Periodontics in Vista and San Diego

The term “periodontics” refers to the dental specialty that pertains to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease that affects the gums and jawbone.

The gum tissues serve to surround and support the teeth and the underlying jawbone anchors teeth firmly in place. Periodontists have completed several years of extra dental training and are concerned with maintaining the function, health and aesthetics of the jawbone and tissues.

There are several reasons why periodontal treatment may be necessary:

    Moderate/advanced gum disease – This occurs when the gums are bleeding, swollen or red around most teeth and the jawbone has begun to recede. Read More
    Localized gum recession – The infection that propagates moderate or advanced gum disease often begins in one area. Gum recession may also be caused by overbrushing with a hard bristle brush or a tooth that is not positioned properly. Immediate treatment is required to prevent further spreading.
    Before crown lengthening – The periodontist may lengthen the crown of the tooth by removing surrounding soft tissue to provide more tooth exposure.
    Ridge augmentation – This procedure, often called “recontouring,” may be required to correct an uneven gum line. Before embarking on treatment, a periodontist needs to treat any bacterial infections and periodontitis.

In the case of mild/moderate periodontal problems, the focus of the periodontist will be on curing the underlying bacterial infection and then providing advice on the most appropriate home cleaning methods.
