Gum Disease Treatment Tucson
If you’ve reached this page you’re probably looking for a Tucson dentist who treats gum disease or are wondering if you have it. In either case it’s important to know that gum disease strikes at least 1/3 of the population over 30 and must be taken seriously.
Treatments
The following are some of the procedures used to treat patients diagnosed with a periodontal (gum) disease. Rest assured that Dr. Rosenberg is familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and will perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the healthy smile you desire.
Non-surgical periodontal treatment
Non-surgical periodontal treatments include:
- scaling and root planing
- removing plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets
- smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins
- adjunctive therapy such as local delivery antimicrobials
- host modulation, as needed on a case-by-case basis
Please note the majority of patients require ongoing maintenance therapy to sustain their oral health. Non-surgical therapy does have its limitations and when it does not achieve periodontal health, surgery may be needed.
Periodontal Surgery
If you’re diagnosed with periodontal disease, Dr. Rosenberg may recommend periodontal surgery. Periodontal surgery is necessary when the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment.
Following are the four types of surgical treatments most commonly prescribed:
- Pocket Reduction Procedures
- Regenerative Procedures
- Crown Lengthening
- Soft Tissue Grafts
