Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation.
Subgingival curettage is a procedure that gently removes infected tissue from inside the gum pocket around the teeth. This treatment helps eliminate bacteria that cause inflammation and promotes the natural healing of the gums. Often performed with scaling and root planing, it helps reduce pocket depth and supports long-term periodontal health.
Oral inflammation is a common condition caused by bacteria that irritate the gums and surrounding tissues. At The Smile Doctor, we identify the source of inflammation early to help reduce redness, swelling, and bleeding. Treating oral inflammation supports healthier gums, lowers the risk of periodontal disease, and helps protect your long-term oral and overall health.
Gingival flap surgery with root planing is an advanced periodontal procedure where gum tissue is gently lifted to access deep infection, thoroughly clean tooth roots, reduce pocket depth, and support long-term gum health.
Bone replacement grafting is a regenerative dental procedure that restores lost jawbone using biocompatible materials, supporting natural bone growth, stabilizing teeth, and creating a strong foundation for implants and long-term oral health.
