What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in susceptible individuals. Bacteria found in plaque produce toxins or poisons, which irritate the gums. They may cause them to turn red, swell and bleed easily. Learn more about Periodontal Disease.

Crown Lengthening:

Crown lengthening (or crown exposure) is required when your tooth needs a new crown or other restoration. The edge of that restoration is deep below the gum tissue and not accessible. It is also usually too close to the bone or below the bone. Learn more about Crown Lengthening.

Regenerative Surgical Procedures:

Traditionally, eliminating the gum pockets by trimming away the infected gum tissue and by re-contouring the uneven bone tissue treats gum disease. Although this is still an effective way of treating gum disease, new procedures are used routinely today. Learn more about Regenerative Surgical Procedures.

Gum Grafting Procedure:

When recession of the gingiva occurs, the body loses a natural defense against both bacterial penetration and trauma. When gum recession is a problem, gum reconstruction using grafting techniques is an option. Learn more about the Gum Grafting Procedure.

Root Debridement:

This is the process of removing plaque and calculus from the contaminated root surface of the tooth. Learn more about Root Debridement.
