Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of the most common conditions we treat at Advanced Periodontics of N.J. This condition ranges from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. It is often caused by poor oral hygiene, which allows plaque to build up on the teeth. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that become infected.
Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth. This can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. Our advanced treatments for gum disease include scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and medication. Scaling and root planing involve deep cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets and smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins.
Laser therapy is a minimally invasive option that uses focused light beams to remove infected tissue and promote healing. This technique reduces discomfort and speeds up recovery time. In some cases, we may also prescribe medications such as antimicrobial mouth rinses or oral antibiotics to help control bacterial infection and reduce inflammation. Our goal is to restore gum health and prevent further damage, ensuring you maintain a healthy, functional smile.
Dental Implants
Tooth loss can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, designed to look and function like natural teeth. At Advanced Periodontics of N.J., we specialize in dental implant procedures that offer stability and durability, improving both aesthetics and functionality. Implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root for the missing tooth.
The titanium post integrates with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a solid foundation for the artificial tooth, known as a crown. This integration helps prevent bone loss in the jaw, a common issue with missing teeth. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even support a full set of dentures with techniques like All-on-X implants. All-on-X provides a stable and aesthetic solution for individuals with significant tooth loss, using just a few implants to support a full arch of teeth.
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps, including a thorough evaluation, placement of the implant, and attachment of the crown. Our team uses advanced imaging technology to plan and execute each step with precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Dental implants offer a long-term solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth, helping you regain your confidence and improve your oral health.
Bone and Gum Grafting
Bone and gum grafting are essential procedures for patients with significant tissue loss due to gum disease, trauma, or other conditions. Bone grafting involves transplanting bone tissue to areas where bone has been lost, providing support for dental implants or enhancing the structural integrity of the jaw. This procedure is often necessary when there is insufficient bone density to support an implant. At Advanced Periodontics of N.J., we use various grafting materials, including autografts (from the patient’s body), allografts (from a donor), and synthetic options, depending on the individual’s needs.
Gum grafting, on the other hand, addresses issues of gum recession, where the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, exposing the roots. This can lead to increased sensitivity, risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns. Gum grafting procedures involve taking tissue from another part of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth, and attaching it to the affected area. This helps cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve the appearance of the gums and teeth.
Both bone and gum grafting procedures require careful planning and precision to ensure successful outcomes. Our experienced periodontists utilize the latest techniques and materials to promote healing and regeneration, providing patients with enhanced oral health and a stronger foundation for future dental work. These grafting procedures not only improve function and aesthetics but also play a crucial role in maintaining overall oral health.
