A Treatment Plan Tailored To Your Needs
Our team of periodontists and hygienists are here to help renew your oral health and help you manage your symptoms of periodontal disease. Each patients needs vary depending on their circumstances, and we will create a custom treatment plan to ensure that your specific needs are met. When you come in for your appointment, the team will thoroughly clean your gums, polish your teeth, and examine your smile. Your dentist will determine how many periodontal services you need a year to best manage your symptoms. X-rays and other images will be taken regularly to help track changes in your oral health, tissue damage, oral cancer, and more, and adjust your treatments as necessary.
Finding And Treating Potential Problems Early
Untreated periodontal disease can progress quickly if it is not caught in time. It’s essential that you visit your dentist twice a year for checkups that can help monitor changes in your oral health. If you notice any changes around your teeth or gums, like sensitivity, swelling, or bleeding when you floss, it’s important to bring these up to your dentist. By catching these changes early, your treatment plan can be adjusted to help rid of the harmful bacteria that can be causing this. Your team will also look for signs of oral cancer and other problems that can be harmful to your smile. Male patients over the age 50 are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer, so it’s important that you are screened regularly for this.
Advanced Technology For More Efficient Treatments
Our advanced technologies help us to monitor your smile and treat problems with more efficiency. Starting with your examinations, we have digital X-rays and intraoral scanning which offers increased comfort and faster imaging to identify concerns or create impressions. CT scans can also be used to examine jawbone deterioration and create a plan to improve this concern. When treating periodontal disease, we can use laser services to precisely remove plaque buildup and prevent your gums from receding. LAPIP can be used to help address dental implants that may have been damaged. These advanced technology options can help improve your care and can even help educate patients better about their oral hygiene.
