Periodontal Disease Stages and Treatments
Gingivitis
The earliest stage of gum disease is characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. Our dental team utilizes professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup and provide comprehensive oral hygiene guidance. By addressing gingivitis promptly, we can prevent it from progressing to more severe stages.
Periodontitis
As gum disease advances, it can cause irreversible damage to the bone and tissues supporting the teeth. Our treatments for periodontitis include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes bacteria and tartar from below the gum line. Additionally, we may recommend antimicrobial therapy to control infection and promote healing. In advanced cases, we may perform pocket reduction surgery to restore gum health and prevent further deterioration.
Advanced Periodontitis
At this severe stage, teeth can become loose or even fall out due to extensive damage to the supporting structures. Our advanced periodontics services in Lubbock, TX, focus on restoring functionality and aesthetics. We offer regenerative procedures, such as bone grafting and tissue regeneration, to stimulate new bone and tissue growth. Additionally, we specialize in gum grafting to address gum recession and provide a stable foundation for dental implants, enabling you to regain a healthy smile.
