Periodontics at Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry

Keeping your gums healthy is essential to your overall dental health. At Platinum Smiles Family Dentistry, our periodontics services focus on the early detection, diagnosis, and management of gum disease and other periodontal conditions. Our Brentwood dentist, along with our general dentists, provides expert care to keep your gums and teeth healthy and functional. Here’s what we offer:

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

A deep cleaning technique called scaling and root planing treats gum disease and prevents its progression. During this surgical procedure, our general dentists or periodontist carefully clean your teeth and the area below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar. This process also addresses pocket reduction and helps alleviate oral inflammation, ensuring effective management of your gum health.

Root planing, which smooths the tooth roots, supports gum reattachment and healing. This treatment is essential for keeping your gums healthy, reducing inflammation, and preparing the area for procedures like dental implant placement if needed. Our dentist, who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, provides comprehensive dental care. If needed, we can refer you to a periodontist for advanced treatment of receding gums and other serious gum issues.

Periodontal Maintenance

For patients with a history of gum disease, periodontal maintenance is an ongoing care regimen. Regular appointments let us track your oral health and catch any early signs of gum disease. This state-of-the-art process typically includes professional cleanings, periodontal assessments, and tailored recommendations.

With our specialized training, we provide comprehensive care. If needed, we can refer you to a periodontist for advanced treatments, like gum grafts, to enhance gum health and address issues such as bad breath.
