Gum Disease Treatment
At Sai Dental Clinic, we recognize the critical role that healthy gums play in maintaining overall oral health. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can lead to serious dental issues if left untreated. Our comprehensive gum disease treatments are designed to address and manage gum disease at every stage, ensuring that your gums remain healthy and your smile stays beautiful.
Our Gum Disease Treatments
- Scaling and Root Planing
A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line, smoothing the tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal. This is often the first step in managing gum disease. - Gum Surgery
For more advanced cases, we perform surgical procedures to reduce gum pockets, remove damaged tissue, and restore gum health. Techniques may include flap surgery or gum grafting, depending on the severity of the disease. - Laser Therapy
A minimally invasive treatment that uses laser technology to remove infected tissue and promote gum tissue regeneration. Laser therapy can be a precise and effective way to treat gum disease with less discomfort and a faster recovery time.
- Periodontal Maintenance
After initial treatment, we provide ongoing care to prevent recurrence of gum disease. This includes regular cleanings, monitoring of gum health, and personalized advice on maintaining optimal oral hygiene.
