Periodontal Procedures

Problem:

Chronic periodontal infections produce localized bone destruction between and around the roots of the teeth.

Treatment:

Dr. Gordon performs bone regeneration surgery to re-establish tooth support through new bone growth.

Frequent maintenance and monitoring visits will help prevent recurrence of bone loss from active periodontal disease.

Your Health Benefits:

Periodontal pocket depths are reduced so the infection can be controlled and an increase in bone can support formerly loose teeth.

Your Risks With No Treatment:

Persistent infection because of bacterial growth in periodontal pockets.

Additional bone destruction around the teeth with further loosening of the teeth. and an increased risk of gum abscess and tooth loss.
