At Advanced Dental, we treat periodontal disease, a gum infection affecting bone support around teeth, preventing tooth loss and safeguarding overall health with expert care.
At Advanced Dental, we specialize in understanding and treating periodontal disease—a bacterial infection impacting gum health and jawbone stability. With expert care, we help prevent tooth loss and related health risks like diabetes and cardiovascular issues.
Gingivitis causes gum inflammation and bleeding. At Advanced Dental, we provide effective treatment to restore gum health.
Gums show signs of inflammation, and bone loss is minimal. Treatment involves scaling and improved oral hygiene practices.
Moderate periodontitis causes gum inflammation and bone loss; treatment may require surgery.
Severe periodontitis results in significant gum and bone loss, leading to tooth mobility. Treatment may include surgery and ongoing care.
Periodontal treatments at Advanced Dental focus on preventing and treating gum disease through scaling, root planing, and advanced surgical procedures.
-
Scaling
At Advanced Dental, we effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup from teeth and below the gum line. This deep cleaning process helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay, promoting overall oral health. Regular scaling ensures healthy gums and a brighter smile for lasting dental wellness.
-
Root Planing
At Advanced Dental, we perform root planing to smooth the tooth roots and remove any remaining plaque and bacteria. This process promotes gum healing and helps prevent further periodontal issues. Our goal is to restore gum health and maintain a strong foundation for your teeth.

Flap Surgery
Flap surgery at Advanced Dental treats advanced periodontal disease by lifting the gums to access tooth roots and underlying bone. This procedure enables thorough cleaning of infected tissue, promoting healing and restoring gum health while enhancing the stability of your teeth.
-
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting at Advanced Dental involves adding bone material to areas of jawbone loss, often due to periodontal disease or tooth loss. This procedure helps restore bone structure, providing a solid foundation for dental implants and improving overall oral health, function, and aesthetics.
-
Soft Tissue Grafts
At Advanced Dental, we perform soft tissue grafts to address gum recession and enhance the gumline’s appearance. This procedure protects exposed tooth roots and promotes gum health, ensuring better stability for your smile while supporting long-term oral health.
-
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Guided tissue regeneration at Advanced Dental involves using a special barrier membrane to direct the growth of new tissue and bone. This technique helps restore lost structures around teeth affected by periodontal disease, promoting healing and improving the stability and health of your smile.

Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance at Advanced Dental is a crucial follow-up care program designed for patients with a history of gum disease. This routine involves regular cleanings and assessments to prevent recurrence, ensuring healthy gums and teeth. Consistent maintenance helps sustain oral health.
Early periodontal diagnosis and treatment prevent disease progression, preserve gum health, and save teeth, ensuring a healthier smile.
Early detection and treatment of periodontal disease can help you maintain your natural teeth, preventing tooth loss and preserving your smile.
Identifying periodontal issues early can minimize the extent of treatment required, resulting in lower dental costs and more affordable care options.
Timely diagnosis allows for effective treatment to stop the progression of periodontal disease, safeguarding your gums and overall oral health.
Gum health is linked to overall health. Early treatment can reduce the risk of systemic diseases, enhancing your general well-being.
Early intervention helps prevent advanced periodontal disease, which can cause pain and discomfort, leading to a more pleasant dental experience.
Healthy gums contribute to a beautiful smile. Treating periodontal disease early can improve your confidence and encourage better oral hygiene practices.
The main priority in treating dental disease is controlling the infection. Scaling and root planing may be necessary to remove the bacteria that caused periodontal disease. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat the disease.
We utilize the latest technology to better give you the highest possible chance of preserving your natural teeth. In the case that your disease is so severe that a tooth must be extracted, dental implants can be used to preserve the alignment of the teeth as well as for chewing and esthetic purposes.
Periodontal disease and heart disease are similar in that they are both linked with chronic inflammation. Studies have shown that periodontal disease may increase the risk of developing heart disease. Maintaining a state of optimal oral health and following through with any treatment plans prescribed by your periodontist are important for maintaining overall health.
Scaling and root planing is an effective way to treat periodontal disease and control the infection. During this treatment, the hygienist may use an ultrasonic tool or a scraping device to remove tartar from the pockets in between the teeth and gums. Your hygienist may also use a local anesthetic to numb the area being treated in order to keep you comfortable during the treatment.
Maintaining regularly scheduled appointments with your family dentist for a cleaning and exam is a great start to preventing periodontal disease. During a proffessional cleaning, your dentist or dental hygienist will thoroughly remove plaque and tartar that, if left to accumulate, can lead to periodontitis.
Aside from that, brushing and flossing twice a day is the most effective way to prevent gum disease. Maintaining a healthy diet including lots of fruits and vegetables, limiting bad habits such as smoking and eating sweets, and reducing stress can also serve to help prevent periodontal disease.
