Information About Periodontal Dental Services
Gum disease can significantly impact your overall oral health. When periodontal disease is left untreated, it can lead to the loss of teeth, which affects your smile’s functionality and cosmetic appearance. To avoid this, we offer different levels of treatment to address bacteria pockets found within the gums. Patients can undergo scaling and root planing, bone grafting, gum contouring, and periodontal treatment. If you have bleeding gums or need to undergo a routine dental cleaning, please schedule a dental appointment in Farmingdale, NY.
Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease can cause bad breath, sore or loose teeth, pain while chewing, and bleeding gums. If this happens, seek periodontal treatment right away.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing fights the early stages of gum disease, gingivitis, by cleaning out the pockets of your gums and removing plaque.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting adds bone to your jaw where there are missing teeth, creating a stronger jaw that is stable enough to hold implants or dentures.
Gum Contouring
When your gums appear in your smile more than your teeth, gum contouring can remove excess soft tissue, reducing your chances of infection.
