PERIODONTICS

Periodontics | Dental Implants Arlington Height IL

Taking good care of your gums is as important as keeping your teeth healthy. An accumulation of germs in your gums can cause periodontal disease, which can cause tooth loss. It has been determined that you have periodontal disease. The good news is that there are many effective treatments available for periodontal disorders. There are numerous advantages to treatment. You’ll increase the possibilities of keeping your natural teeth – and reduce the chances of intense health problems related to periodontal diseases. A periodontist is a gum specialist who treats diseases of the tissues (your gums and jawbone) that support your teeth.

Daily brushing and flossing at home and regular check-ups at our practice are the best ways to protect your gums from infection. Many people who need periodontal maintenance should have these cleanings every three to four months. Our periodontist at My Dental Art can recommend the proper cleaning schedule for you.

 

The most common treatments for periodontal disease include:

• Scaling and root planning, known as a deep cleaning
• Tissue regeneration
• Pocket elimination surgery
• Dental implants
• Laser treatment
