How do periodontal therapies work?

Treatments for periodontal disease aim to restore healthy tissue to the mouth. In the absence of effective treatment for periodontal disease, your gums can lose teeth and even bone in your jaw. If you have gingivitis or advanced gum disease, the highly trained general dentistry team at Dental Designers, including board-certified periodontist Dr. Ghattas, provides periodontal therapies to restore your gums.

>Periodontal therapies may include:
>The removal of tartar beneath your gumline by scaling and root planing
>The replacement of decayed gum tissue with gum grafts
>The use of lasers to remove plaque and tartar is very comfortable
>A crown lengthening procedure
>Dental implants

In addition to restoring your mouth to a healthier state, periodontal therapies can prevent dental plaque buildup from causing gum disease. For the longest-lasting results, you’ll need to maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home between dental visits.

How does an oral cancer screening work?

To detect early signs of cancer, your dentist conducts an oral cancer screening as part of your routine cleaning and exam. Checking for red or white patches inside your mouth or sores is as simple as having your dentist thoroughly examine your mouth. In addition to checking for lumps and other abnormalities, your dentist will also feel the soft tissue in your mouth.
