Periodontal, or gum, diseases are one of the most common infections in American adults. More than 75% of adults over the age of 35 have some form of periodontal disease.
We offer a full range of periodontal care including treatment of periodontal disease and prescription procedures such as crown extension, bone grafting, soft tissue augmentation and aesthetic smile enhancement.
If you are referred to our office, your dentist has determined that a gum specialist or periodontist can best treat your periodontal situation. A periodontist is a dental specialist who has completed a three-year residency after dental school. A periodontist specializes in the treatment of periodontal disease and dental implant surgery.
Periodontal disease is first diagnosed by a thorough clinical and x-ray examination. Once your periodontal status has been evaluated we will work with you and your dentist to determine the best treatment options to arrest the disease and re-establish good oral health.
