Gum Disease Treatment

We understand that gum disease can be a significant concern for many patients. Our goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It can range from mild inflammation, known as gingivitis, to more severe forms that can lead to tooth loss.

What To Expect

Our treatment approach begins with a thorough examination by Dr. Filip Orban, our experienced dentist. During your visit, we will assess the health of your gums, measure the depth of periodontal pockets and take any necessary X-rays to evaluate bone loss. Early detection is crucial, and we emphasize regular dental checkups to catch gum disease in its initial stages.

For mild cases, professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene practices may be sufficient. This includes scaling and root planing, a deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing. We may also recommend antimicrobial treatments to reduce bacterial growth.

In more advanced cases, surgical interventions might be necessary, including:

• Flap surgery: Removes tartar deposits in deep pockets.
• Bone grafts: Regenerates lost bone.
• Tissue grafts: Restores gum tissue.
• Guided tissue regeneration: Encourages growth of bone and gum tissue.
• Laser treatments: Reduces pocket depth and bacteria.
