What are my treatment options?
If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, we offer a wide range of treatment options depending on the details of your situation and the severity of the problem. We always start with the least invasive options, which are non-surgical. However, in more severe cases, surgery may be necessary.

Surgical Treatment Options:

Suppose the tissue or bone surrounding your teeth is too damaged to be repaired with non-surgical treatment. In that case, several surgical procedures are available to prevent severe damage and restore a healthy smile. We will recommend the procedure that is best suited to the condition of your teeth and gums. Following is a list of common types of periodontal surgery:

Pocket Depth Reduction
In a healthy mouth, the teeth are firmly surrounded by gum tissue and securely supported by the bones of the jaw. Periodontal disease damages these tissues and bones, leaving open spaces around the teeth that we call pockets. The larger these pockets are, the easier it is for bacteria to collect inside them, leading to more and more damage over time. Eventually, the supportive structure degrades to the point that the tooth either falls out or needs to be removed.

During pocket reduction procedures (also known as “flap surgery”), we fold back the gum tissue and remove the bacteria hiding underneath, as well as the hardened plaque and tartar that have collected. We may also remove any tissue that is too damaged to survive. We then sew the healthy tissue back into place. Now that the tooth and root are free of bacteria, plaque, and tartar, and the pockets have been reduced, the gums can reattach to the teeth.

Regeneration
When the bone and tissue supporting the teeth have been lost due to severe gum disease, we can restore these areas with a regeneration procedure. We begin by folding back the gum tissue and removing the bacteria, plaque, and tartar during this process. Depending on your situation, we may perform a bone graft to stimulate new bone growth, or we may apply a special protein that stimulates tissue growth to repair the areas that the disease has destroyed.

Soft-Tissue Graft
A frequent symptom of gum disease is gum recession (also called gingival recession). As the gums recede, more of the roots are revealed. This can make teeth appear longer and can also create sensitivity to hot or cold liquids or food. It also exposes the tooth to increased damage from gum disease, as bacteria, plaque, and tartar attack the surface of the tooth and the root.

During a soft-tissue graft, tissue from the top of your mouth or another source is sewed to the gum area, covering the roots and restoring the gum line to its original, healthy location. This procedure can also be performed for cosmetic reasons.
How do I get started?
Roughly four out of ten people have experienced signs of Periodontitis by the age of 60. It’s important not to simply associate gum disease with older adults. We regularly treat clients in their twenties and teens. Smokers, people with diabetes, and those suffering from stress may be particularly vulnerable to gum disease.

To learn more about our periodontics services, start with an appointment with a treatment coordinator and Dr. Moshe Benarroch or Dr. Ian Pearson. You’ll learn about your options and how we might treat any issues you are having with your gums.
