Periodontal Treatment - Wayne, NJ 

Periodontal Maintenance and Gum Surgery

Periodontal Treatments in Wayne, NJ

If you have been diagnosed with gum disease in Wayne, NJ your dentist may have recommended scaling and root planing or osseous gum surgery, followed by a stringent periodontal maintenance regimen. Depending on how far your gum disease in Wayne, NJ has advanced, you may be able to address periodontal disease with noninvasive treatment, or scaling and root planing therapy. However, gum surgery (or osseous surgery) may be required to treat the damage and help save the teeth if the condition has progressed to advanced stages.

Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning performed by a dental hygienist. Some patients require anesthetic for this procedure, as the hygienist will be cleaning both above and below the gums and on the roots of the teeth. Tartar and plaque deposits are removed, allowing for reattachment of the gum tissues to the teeth.

Osseous Surgery in Wayne, NJ

Osseous Gum Surgery

Osseous gum surgery may be necessary for patients who have advanced stages of periodontal disease, and for whom scaling and root planing will not likely be effective. During this procedure, the tissues are numbed and then retracted to allow access to the root surfaces and bone tissue. Any tartar is removed and bone irregularities caused by periodontal disease smoothed to allow for tissue reattachment. The treated sites are sutured and allowed to heal.

This procedure effectively helps to eliminate periodontal pockets, or the spaces between the teeth in which bacteria proliferate, enabling patients to better perform homecare techniques. It can also help to arrest the advancement of this progressive oral infection.
