Periodontics

Periodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with preventing and treating periodontitis, otherwise known as gum disease.

Here at Rosewood Dental Clinic, we can carry out advanced periodontal procedures, designed to halt the progression of gum disease, protect your gums and preserve your natural teeth. Whether you’re showing signs of the early onset of gum disease (gingivitis) or suffering from advanced gum disease (periodontitis), we can help to get the situation under control.

Periodontal treatment at Rosewood Dental Clinic: what’s involved?

It may be that you’re simply in need of a routine simple scale and polish to remove hard deposits, or you require more serious intervention like surgical periodontal treatment, recession coverage, gingival grafts and bone regeneration, which are techniques designed to help set you back on the path to healthy gums. Thanks to advancements in modern dentistry, these procedures are less invasive than ever, and our team are extremely versed in performing them with diligence and care.

Should we suspect you are suffering from periodontitis, (when your gums and supporting tooth structures are severely inflamed), we will devise a plan to address your unique case, which could involve one or multiple treatment techniques and close monitoring over a period of months.

A preventative approach to dentistry

It’s always our aim to educate patients and encourage them to take an interest in caring for their gums so that advanced gum disease becomes a thing of the past. Read more about our approach to preventative dentistry here.
