Healthy gums are the key to a healthy and long-lasting smile. Periodontology is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and related conditions of the supporting structures of the teeth. At Connect Family Dental, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to ensure your oral health and overall well-being.
Gum disease can develop over time with little or no signs or symptoms in the early stages. Without regular dental visits, it can progress from mild to severe gingivitis or periodontitis, leading to future bone and tooth loss. Research has also linked periodontal disease to systemic health concerns such as heart disease and diabetes, making early detection and treatment essential.
We can provide effective treatment options for both gingivitis and periodontitis, including deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). These treatments will remove plaque and tartar below the gumline, reduce any swelling, and help your gums heal.
For patients experiencing gum recession, soft tissue grafting helps restore lost gum tissue, protect tooth roots, and improve both comfort and appearance.
Continuing with periodontal maintenance care is of the utmost importance to prevent gum disease from returning. By creating a personalized maintenance plan for you, we will help maintain healthy gums and a beautiful smile now and in the future.
