Periodontal Treatment
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is another name for gum disease. Gum disease is a painful condition that causes the gums to become red and inflamed. There are many negative health effects associated with periodontal disease, but the worst may be that it causes you to lose your teeth.
Periodontal disease is a leading cause of tooth loss. There are various procedures and treatments that our Coral Springs, FL dentist is specialized in performing in our modern dental office. If you suffer from periodontal disease and need a dentist near you, give us a call today to schedule a consultation. Our experienced dentist at Designer Smiles, FL, will assess your gums to create a treatment plan that works for you.

It could require multiple procedures or treatments depending on the severity of the disease, but our goal is to make the treatment as timely and comfortable as possible. We are a patient-focused practice, and your care will always be customized for your needs.
Bone and Gum Grafts
Bone grafting is a minor dental surgery that can be performed in our dental office. It is the process of adding more support to the jawbones to create a stronger base for artificial teeth and dental implants.
Crown Lengthening
Periodontists use crown lengthening to reduce the amount of gum tissue that overlays the teeth. For people with gum disease, crown lengthening can reduce the “pocket” between the teeth and gum where bacteria can grow.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery is another term for pocket reduction. Gum disease can cause a pocket to form in between the tooth and gum where bacteria grow. Osseous surgery cleans the pockets and reduces their size to prevent the spread of gum disease.
Surgical Interventions
Multiple kinds of surgical interventions may be necessary to treat periodontal disease. Our specialized dentist will create a personalized treatment plan for you that may include antibiotic therapy as well as minor surgeries.
