About this treatment

Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and bone. Periodontists are trained to manage conditions that affect the health and stability of the teeth and surrounding tissues.

Common periodontal conditions treated by our team at Sumpurn Dental Care include:

  • 1.Gingivitis:Inflammation of the gums, often caused by poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup.
  • 2. Periodontitis:A bacterial infection that damages the gums, periodontal ligament, and bone, leading to tooth loss if left untreated.
  • 3. Gum recession: Exposed roots and sensitivity due to gum tissue loss.
  • 4. Periodontal pockets: Deep spaces between the teeth and gums that can harbor bacteria and lead to infection.

We perform a range of treatments to address these conditions, including:

  • 1.Scaling and root planing
  • 2.Gum grafting
  • 3.Bone grafting
  • 4.Periodontal maintenance

Our goals of periodontal treatment are to eliminate infection and inflammation, restore healthy gum and bone tissue, prevent tooth loss, improve overall oral health and aesthetics, and enhance chewing function and comfort.

If you're experiencing periodontal issues, kindly consult us to discuss your treatment options and create a personalized plan to restore your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment options depend on the severity of the disease. Non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing are commonly used to clean the gums and roots.
The duration of root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but it typically requires one to two appointments. Each session may last about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of the tooth and the number of canals that need treatment.
In many cases, a crown is recommended after root canal treatment to strengthen and protect the tooth. The tooth can become weaker after the pulp is removed, and a crown helps restore its function and appearance, ensuring long-term durability.
