Periodontics

• Periodontal Surgery
  If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean. Your dentist may also recommend that you see a Periodontist (specialist of the gums and supporting bone).
• Deep Cleaning
  If the disease has progressed to more advanced stages, a special periodontal cleaning called scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) will be recommended. It is usually done one quadrant of the mouth at a time while the area is numb. In this procedure, tartar, plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line (scaling) and rough spots on root surfaces are made smooth (planing). This procedure helps gum tissue to heal and pockets to shrink. Medications, special medicated mouth rinses, and an electric tooth brush may be recommended to help control infection and healing.

• Braces
  Invisalign ® treatment is the clear alternative to metal braces for kids, teens, and adults.  It is a system of clear plastic trays used as orthodontic devices, essentially acting as clear braces, that fit precisely over your teeth and move them gradually. Invisalign® treatment straightens teeth more predictably and comfortably, is faster than braces, and unlike online alternatives, provides you with an in-person consultation with a real doctor of dental medicine, rather than a sales consultant.
