Periodontal services refer to procedures that focus on treating dental issues concerning the gums. A periodontist has the expertise of diagnosing gum diseases and treating them. At Enhanced Smiles, the expert periodontists offer various services that help to treat gum diseases effectively.
The dentists detect various signs that signal Gum Diseases.
There are various stages of Periodontal Diseases which have been listed below.
Gingivitis:It is the first stage of gum disease caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar in the gums. This is the only stage where the diseases can be treated entirely.
Mild Periodontal Disease:If gingivitis is not treated promptly, it advances to mild periodontal disease, which affects the bones and roots of the teeth.
Moderate Periodontal Disease: In this stage, the bacteria attack the bloodstream of the patient along with the bones.
Advanced Periodontal Disease: It is the last stage of gum disease that leads to tooth loss. The bones begin to shrink, which loosens the tooth out of the sockets.
Scaling and Root Planing: It refers to dental cleaning where the periodontist performs scaling and root planing to remove the buildup of plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and the gum lines.
Gum Grafting: It is a procedure where the periodontist adds tissues to the gums that are receding.
Periodontal Plastic Surgery: It is a treatment procedure for patients who have undergone dental damages due to periodontal diseases. The periodontist performs special plastic surgery that can help restore the patient's smile.
Crown Lengthening: The periodontist performs crown lengthening to remove tissues around the tooth that has been damaged due to gum disease. It helps the dentists to provide better treatment to the affected tooth.
Osseous Surgery: It is a treatment that is provided to patients who have not responded to other gum periodontal treatments. The periodontists lift the gums to clean the roots and structures beneath them.
