Periodontists Services We Serve in Lahore - Overview

Periodontists are dental specialists who receive additional training in the treatment of gum disease, which includes non-surgical procedures and periodontal plastic surgery. They are also experts in the placement and maintenance of dental implants. Their treatments range from scaling and root planing to soft tissue grafts, which are used to cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, or prevent further recession.

Education

Periodontics has been a recognised field of dentistry since the early 1900s, and is dedicated to the treatment of periodontal, or gum disease.

 

The procedures a periodontist does are:

  • Scaling and root planing
  • Pocket elimination surgery, to get access to the roots of teeth to remove bacteria, plaque and tartar
  • Regenerative periodontal treatment, to help ‘regrow’ the bone and gum attachment around teeth, damaged by periodontal disease
  • Crown lengthening, when a tooth is decayed or broken below the gum line to expose more of the tooth for a procedure
  •  
Periodontists often work with patients needing dental implants. They provide a fixed solution to replace missing teeth and improve support and stability of partial or complete dentures.
 

Some of the other treatments periodontists may do are:

  • Soft tissue grafts to cover the exposed roots of teeth, reduce tooth sensitivity and prevent additional recession and bone loss
  • Preservation of jawbone after extraction (socket preservation) which can minimise bone loss after tooth extraction and can provide a foundation for a future implant placement
  • Sinus augmentation, which is performed to increase the thin wall of bone between the maxillary sinus and the mouth
  • Peri-implant disease treatment for dental implants affected by gum disease
