Masterful Care
for Your Gum Health
Periodontal therapy is an essential part of oral health care that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting structures of teeth, especially the gums and underlying bone. At Foundation Implants & Periodontics, our primary objective is to assist you in the long-term care of a healthy, functional smile by providing advanced periodontal treatments that are personalized to fulfill your individual requirements.

Periodontal therapy is a spectrum of treatments meant to fight gum disease, restore oral health, and prevent further damage to your teeth and supporting structures. Since gum disease has been linked to several systemic health issues, receiving this specialized dental care is important for maintaining both your oral health and overall well-being.

Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Effective therapy depends on early recognition of the indicators of periodontal disease. Typical symptoms include:
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
- Changes in bite or tooth alignment
Ignoring these symptoms can have severe consequences. People with advanced periodontal disease may lose their teeth, but the risks go far beyond your mouth. Untreated gum infections cause abscesses and systemic infections that affect your body elsewhere. These infections, in severe form, may be fatal, emphasizing the vital need for early periodontal disease therapy.
Types of
Periodontal Therapy
Non-Surgical Treatments
Early on in gum disease, nonsurgical periodontal therapy might be enough:
- Scaling and Root Planning: To encourage healing and reattachment of healthy gum tissue, this deep-cleaning procedure removes tartar and plaque from beneath the gum line and smooths the tooth roots.
- Antibiotic Treatments: Antibiotics, either systemic or local, can be used to manage bacterial infections and encourage healing.
Surgical Treatments
Should non-surgical solutions prove insufficient, surgical intervention becomes necessary:
- Flap Surgery: This procedure involves pulling the gums back in order to remove tartar deposits and diseased tissues. The gums are then sutured back in position to tightly surround the teeth.
- Laser Periodontal Therapy: Using highly focused light energy, we are able to kill bacteria and disinfect areas around teeth and implants. Laser assisted periodontal therapy is an excellent tool that helps us make sure we leave the oral environment as clean as possible, which ultimately promotes the best healing.
- Bone and Tissue Grafts: Significant bone or tissue loss can be addressed with bone and tissue grafting procedures, which help rebuild these structures and improve support for your teeth.
