Do I Need Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Your gums support your teeth and protect the roots from damage. However, if your gum health is compromised, it begins to impact your teeth and can result in the loss of teeth. We offer reliable periodontal care to halt gum disease and repair the gum tissue. Our team uses minimally invasive techniques and treatments to restore your oral health. Here are some common signs that you need periodontal disease treatment:
- Swollen or puffy gums
- Gums that bleed constantly
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Receding gum line
- Dark red gums
Our Services for Periodontal Care
We believe every smile is unique and deserves custom care. That's why we tailor your treatment to fit your specific oral health concerns and smile goals. Whether you need a single treatment or multiple personalized services to repair your gums, you can rely on our team. Here are some of the results-driven periodontal treatments we offer:
- LANAP Laser Treatment: We use a laser to remove bacteria and compromised gum tissue from the pockets at the bottom of your teeth. The laser is a minimally invasive way to treat and halt gum disease.
- Cleanings: Our periodontist performs scaling and root planing to remove tartar from your teeth and encourage the gums to reattach. These cleanings may require a series of appointments to restore your oral health.
- Gum Grafts: If your gums have receded too much or suffered significant damage, then a gum graft is a great solution. The procedure involves grafting new or existing tissue onto the gums to recreate the height and support lost due to gum disease.
- Bone Grafts: We perform bone grafts for those with thin or brittle jawbones. If you're interested in dental implants, a bone graft may be necessary to give your jaw the density required for the implant post to successfully fuse with your jaw. Our periodontist places the bone graft strategically to promote bone growth and strengthen that portion of your jaw.
Our Exam Process for Periodontal Treatments
When you visit our office, you immediately discover the sense of community in our friendly team. We treat our patients like family and deliver the same quality care that we would give our loved ones. The periodontist is dedicated to your oral and overall health, and you see that expressed in his expertise and comforting chairside manner.
We perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jaws to determine which periodontal treatments will improve your oral health. Dr. Cecala will discuss the results of your exam and fully explain the treatments we recommend and how they will restore your dental health.
Periodontal Disease Treatment FAQs
Protecting your oral health is a lifetime commitment, and it's normal to have questions about safeguarding your smile. That's why we encourage you to voice your questions, and we're happy to provide the answers you need to make an informed decision. Here are some of the most common questions we receive about periodontal disease treatments in Norwood Park:
Can gum disease be cured?
If gum disease is caught and addressed in the earliest phase, called gingivitis, then it can be reversed. It's necessary to maintain good oral hygiene and your dental appointments to keep gum disease from progressing.
How long does it take to heal from a bone graft?
Your recovery period is determined by your overall health. However, many people recover from a bone graft within a few months. During this time, new bone cells gradually grow and integrate with the graft.
How often should I get scaling and root planing?
We perform thorough scaling and root planing, and we'll schedule maintenance appointments when necessary, typically every three to four months. If your gum health is severely compromised, we may recommend additional appointments.
