At Matheson Dentistry & Implant Center in Queen Creek, we are committed to providing comprehensive periodontal care to help you maintain healthy gums and a strong foundation for your teeth. Periodontics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and the placement of dental implants.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the structures supporting and surrounding the teeth, primarily the gums and bone. Healthy gums are crucial for overall oral health, as they provide support and protection for your teeth. Periodontal disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.
Our Periodontal Services in Queen Creek Include:
Periodontal Exams and Diagnosis
- Comprehensive Assessment: During your initial periodontal exam, our experienced periodontists will thoroughly examine your gums, teeth, and jawbone. This assessment includes measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth and checking for signs of inflammation or infection.
- Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We use advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and periodontal probing, to accurately assess the health of your gums and the supporting bone structure.
Scaling and Root Planing
- Deep Cleaning: Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. This treatment helps to eliminate bacteria and toxins that cause inflammation and infection.
- Smoothing Root Surfaces: During the procedure, we smooth the root surfaces of your teeth to prevent future plaque buildup and promote the reattachment of healthy gum tissue.
Gum Grafting
- Receding Gums Treatment: If you have receding gums, gum grafting can help restore the gum tissue and protect the roots of your teeth. This procedure involves taking healthy tissue from another part of your mouth (or using donor tissue) and grafting it to the affected area.
- Enhanced Aesthetics and Function: Gum grafting improves the appearance of your smile and the function and health of your gums.
Periodontal Surgery
- Pocket Reduction Surgery: For advanced cases of periodontal disease, pocket reduction surgery may be necessary. This procedure involves folding the gum tissue to remove bacteria and tartar before securing the tissue back in place. It helps reduce pocket depth and prevent further infection.
- Regenerative Procedures: When bone and tissue have been lost due to periodontal disease, regenerative procedures such as bone grafts, tissue grafts, and guided tissue regeneration can help restore the supporting structures of teeth.
Dental Implants
- Permanent Tooth Replacement: Dental implants offer a permanent solution if you have lost teeth due to periodontal disease or other reasons. Our periodontists in Queen Creek are experts in placing dental implants, which provide a stable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
- Comprehensive Implant Care: We provide comprehensive care to ensure the success of your dental implants, from the initial consultation and planning to the placement and maintenance.
Maintenance and Follow-Up Care
- Regular Cleanings and Check-Ups: Maintaining healthy gums requires ongoing care. We provide regular cleanings and check-ups to monitor your periodontal health and address any issues promptly.
- Personalized Care Plans: Each patient receives a personalized care plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. We work with you to develop a maintenance routine that supports long-term oral health.
