A healthy smile depends on healthy gums. Most adults have some degree of periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to bleeding gums, gum recession, sensitivity and, in the worst case, tooth loss. In fact, periodontal disease is the most common cause of tooth loss among adults. Deep cleanings are required when a patient has periodontal disease, and is the first step towards cleaning away the debris that has accumulated underneath the gums. Our goal with deep cleanings is to stop the progression of periodontal disease and help maintain and improve your periodontal status to achieve healthy gums.
We use ultrasonic technology allows us to perform even the most difficult cleanings. This device, also known as the Cavitron, generates gentle, high-frequency sound waves to create vibrations (called cavitation) to remove heavy deposits and debris comfortably and thoroughly, with much less scraping.
We offer the latest gum treatments to stop gum disease from progressing, including:
Soft tissue management
Medications
Gum grafts
New tissue regenerative procedures
If your gums are detracting from the appearance of your smile, we also offer procedures such as gum lifts and pocket elimination surgery. Ask us today if these treatments are right for you!
