Understanding Periodontics
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the structures surrounding and supporting the teeth, primarily the gums and the jawbone. The primary focus is on treating and preventing periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, which can range from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to more severe conditions (periodontitis). If left untreated, these conditions can lead to tooth loss and other serious health complications.
Our Periodontic Services
Our periodontic services include a range of treatments tailored to each patient’s specific needs. We start with a comprehensive examination to assess your gum health and identify any signs of periodontal disease. Our treatments may involve deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, which remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline. We also offer advanced treatments for more severe cases, including surgical procedures to restore the health of your gums and supporting structures.
