At Dentist of Anaheim, we offer several treatment options for periodontal disease. The best treatment option for each patient is different, and that’s why we perform a detailed exam and consultation before recommending a treatment plan. The severity of periodontal disease determines the best method of treatment, which is classified as mild, moderate, or severe.
Our experienced dentist will perform a detailed examination to determine how severe your periodontal disease is. This includes measuring the depth of the “pockets” around your gums with a special probe and checking how well your teeth fit together, which is known as your bite. X-rays are also necessary to find out if the disease has spread to areas that aren’t visible.
Periodontal disease can range from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, which can result in tooth loss and infections. At our dental clinic, we offer a variety of periodontal treatment options to help restore your oral health. The type of treatment recommended depends on the severity of your gum disease.
Our experienced dentists and staff will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your needs. Periodontal treatment generally falls into two categories: non-surgical and surgical.
Non-surgical treatment is typically the first line of defense against gum disease. This may include deep teeth cleaning, also known as root scaling, which removes plaque and tartar below the gumline. Antibiotics, either topical or internal, may also be used.
If gum loss is significant and the tooth root is exposed, surgical treatment may be necessary. Soft tissue grafting, or gum grafting, is one option. This involves taking tissue, often from the roof of the mouth, and attaching it to the area that needs additional gum tissue.
Prior to recommending a treatment plan, we will conduct a thorough examination and take X-rays to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and bone.
Proper periodontal treatment is essential for eradicating gum disease and restoring oral health. It may involve improving dental hygiene, taking medication, or undergoing surgery. The cost of treatment depends on your specific needs, and we will discuss all options and costs with you before proceeding with any treatment plan. Don't wait until it's too late – schedule an appointment with us today to start your journey towards a healthier smile.
Treatment costs depend on the specifics of your case. Which treatments you need, how many, and how much your insurance will cover all go into determining how much you’ll need to pay out of pocket. We will discuss the cost with you in detail once we develop a treatment plan and go over all your payment plan options.
