Periodontics is a specialized brand of dentistry dedicated to the comprehensive care of the gums and other supporting structures of the teeth. Here at Prospect Park Family Dentistry, we are proud to provide a number of periodontal treatments to meet your needs and help you enjoy a healthier mouth and smile.
Our periodontal services include:
One of the major focuses of periodontics is the treatment of periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. This condition is the result of bacterial infection triggered by the accumulation of plaque on the teeth. This condition progresses from gingivitis, marked by gum inflammation, to periodontitis, which can severely affect the gum tissue and underlying bone, potentially leading to tooth loss if left unaddressed.
Common signs of gum disease include:
- Redness, swelling, tenderness and bleeding of the gums
- Loose teeth
- Pain when chewing
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
Our dentists and team will check for signs of gum disease during your regular appointments. If you are diagnosed, we will work one-on-one with you to create a treatment plan to manage the disease and improve your oral health.
Beyond the treatment of gum disease, periodontics also involves dental implant placement to replace missing teeth as well as procedures involving the soft oral tissues of the mouth. If you are receiving any kind of periodontal procedure, our experienced dentists will take the time to help you understand your oral health and treatment options and ensure your comfort during your time in our office.
