Why Gum & Bone Repair Is ImportantÂ
Your teeth need healthy gums and strong bone for support. When gum disease damages these areas, treatment is needed to:
- Stop infection
- Save natural teeth
- Rebuild lost bone
- Improve your smile
- Protect your overall health
Our Gum & Bone Repair ServicesÂ
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
The first step toward healing your gums from the effects of gum disease is typically a deep cleaning, known as scaling & root planning. This treatment removes bacteria and plaque below the gumline. It helps your gums heal and reattach to your teeth.
Gum Surgery
If the infection is deep, we may gently lift the gums to clean the area and remove damaged tissue. This helps stop the disease from spreading.
Bone Grafting
When bone has been lost, we can add special grafting material to help rebuild it. Over time, your body replaces the graft with new, healthy bone.
Gum Grafting
If your gums have pulled away from your teeth, we can cover exposed roots. This protects your teeth and improves the look of your smile.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
This treatment helps your body regrow bone and tissue that were lost to gum disease.
