Unlock Healthy Gums
Periodontics at River City
Our periodontic services offer comprehensive care for diagnosing and treating gum-related issues, including routine cleanings, deep cleanings, and personalized treatments to restore and maintain optimal gum health.
Deep Cleanings
Periodontal deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, are non-surgical procedures aimed at treating gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots. This thorough cleaning helps to reduce inflammation, eliminate bacteria, and promote healing of the gums, ultimately restoring oral health and preventing further progression of gum disease.
- Reduces inflammation and swelling of the gums
- Eliminates bacteria that contribute to gum disease
- Removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline
Gum Disease Treatment
- Maintenance of overall health through a balanced diet and regular exercise
- Antibiotics or antimicrobial mouth rinses to control bacterial infection
- Regular dental visits for ongoing monitoring and treatment adjustments
Laser Gum Treatments
Laser gum treatments, also known as laser periodontal therapy, offer a minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease. Using focused laser energy, these procedures target and remove diseased tissue while promoting gum regeneration and sealing blood vessels to reduce bleeding and inflammation. Laser gum treatments provide faster healing times, less discomfort, and reduced risk of infection compared to traditional methods, ultimately restoring gum health and preserving the integrity of the smile.
- Minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease
- Lower risk of infection due to the sterilizing effect of the laser
- Precise targeting of diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums
Periodontal Maintenance
Periodontal maintenance involves regular dental visits and professional cleanings to manage gum disease and prevent its recurrence. These appointments typically occur every three to four months and include thorough cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gumline. Periodontal maintenance also involves monitoring gum health, providing personalized oral hygiene instructions, and addressing any concerns to ensure the long-term stability of the gums and teeth.
- Monitors gum health and detects any issues early
- Supports long-term stability of the gums and teeth
- Improves overall oral health and reduces the risk of systemic health issues associated with gum disease
