What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a specialised area of dentistry we offer at The Dental Abode. It focuses on three areas: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. These are conditions that affect the tissues and structures that support your teeth, such as the gums, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone.

Periodontal disease, AKA gum disease or gingivitis, is brought on when plaque-containing bacteria weeds its way into the space between your teeth and gums. Here it works to slowly damage and destroy the roots of your teeth and the supporting bone. Over time, your gums gradually become more irritated and “puffy”, bleed more easily, make chewing uncomfortable and – if unaddressed – can cause teeth loss. However, with early periodontic treatment, you can avoid going through these unpleasant symptoms.

Our team of skilled and experienced periodontists is dedicated to helping you maintain good oral health and the stability of your teeth. We’ll make sure you have everything you need to fight gum disease and keep your mouth healthy as possible.

If you have any questions about our periodontal services or would like to speak to a professional, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. We look forward to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, attractive smile.

The Dental Abode’s Approach

At The Dental Abode, we understand that every patient is unique, and we will work with you to create a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.

Our highly skilled periodontists can work wonders with procedures such as:

  • Scaling and root planing: This involves the removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) from your teeth and roots, helping to reduce inflammation and prevent gum disease.
  • Gum grafts: If you have a receding gumline, a gum graft can help to cover exposed roots and protect them from further damage.
  • Osseous surgery: A type of surgery used to remove infected bone and tissue, and to reshape the bone to create a more stable foundation for your teeth.
  • Dental implants: This involves replacing one or more missing teeth with a permanent and natural-looking implant.
