At Dr. Barzi Brookline Dental, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care that extends to all facets of oral health, including specialized treatments in periodontics. Periodontics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Our commitment lies in helping patients preserve their natural teeth and maintain their gum health, ensuring a strong foundation for overall oral wellness.
What Happens if I Don’t Treat Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to other health complications such as heart disease and diabetes. Our approach to periodontal care is proactive and patient-centered, aiming to address gum disease at any stage, from gingivitis to more advanced forms of periodontitis. Our periodontal services include:
- Crown Lengthening
- Dental Implants
- Gum Grafting
- Periodontal Surgery
- Scaling & Root Planing
- Tooth Extractions
The process of periodontal treatment at our practice involves a tailored approach to each patient’s needs, including:
- A comprehensive evaluation of your gum health, including the use of diagnostic imaging to assess the severity of periodontal disease.
- Non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, helping to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health.
- Surgical options for advanced cases, including flap surgery and bone grafts, to restore supportive tissues and reduce periodontal pockets.
- The placement of dental implants for patients who have lost teeth due to periodontal disease, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing replacement option.
Benefits of periodontal treatment include:
- Effective management and reduction of gum inflammation and bleeding, promoting healthier gums.
- Prevention of tooth loss by addressing the underlying causes of periodontal disease and strengthening the support around natural teeth.
- Improvement in overall oral health and prevention of related health issues, enhancing your quality of life.
- Personalized care plans that focus on restoring and maintaining your gum health in the long term.
