How are periodontal diseases treated?
Once your periodontal health has been evaluated, our doctors will work with you to determine the best treatment options to control your disease and bring you back to health. Treatment can very depending on how far the disease has progressed. If diagnosed and treated in the early stages, simple non-surgical periodontal therapy may be sufficient. If periodontitis has advanced to the point where the periodontal pockets are deep and significant amounts of bone are lost, surgical therapy may be necessary. Once periodontitis has been controlled, patients will require ongoing periodontal maintenance procedures to sustain health. Periodontal diseases are chronic diseases and without careful, ongoing oral maintenance, periodontal diseases can and often do occur.
