Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

The first step in the periodontal care process is a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. This includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bone structure. Your Clarksburg dentist uses advanced diagnostic tools to detect any signs of gum disease, such as inflammation, bleeding, or pockets between the teeth and gums. This detailed assessment allows us to identify any issues early and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs.
If gum disease is caught early, non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing may be sufficient. During scaling, plaque and tartar are removed from the tooth surfaces and below the gum line. Root planing smooths the root surfaces, discouraging further plaque and tartar buildup and promoting healing of the gums. These procedures are performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
In cases of advanced gum disease, surgical treatments may be necessary. These could include procedures like gum grafts to cover exposed roots, regenerative procedures to stimulate bone and tissue growth, or pocket reduction procedures to reduce the depth of gum pockets. At Urban Dental Studio, we utilize the latest techniques and technology to ensure the most effective and comfortable treatment possible.
Periodontal care is essential for maintaining good oral health. By treating gum disease, we can prevent further damage to your teeth and gums, improving your overall dental health and helping to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible.
Healthy gums are not just crucial for oral health, but they also play a significant role in the aesthetics of your smile. Periodontal treatments can help to reduce gum inflammation and recession, leading to a more attractive and confident smile.
Research has linked gum disease to several systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By maintaining good periodontal health, you're not just protecting your teeth and gums, but also potentially improving your overall health.
According to the CDC, nearly half of all adults over 30 in the U.S. have some form of gum disease.
