Specialized Gum Care
Your gums do more than just hold your teeth in place—they are essential to your overall oral health. Sadly, they can easily suffer from plaque buildup and bacteria that naturally occur in our smiles. With specialized periodontics in Davie, FL, we help prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease to help you maintain a strong, healthy, and pain-free smile.
From early-stage gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis, our gentle, personalized care will help you manage this condition effectively.
Why Gum Health Matters
Gum disease is one of the most common—and most overlooked—dental conditions. It often starts silently, with symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, or mild tenderness. However, if it isn't addressed early on, it can progress, leading to gum recession, tooth loss, and even putting your entire body at risk.
Periodontal care is especially important for older adults, who may be managing diabetes, heart conditions, or medications that impact gum health.
If you’re beginning to notice early signs of gum irritation, you may benefit from a targeted approach like periodontal therapy, which focuses on deep cleaning and infection control.
Stop Gum Disease Before It Starts with LANAP Laser Periodontal Therapy
The LANAP protocol is a minimally invasive laser treatment for periodontal disease. Unlike traditional periodontal treatments, this method helps avoid cutting and stitching of the gums. As a result, patients usually have minimal postoperative discomfort.
The process:
- A tiny laser fiber (about the thickness of three human hairs) is inserted between the tooth and the gum.
- The infection and disease are cleared away without cutting the gums.
- The tooth roots are then thoroughly cleaned of tartar and plaque.
- The laser is used again with a different setting to create a stable, firm fibrin blood clot to seal the pocket.
This results in quicker healing times, less discomfort, and shorter treatments!
Say Goodbye to Sensitivity Caused by Gum Recession through the Pinhole Technique for Gum Rejuvenation
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) is a minimally invasive treatment option that reverses gingival recession without the need for grafting or sutures. Specialized instruments are used to create a small hole in your gum and insert collagen material, which helps stabilize the area of gum recession.
Unlike traditional gum grafting for receding gums, this new method is simple, suture-free, and minimally invasive!
*PST™ was developed and patented by John Chao, D.D.S.
Enjoy Ongoing Support for Lasting Health with Periodontal Maintenance for the Whole Family
After gum disease has been treated, ongoing maintenance is essential. We’ll schedule regular cleanings and checkups—typically every 3 to 4 months, depending on your age—to monitor your progress, remove new buildup, and maintain your gum health.
Children, especially those undergoing orthodontic treatments, are also prone to gum disease. We personalize our treatment to our younger patients, supporting them with a gentle and educational approach.
