What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It starts as gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to severe damage to the gums and bone, potentially resulting in tooth loss. Symptoms include persistent bad breath, loose teeth, and receding gums.
Our Expertise
At Columbia Periodontal Associates, our team of experienced periodontists is dedicated to providing comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs. Our specialists are trained in the latest techniques and use cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat periodontal disease effectively.
Diagnostic Excellence
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. We utilize digital radiography, 3D imaging, and periodontal probing to assess the health of your gums and bone. These advanced diagnostic tools allow us to detect issues early, ensuring timely and appropriate intervention.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Each patient is unique, and so is our approach to treatment. Based on the severity of your condition and your overall health, we develop a personalized treatment plan designed to restore your periodontal health and prevent future problems.
Non-Surgical Treatments
For early stages of periodontal disease, we offer non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing. This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothens the tooth root surfaces, helping gums reattach to the teeth. We also provide antimicrobial therapy to reduce bacterial infection.
Surgical Treatments
For more advanced cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our periodontists are skilled in a range of surgical procedures, including:
Pocket Reduction Surgery: This procedure cleans the infected gum pockets and reduces their depth, making them easier to clean and maintain.
Regenerative Procedures: To restore lost bone and tissue, we perform bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration, and the use of biocompatible membranes.
Gum Grafts: To address gum recession, we offer soft tissue grafts that cover exposed roots and improve the appearance of your smile.
Dental Implants
In addition to periodontal treatments, we specialize in dental implant placement. Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth, providing stability and a natural appearance. Our expertise in both periodontics and implantology ensures that the underlying gum and bone health is optimized for implant success.
Patient-Centered Care
At Columbia Periodontal Associates, patient comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We understand that dental procedures can be intimidating, so we strive to create a relaxing and welcoming environment. Our team takes the time to explain each step of the process, answer your questions, and address any concerns you may have.
Education and Prevention
Prevention is a key component of our practice. We educate our patients on the importance of good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups to maintain healthy gums. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to prevent periodontal disease and enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
