Periodontal Gum Disease
Periodontal Services & Gum Disease Treatments
Periodontics is the area of dentistry focused on the health and preservation of your gums, bones, and other facial structures that support your teeth. Damaged or infected teeth and gums can often lead to more serious concerns, such as gum disease, a leading cause of adult tooth loss.
At Dental Group of Las Vegas, our network of experienced dentists in Las Vegas, NV is certified in all standard and advanced areas of dentistry, including periodontal gum disease prevention. Our dental team takes your periodontal care very seriously and has the expertise you need to keep your smile in the best condition.
Learn & Observe the Symptoms of Gum Disease
Early diagnosis and treatment will help prevent the progression of gum disease, which first forms as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums that can be caused by poor oral hygiene and lifestyle factors. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss and significant oral health issues.
If you’re experiencing any common symptoms of gum disease such as red, tender, or swollen gums, receding gums, loose or shifting teeth, persistent bad breath, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, it’s essential to seek professional dental treatment as soon as possible.
Fight Off Periodontal Gum Disease
Our four convenient dental clinics in Las Vegas offer a full range of periodontal treatments designed to help patients like you overcome gum disease:
Scaling refers to removing plaque and tartar surrounding the gumline, while root planing smooths out your teeth’s roots, allowing your gums to rejoin quickly with your teeth.
Depending on the severity of the disease, a surgical procedure may be necessary to remove damaged or infected tissue and reshape the gums.
The pocket reduction procedure removes harmful bacteria and infection from the surrounding areas between your gums and teeth.
Gingival grafting is a surgical procedure that adds tissue to the gums to improve oral health.
Bone grafting is a technique that replaces lost or damaged bone tissue in the jawline.
Routine check-ups and ongoing cleanings help maintain an optimal level of health of your gums.
