Gum disease is one of the most preventable diseases if addressed in its early stages. With good diet, at-home dental hygiene routine and regular dental check-ups you can reduce the risk of gum disease and help keep your natural teeth for longer.
Overview
At ARID Newton-Wellesley, we only employ highly trained specialists to ensure your oral health is being taken care of by the best in the business. You’re in safe hands with us and our popular minimally invasive treatments, which can only be performed by our board-certified specialists.
Periodontics is a field of dentistry which deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease in both soft and hard tissues, and the placement of dental implants. According to data from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 70% of Americans aged 65 and older have periodontitis (inflammation of gums and bone loss). The trigger for periodontal or gum disease is plaque, although other factors such as age, tobacco use, stress and clenching can influence the health of your periodontium.
Treatment
Periodontal microsurgery is the refinement of basic surgical techniques made possible by the use of the surgical microscope, allowing highly skilled dental specialists to perform minimally invasive treatments. All of our specialists are board-certified, which means they’ve completed the highest level of training available to ensure absolute safety and quality of results.
When a patient is diagnosed with moderate to severe gum disease, there is a need for a greater level of expertise by a trained specialist. This is where ARID can help. After a comprehensive dental and periodontal evaluation which eliminates the cause of the trauma, corrective surgical therapy may be recommended, and this includes flap surgery to eliminate any gum pockets causing problems.
Save teeth
Sometimes a regenerative bone graft procedure will be necessary to save a tooth. If the progression of the disease is so advanced that your natural tooth is no longer treatable, or if you have lost several teeth, pre-implant surgical procedures such as ridge augmentation and sinus grafting might be the best recommendation for you. If you have any concerns about your health and gum disease, please contact us as soon as possible so we can treat the problem in the early stages.
