We offer common nonsurgical methods to treat gum diseases such as scaling and root planing. This treatment uses a metal scaler to scrape and remove plaque and bacterial buildup from your tooth and gum surfaces and then polishes your exterior root walls. This process will prevent damaging germs from reattaching to your teeth or underneath your gum line and allow your gums to firmly adhere to your teeth roots.
Our team has received years of additional education and training after dental school to specialize in periodontics. Other common periodontal treatments include full-mouth debridement cleaning, regular maintenance, pocket irrigation, crown lengthening, electrosurgery (gingivectomy) to reshape loose gums as well as the use of Arestin and Atridox antibiotics.
