Periodontal therapy plays a crucial role in maintaining your oral health by addressing gum disease and other issues that affect the soft tissues of your mouth. At Veneer Lounge, we specialize in providing comprehensive periodontal care to ensure your smile remains healthy and vibrant. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, starts with plaque buildup. This sticky film of bacteria can cause irritation, inflammation and infection in the gums. If left untreated, what begins as gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that can lead to gum recession, bone loss and even tooth loss.
During the early stages, known as gingivitis, symptoms include red, swollen and bleeding gums. This condition is often manageable with improved oral hygiene and professional cleanings. However, when gingivitis advances to periodontitis, more intensive treatments are required. Periodontitis can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that become infected. Our office provides advanced periodontal treatments, including scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and promote gum reattachment.
Our periodontal treatment options include:
In addition to treating gum disease, our periodontal services include replacing missing teeth with dental implants. This procedure requires specialized training and expertise to ensure the best outcomes, and depending on your unique needs our dentists may work with a trusted and highly skilled specialist to ensure optimal implant placement. Dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
