Periodontal Treatments
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common but serious condition that affects the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even impact your overall health.
We offer advanced periodontal treatments to stop the progression of gum disease, restore gum tissue, and help you maintain long-term oral health.
Connective Tissue Grafting
Connective tissue grafting is a highly effective periodontal procedure used to treat gum recession—a condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root. This exposure can lead to increased sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and potential for tooth loss.
This microsurgical technique is performed under local anesthesia and is often well-tolerated with minimal discomfort and a predictable healing process. Connective tissue grafting is considered the gold standard for root coverage and is especially effective when performed early in the progression of gum recession.
LANAP® Laser Treatment
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a gentle, non-surgical alternative to traditional gum surgery. Using a specialized dental laser, we remove diseased tissue and bacteria while preserving healthy gum tissue. This advanced treatment promotes natural healing, stimulates bone regeneration, and often results in minimal discomfort and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
When gum disease causes deep pockets to form around your teeth, bacteria can collect and damage supporting structures. Pocket reduction surgery (also known as flap surgery) involves gently lifting the gums to remove bacteria and smooth damaged bone, then securing the tissue back in place. This procedure reduces pocket depth, making it easier to clean your teeth and prevent future infection.
