Our team provides periodontic care to help manage gum health and even prevent complications like tooth loss. To help your smile, we could conduct a diagnosis to see what treatments you need. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and dental implant expert talks about how we diagnose the disease and offer relief.
When to Consider an Appointment
When do you need to see our team for a diagnosis and potentially, periodontic care? If you have symptoms like sore and red gums, bleeding when you brush and floss, and recession that makes teeth look longer than usual, then you should consider an appointment with our team. We can find out if you need treatment, and then create a plan tailored for your smile, so we can manage the issue and help you avoid the periodontitis stage, which is linked to adult tooth loss. If you have the disease and have lost teeth already, we can manage your periodontal disease and then provide implant dentistry to secure new and lifelike teeth!
A Close Look with Digital Imaging
Our team will first carefully examine your smile with digital imaging technology, such as CT scanning and digital x-rays. We can not only look at the surfaces of the gums, but also at the underlying attachment tissues and bone structure to assess any damage. Our team can then examine the tissues with precision and create a plan for relief, so we can manage it and protect your smile from missing teeth. Every smile is unique, and every smile needs a personalized plan to protect it from tooth loss and discomfort!
What Happens Next?
If we catch the issue in the early stages of inflammation, then our team could provide a deep cleaning to remove harmful buildup from the teeth and roots, which can then be managed with traditional cleanings every three to four months. If we find the issue in the more advanced stages, we could use dental lasers to help manage the issue and protect your smile, reshaping the gum line after we remove diseased portions. Our team could also conduct gum grafting if you have severe recession, or use grafting to strengthen the tissues so they can handle dental implants.
If you have any questions about how we protect your dental health with laser dentistry, or about how we address lost teeth with one or more dental implants, then contact our team today to learn more. We look forward to helping your smile stay strong and whole for years to come!
