At Crystal City Dental Group, we offer comprehensive periodontal care to help our patients maintain healthy gums and prevent the progression of gum disease. Our experienced periodontist uses the latest techniques and technologies to provide personalized and effective treatments for all stages of gum disease.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and bone.
What are the Signs of Gum Disease?
Gum disease can often develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular dental check-ups and cleanings essential for early detection and treatment. However, some common signs of gum disease include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in bite or tooth alignment
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to schedule a consultation with our periodontist as soon as possible to prevent the progression of gum disease and avoid further damage to your oral health.
Our Periodontal Services
At Crystal City Dental Group, we offer a wide range of periodontal services to meet the unique needs of our patients, including:
- Scaling and Root Planing: A non-surgical treatment that involves deep cleaning of the gums and tooth roots to remove plaque and tartar buildup and prevent the progression of gum disease.
- Pocket Reduction Surgery: A surgical procedure that involves removing bacteria and diseased tissue from deep pockets in the gums to promote healing and prevent further damage.
- Gum Grafting: A surgical procedure that involves replacing lost gum tissue to prevent further recession and improve the aesthetics of the smile.
- Dental Implants: An effective solution for missing teeth that involves placing small titanium posts in the jawbone to support custom-made restorations.
