If you notice a change in your bite, swollen or bleeding gums, or receding gums, it could be a sign that you are experiencing the early stages of gum disease. Gum disease has severe consequences, including tooth loss, bone damage, and chronic pain. Left untreated, you can expect multiple tooth extractions, expensive operations, and, eventually, the need for dental implants.
The good news is, if caught early, gum disease treatable, and any damage that has occurred is reversible. If you are experiencing any of the conditions above, contact us today for a periodontalA exam.

Periodontics
Report
Periodontists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal (gum) disease. Gum disease is a result of several factors, including smoking and inadequate brushing and flossing habits. Periodontal disease, left untreated, can result in the deterioration of the gums and bones that support teeth and cause pain and tooth loss.

Laser Gum Surgery
Report
Laser Gum Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no cutting or stitches or general anesthetic. Using a laser rather than a scapple, periodontists remove infected gum tissue allowing them to access the root of the tooth for scaling and removal of harmful bacteria. The result is a shorter recovery time with less swelling and bleeding.
Osseous Surgery
Report
Teeth sit in the tissue that extends upwards from the gum. Healthy folds of this tissue are typically around 3mm deep. With the onset of gum disease, pockets can grow, making them harder to clean and turning them into the perfect breeding ground for even more bacteria in the form of plaque.
Periodontal pocket reduction surgery is recommended when a patient's pockets are too deep to clean with daily at-home oral hygiene and a professional care routine.During this procedure, a periodontist will fold back the gum tissue and remove the disease-causing bacteria before securing the tissue into place.
