Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal disease affect 1 in every 2 Americans over the age of 30, and involves the deterioration of the gums and bones surrounding your teeth. In most cases, periodontal disease can be treated non-surgically to restore overall oral health and prevent tooth loss.

During a regular cleaning, the areas above the gum line are cleaned and inspected for periodontal disease using probing and x-rays. To treat periodontal disease, a cleaning of the root surface is performed below the gum line by one of our caring and highly-trained dental hygienists. They can help determine and explain your oral health needs, as well as assist you in designing a home care regimen that works for you.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-Rays

Dental technology has significantly improved over the last few years, now offering digital x-rays versus traditional radon x-rays. Safer and more convenient, digital x-rays emit 90% less radon than traditional x-ray machines, and your images are ready to view instantly. One of the best advancements is that digital x-ray sensors are typically smaller and more comfortable than the sharp edges of older films. With high-quality images and environmentally-friendly digital files, digital x-rays are easily transferred between offices.
