What Are Periodontal Treatments?

Our periodontal treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your gum health to identify any signs of gum disease. Utilizing the latest techniques and technology, Dr. Hirschfield and our skilled dental team provide targeted treatments aimed at reducing infection, promoting gum reattachment, and preventing future disease. Our goal is to address the root cause of periodontal issues, ensuring lasting oral health.

Our Periodontal Treatment Options Include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing:
    This deep cleaning treatment removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line, helping to reduce pocket depths and heal gum tissue.
  • Antibiotic Therapy:
    We use Arestin®, a locally applied antibiotic, to effectively combat infection directly at the source of gum disease.
  • Laser Therapy:
    For more advanced cases, we utilize laser therapy to remove diseased tissue and promote regeneration of healthy gums.
  • Gum Graft Surgery:
    If necessary, we perform gum grafts to cover exposed roots and reduce further gum recession.
  • Regular Maintenance and Check-ups:
    Following treatment, regular visits are crucial to maintain gum health and prevent recurrence.
