Treatment of Periodontal Disease

According to studies, patients with untreated periodontal disease (gum disease) lose a greater number of teeth per year.

Periodontitis or gingivitis treatment is dependent on the severity of periodontal disease, but should never be an unpleasant experience. Typically our patients go through the following steps:

    Comprehensive periodontal and oral examination
    Oral cancer screening
    Home care instructions
    Non-surgical treatment: Scaling and Root Planing
    Re-evaluation following scaling and root planning
    Periodontal procedures / surgery: Pocket Reduction Therapy,
    Regenerative Tissue Procedures, Soft Tissue Grafts (see
    Treatment of Gum Recession), Replacement of Teeth via Dental Implants
    Long-term maintenance: two semi-annual visits with Dr. Chinwalla

For patients that have already lost a tooth to periodontal disease, dental implants are currently the best option. With dental implants it is possible to prevent bone and tooth loss in the future. The scope of dental implant therapy varies based on the number of teeth lost, severity of bone loss in the area to be treated, and the site of the mouth where teeth need to be replaced.
