Gum Surgery

Sometimes, in order to treat advanced gum disease, surgical procedures are necessary, such as:

  • Crown Lengthening
  • Pocket Depth Reduction
  • Soft Tissue Grafts
  • Bone and Tissue Regeneration
  • Ridge Augmentation

Advanced Medications

Recent advances in periodontal treatment allow us to now place medications directly at the site of infection. This is often used in conjunction with scaling and root planing. In addition, an antimicrobial rinse is sometimes used after some procedures.

Strict Home Care Regimen

A home care routine specific to the patient’s individual needs may be prepared to prevent the patient from relapsing.
