Do Not Lose Your Teeth and Your Overall Health to Gum Disease

Stop the Progression of Periodontal Disease in Gainesville, FL

• Scaling and Root Planing – A non-surgical procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar deposits located below the gum line, scaling and root planing therapy is most effective when gum disease is caught early. You will be sufficiently numbed for the procedure so we can work thoroughly without causing you any discomfort. Plaque and tartar deposits are gently removed and the tooth roots are smoothed to promote reattachment of healthy tissue.
• Gingivectomy – The removal of excess gum tissue reduces the depths of pockets that form around your teeth in the presence of periodontal disease, leaving behind healthy tissue and an improved tooth-to-gum ratio.
• Osseous Surgery – When other treatment does not improve your condition, osseous surgery may be recommended. An incision in your gums exposes your tooth roots to allow for complete removal of tartar deposits. We also smooth your root surfaces and eliminate discrepancies created by bacteria within the underlying bone. This procedure reduces periodontal pocket depths and stops the progression of gum disease to save your teeth.
