Periodontal Services
Everyone should be aware of gum disease (gingivitis). Brushing and flossing definitely help to keep your breath fresh and clean, but deep cleaning and regular appointments help to stop the spread of gum disease.
The skillful team at Arizona Advanced Dental of Mesa, AZ, is proud to serve the local community with top-of-the-line dental care services, including periodontal solutions, to help your gums look and feel their best.
How Periodontal Services Can Help
Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease, occurs when your gums and surrounding tissues become inflamed. Gum disease is easier to treat in its earlier stages but can quickly get out of hand if left untreated.
Gum recession and bone and tooth loss are some of the more severe effects of gum disease in the later stages.
Here are some effective periodontal services that we offer our patients:
- Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): This procedure is non-surgical and removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line, halting the progression of gum disease.
- Antibiotics: We will prescribe antibiotics, where necessary, to help fight the infection.
- Pocket Reduction Procedures: For more advanced gum disease, surgical procedures can reshape the gum tissue and reduce gum pockets, making them easier to clean.
- Bone Grafting: If your gum disease has escalated to bone loss, we will employ bone grafting procedures that can promote bone regeneration and support the teeth.
- Dental Implants: For teeth lost due to severe gum disease, dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution that fuses to your jawbone.
