Crown lengthening

When a patient is recommended crown lengthening, it may be purely for aesthetics. This helps to get rid of a heavy gum. When a general dentist recommends a patient to see the periodontist for crown lengthening, it is usually for another reason. It is often because the decay on the tooth is too close to the bone level. The bone needs to be shaved down to seat a crown flushly. Periodontics Dentistry can assist with this procedure.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous Surgery is one of the most traditional ways of treating periodontal disease. It is when you have such deep pockets that a patient’s teeth are on the brink of being lost. The periodontist makes an incision to flap down the gums. Then, they clean out all the debridement and place multiple bone grafts as the flap is open. Periodontics Dentistry often employs this method for severe cases.

Tissue Grafts

Tissue grafting can be used to place natural gum from the roof of a patient’s mouth on the lingual part of the mouth. This helps regain gum in the area of the recession. At times, Periodontics Dentistry involves such advanced techniques.

Bone graft

Bone grafts are placed to regain bone in areas where you’ve lost a tooth. This is necessary to place an implant. Bone grafts are always a combination of bone from a cadaver and a membrane. This prevents the bone from growing into the bone cavity. The grafts are always placed under the gum line. Periodontics Dentistry may include bone grafts as part of comprehensive care.

Arestin

Arestin is an antibiotic agent that works excellently with deep cleaning. When a patient has a deep pocket, it is placed between the gum and the tooth. This occurs where the recession is quite severe. The agent will attach the gum back to the tooth after there has been heavy decay in the area during Periodontics treatment.
