At Dentist of Montclair, we are committed to providing effective treatment options for periodontal disease tailored to your unique needs. We start with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, taking into account the specific severity of your condition, which can range from mild to moderate to severe.
Our experienced dentist conducts a thorough examination to assess the extent of your periodontal disease. This evaluation includes measuring gum pocket depths using specialized tools and analyzing your bite to assess how well your teeth fit together. We also utilize X-rays to uncover any concealed areas affected by the disease.
Periodontal disease can present in various forms, from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss and infections. Our dental practice offers a diverse range of treatment options to restore your oral health. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease.
Our dedicated dental team collaborates with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements. Periodontal treatment typically falls into two main categories: non-surgical and surgical.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
In the initial stages of addressing gum disease, non-surgical treatment is often recommended. This may involve deep teeth cleaning, also known as root scaling, to eliminate plaque and tartar below the gumline. In some cases, antibiotics, whether applied topically or taken internally, may be prescribed to aid in the healing process.
Surgical Periodontal Treatment
When gum loss is extensive, and tooth roots are exposed, surgical intervention may become necessary. One option is soft tissue grafting, where tissue, often obtained from the roof of the mouth, is grafted onto the area requiring additional gum tissue. Before finalizing a treatment plan, a comprehensive examination and X-ray evaluation will be conducted to assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and bone structure.
Effective periodontal treatment is essential for eliminating gum disease and restoring oral health. This may involve enhancing dental hygiene practices, adhering to prescribed medications, or undergoing surgical procedures. The cost of treatment will be determined by your specific needs, and we will provide a thorough cost breakdown and discuss payment plan options before commencing any treatment. Don't delay; take the first step toward a healthier smile by scheduling an appointment with us today.
The cost of periodontal treatment is individualized, considering factors such as the specific treatments required, the number of treatments, and insurance coverage. We will provide a detailed breakdown of costs and explore payment plan options once your personalized treatment plan has been developed.
