Periodontics at Dental Planet focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and related conditions. Our specialized periodontal services aim to restore and maintain the health of your gums, supporting the overall well-being of your smile.
Scaling and root planing are deep cleaning procedures used to treat periodontal disease. During scaling, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from below the gumline, while root planing smooths the root surfaces to promote healing and prevent bacterial reattachment. This treatment helps reduce gum inflammation and restore gum health.
Periodontal maintenance involves regular cleanings and exams to monitor and manage gum health after initial periodontal therapy. These visits typically include thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, along with assessments to ensure gums remain healthy and free from disease recurrence.
Soft tissue grafts are procedures performed to cover exposed roots and repair receding gums caused by gum recession. This treatment not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also protects tooth roots from sensitivity and decay while preventing further gum tissue loss.
Pocket reduction surgery, also known as flap surgery, is a surgical procedure to reduce the depth of gum pockets that have formed around teeth due to advanced periodontal disease. By accessing the roots of the teeth, cleaning the root surfaces, and repositioning gum tissue, pocket reduction surgery aims to eliminate bacteria and promote gum tissue regeneration.
