Deep Teeth Cleaning
Deep teeth cleaning, also known as periodontal scaling and root planing, is an essential dental procedure that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy gums. Deep teeth cleaning helps to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line, where standard brushing and flossing cannot reach. By doing so, it helps to eliminate gum problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Laser for Gum Disease
Laser dentistry is an excellent addition to treating periodontal diseases. It offers a non-invasive solution for various gum problems. It utilizes advanced laser technology to address issues such as gum disease, gum recession, and uneven gum lines. By targeting specific problem areas, the laser effectively removes bacteria and stimulates the growth of healthy gum tissue.
Bone Grafting
Sometimes, severe bone loss will occur due to periodontal diseases. In those situations, it is necessary to place a bone graft to support the root of the adjacent tooth/teeth.
