Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a widespread infection that affects the gums and the underlying structures that support your teeth. In its early stages, it’s called gingivitis and is characterized by red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the infection spreads to the bone and tissues, leading to tooth loss and other serious health problems. At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we offer comprehensive periodontal treatment options to help you restore your gum health, save your teeth, and prevent further damage.
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by bacteria in plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. Early intervention with proper gum disease treatment is crucial to prevent the progression of this condition and avoid complications.
We offer a range of periodontal therapy options, tailored to the severity of your condition:
This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots to prevent further bacterial buildup. It’s often the first line of defense against periodontitis.
In some cases, antibiotics or antimicrobial mouth rinses may be recommended to help control infection and promote healing.
This surgical procedure involves lifting back the gums to remove tartar deposits and reshape the bone to reduce pocket depths, making it easier to clean and maintain your teeth and gums.
If bone loss has occurred due to periodontal disease, bone grafting procedures can help regenerate lost bone and support your teeth.
This procedure involves placing a special membrane between your gum tissue and bone to encourage the growth of new bone and tissue.
