One of the most prevalent concerns a periodontist will treat is periodontal diseases. It includes the bleeding or inflammation of the gums and if not taken care of, will lead to teeth loosening and extraction. Periodontal diseases are even known to have a close link to the development of severe health conditions such as heart disease. Additionally, Sunrise Periodontics treatment may also be referred to as the treatment of gum diseases.
Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a common dental concern that injures and damages the bone, jaw, and soft tissues surrounding the tooth. If left untreated, there will be a deterioration of the bone, resulting in insufficient bone structure to support the teeth. Thus, it is imperative that Sunrise periodontics treatment should be performed as soon as symptoms arise or persist.
Sunrise periodontics treatment may be performed in several ways – bone surgery, bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration, soft tissue grafts, and pocket reduction surgery or flap surgery. Bone surgery is done by smoothing out the shallow craters caused by drastic bone loss.
Through this process, bacteria that can easily reach the affected area may be eliminated or prevented. As for bone grafting, there is an installation of donated bone, synthetic bone, or fragments of your bone that serves as a replacement for the destroyed, damaged, or lost bone.
The process of placing a small piece of fabric between the gum tissue and teeth to allow the former to grow into the affected area is called guided tissue regeneration. According to experts in Sunrise periodontics, this process is performed together with pocket reduction surgery or flap surgery. As for the latter, it involves the smoothing out of irregular surfaces and removal of tartar.
Aside from regular dental cleanings to prevent gum disease, periodontists can also perform additional non-surgical dental treatments such as root planning and scaling. These treatments constitute a deeper cleaning method and often done under local anesthetic or other types of sedation.
