Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Have you ever noticed your gums bleeding when you brush or floss? Are your teeth starting to look longer, or has bad breath become a constant concern? These symptoms could be signs of gum disease, a serious but treatable condition that affects millions of Americans.
At Parkway Smiles Dentistry, we focus on restoring and preserving your gum health with advanced periodontics in Woodbridge. Our proficient team provides personalized solutions to address periodontal issues, ensuring optimal oral well-being.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum diseases. A periodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training who manages complex gum issues, from early gingivitis to more severe periodontal diseases. These oral problems can impact the bone and connective tissues supporting your teeth.
Keeping your gums healthy is essential for a durable and confident smile. Left untreated, periodontal issues can lead to bone loss, tooth mobility, and even systemic health complications.
Periodontic Services Available at Our Practice
Our team provides personalized care customized to your unique needs. We offer a comprehensive range of services to restore and maintain your gum health:
Bone Grafting
Periodontal disease can affect the bone that supports your teeth. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure using bone material (from a donor, synthetic source, or even from another part of your body) to regenerate lost bone. This provides a stable foundation for your teeth and prevents further bone loss. This is critical in preserving your natural smile and preparing for future dental implants.
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
We use this advanced surgical procedure to encourage bone and gum tissue regeneration. A biocompatible membrane is placed between the gum and bone to allow targeted regrowth of supporting tissues. This advanced method preserves the integrity of your smile and reduces the risk of tooth loss.
