Your Path to Optimal Oral Health Begins Here
Gum disease can affect more than just your gums—it can impact your overall health. At our Millburn office, we specialize in both non-surgical and surgical treatments that target gum disease at its source, helping restore your gums to their healthiest state.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for early gum disease or need advanced care, our team will guide you with the most effective options. From consultation to treatment and aftercare, we ensure your experience is smooth and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy optimal oral health.
Signs You Need to See a Periodontist
Early detection is key to preventing the progression of gum disease. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to visit a periodontist right away to address the issue before it worsens:
- Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed while brushing or flossing, it’s often an early sign of gum disease.
- Receding Gums: If your teeth appear longer or you notice your gum line pulling away, it could indicate gum recession.
- Persistent Bad Breath: Chronic bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth might suggest an infection under the gums.
- Loose Teeth: If one or more teeth feel loose, gum disease may be affecting the supporting structures of your teeth.
- Swollen or Tender Gums: Red, swollen, or sore gums are common signs that something isn’t right.
The Connection Between Gum Health and Overall Health
Your periodontal health is directly linked to your overall health. Left untreated, gum disease can contribute to more serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even stroke. By addressing gum disease early, we not only help restore your smile but also safeguard your overall well-being. Prioritizing periodontal care is a simple step toward a healthier body and a brighter smile.
Our Comprehensive Gum Treatments & Solutions
At Periodontics & Implant Center, we offer a range of periodontal services designed to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to restore your gum health and prevent further complications with both non-surgical and surgical treatments.
Some of our specialized services include:
Gum Disease Treatment
Whether you’re in the early stages of gum disease or need advanced treatment, we have the right solutions for you:
- Non-Surgical Treatments: For early-stage gum disease, we offer scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the roots to help your gums heal.
- Surgical Treatments: For more severe cases, procedures like gingivectomy may be recommended to remove infected gum tissue and restore gum health.
LANAP Therapy
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment that targets and removes diseased tissue with a laser, leaving healthy tissue intact. This procedure offers faster healing times and less discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession exposes the sensitive roots of your teeth, leading to discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Our treatments are designed to restore the gum line and protect exposed roots, preventing further damage.
Tissue Grafting
If gum recession has progressed, we offer tissue grafting, using tissue from another part of your mouth to cover exposed roots. This helps reduce sensitivity and improve the appearance of your smile.
