Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a serious bacterial infection that
destroys the fibers, connective tissue and supporting bone that hold
your teeth in your mouth. Left untreated, these diseases can lead to
tooth loss. There are numerous types and levels of periodontal disease requiring different treatment approaches. Most of the time, the treatment required to control periodontal disease involves much more than just a teeth
cleaning.
Periodontal treatment can also improve the esthetics of the patient
gums and teeth. Gum reshaping procedures and techniques to replace
missing gum and bone are now possible.
