Premier Dental of Carlisle

We understand that the health of your gums is as vital as the health of your teeth. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, can have significant effects not only on your oral health but your overall well-being. Our dedicated team of dental professionals is here to provide specialized periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease at its various stages.

Periodontal disease begins with the inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis, which, if left untreated, can progress to more serious conditions affecting the tissues and bones that support your teeth. Symptoms may include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and eventually, tooth loss. Our goal is to address these issues early on and restore your oral health through expert periodontal care.

Our Comprehensive Periodontal Treatments

Scaling and Root Planing

One of the most effective treatments for controlling periodontal disease is scaling and root planing. This deep-cleaning procedure goes beyond the typical dental cleaning to target the plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line. Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gums, while root planing smooths the root surfaces, discouraging further buildup of tartar and bacteria. This treatment is often recommended when there are signs of gum disease and is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.

Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance

After initial treatment, we place a strong emphasis on ongoing periodontal maintenance to prevent the progression of gum disease. This includes regular check-ups and cleaning sessions, tailored to manage the health of your gums. Our team provides you with personalized advice and strategies for at-home care that are essential in maintaining gum health and preventing future complications.

Advanced Periodontal Therapies

For cases where gum disease has advanced, we offer a range of treatments designed to restore gum health and function. These may include surgical interventions, such as gum grafts, pocket reduction procedures, and regenerative techniques designed to regenerate lost bone and tissue.
