What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal care plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health and preventing serious complications such as tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, and systemic health conditions linked to gum disease.
At Aurora Dental Care, we believe that a healthy smile starts with healthy gums. Our periodontal services in Seattle are designed to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease at every stage. Whether you need a routine gum evaluation or advanced treatment for periodontitis, our experienced team is here to provide expert, compassionate care.
Signs of Gum Disease:
Gum disease often develops silently, but early detection is key. You may need periodontal treatment if you notice:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
- Receding gums or teeth that appear longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in your bite or dental alignment
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with us today.
Our Periodontal Services:
At Aurora Dental Care, we offer a full range of periodontal services tailored to your specific needs:
Gum Disease Treatment
From gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, we offer nonsurgical and surgical options to control infection and restore gum health. Treatments may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), localized antibiotic therapy, and more advanced procedures as needed.
Scaling and Root Planing
This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach to the teeth. It’s often the first line of defense against gum disease.
Periodontal Maintenance
Once gum disease is under control, ongoing maintenance visits every 3–4 months help prevent relapse. These visits include thorough cleanings and monitoring to keep your gums healthy over the long term.
Gum Grafting
If gum recession has occurred, gum grafting can restore lost tissue, protect tooth roots, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Bone Grafting
In cases of bone loss due to advanced gum disease, we may recommend bone grafting to rebuild the jawbone and support future dental restorations, such as implants.
