s gums and supporting structures to determine the best course of treatment. This may include taking x-rays and dental impressions.
DIAGNOSIS: The periodontist will diagnose any problems affecting the gums and supporting structures and develop a treatment plan to address these issues.
TREATMENT: Depending on the specific needs of the patient, the periodontist may recommend a variety of treatments to address gum disease and other conditions, including scaling and root planing, gum grafts, and tooth extractions.
MAINTENANCE: After the initial treatment, the periodontist will recommend a maintenance plan to help the patient maintain good oral health and prevent future problems from occurring. This may include regular cleanings and check-ups.
IMPROVED ORAL HEALTH: Periodontal treatment can help prevent gum disease and other problems that can affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
REDUCED RISK OF TOOTH LOSS: Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss, and periodontal treatment can help prevent this from occurring.
IMPROVED APPEARANCE: Periodontal treatment can help improve the appearance of the gums and teeth, resulting in a more attractive smile.
IMPROVED OVERALL HEALTH: Good oral health is important for overall health and well-being. Periodontal treatment can help maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems from occurring.
REDUCED RISK OF OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS: Some studies have suggested that gum disease may be linked to other health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes. Periodontal treatment can help reduce the risk of these problems.
