Peridontal Therapy
At Purple Plum Dentistry, we understand the importance of maintaining not just your teeth, but also the health of your gums. Periodontal therapy is a crucial part of our comprehensive dental care services, designed to treat and prevent gum disease to ensure your overall oral health is at its best. Our skilled team utilizes advanced techniques to provide effective and comfortable periodontal treatments customized to meet the unique needs of each patient.
What is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy encompasses a range of treatments aimed at combating periodontal disease, a condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Left untreated, this disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. At Purple Plum Dentistry, our approach to periodontal therapy is both preventive and restorative. We focus on stopping the progression of gum disease and repairing the damage it has caused.
Scaling and Root Planing
One of the most common periodontal treatments we offer is scaling and root planing. This non-surgical procedure involves thorough cleaning of the tooth surfaces and below the gum line to remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins. By smoothing the tooth roots, this treatment helps gums reattach to the teeth, reducing pocket depths and halting disease progression.
Gum Graft Surgery
For patients with severe gum recession, gum graft surgery can be an effective solution. This surgical procedure involves taking tissue, often from the roof of the mouth, and grafting it onto the affected gum areas. Gum graft surgery not only covers exposed roots to reduce sensitivity, but also helps prevent further gum deterioration and improve the appearance of your smile.
Laser Therapy
Purple Plum Dentistry utilizes advanced laser technology for periodontal therapy. Laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment option that targets and removes inflamed gum tissue, encourages regeneration, and promotes faster healing. This method is highly precise, reducing discomfort and recovery time for patients while effectively addressing periodontal issues.
Maintenance and Follow-up Care
Effective periodontal treatment doesn't end with the initial procedures. Ongoing maintenance and follow-up care are essential to ensure long-term success. At Purple Plum Dentistry, we offer regular periodontal cleanings and assessments to monitor your gum health and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Our commitment to your oral health means we are with you every step of the way to prevent recurrence of gum disease.
By choosing Purple Plum Dentistry for your periodontal therapy, you invest in premium care tailored to your specific needs. Our dedicated team is here to provide expert treatment and guidance, ensuring your gums remain healthy and your smile stays radiant.
