Do I Need Periodontic Care?

It's normal to question whether periodontics is necessary and the right step for your smile. That's why our friendly and knowledgeable dental team is here to answer any questions you may have and help you make informed and confident oral health decisions. Periodontics, at its core, is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the health of your gums and the bone supporting your teeth. By preserving and protecting your gums and jawbone, you're able to live life to the fullest, including eating your favorite foods.

If you're unsure whether our Alexandria periodontic treatment services are right for you, some of their benefits include:

• Reducing Inflammation & Pain: When your gums are red and swollen from problems like infection, it can lead to pain that prevents you from focusing on the task ahead. Our talented dental team is here to keep your gums looking and feeling their finest by clearing away potentially harmful bacteria and tartar buildup.
• Preventing Tooth Loss: When your gums are compromised by conditions like gum disease, it can significantly increase your chances of tooth loss. That's why our dental team takes a proactive approach to periodontics. We'll work to improve the condition of your gums and protect them so that they can continue supporting your teeth.
• Enhancing Your Smile's Appearance: If the eyes are a portal to your soul, then your smile serves as a portal to your personality. That's why when your gums are affected by infection or damage, it can leave you feeling less than confident in flashing your smile. Our staff leverages extensive periodontic treatment to help keep your smile aesthetically pleasing.

Our Extensive Periodontic Offerings

At the heart of effective periodontic care are personalized treatment plans, which is why when you first visit our office, we'll work to create yours. Our dentist will begin by asking you various questions about your oral health and history. Do you have a family history of gum disease? Are you interested in permanently replacing one or more missing teeth? Are your gums causing you pain, and if so, how severe is the pain?

After you provide our team with answers, they'll work to take detailed x-ray images of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Finally, our dentist will present you with your customized Alexandria periodontic treatment plan. Your plan details everything from our recommended services to how we'll approach them. You can breathe easy knowing that we pair hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology, like fully computer-guided surgery, to benefit your smile. Some of the services contained in your plan may include:

• Dental Implant Placement: Dental implants provide patients from all walks of life with an accessible and permanent way to replace their missing teeth. The versatility of dental implants means that they can either replace a single tooth or an entire arch of teeth. However, not every dental practice offers placement. Our team can handle your extensive dental implant placement needs.
• Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts: When you have a weak or brittle jawbone, it increases your chances of tooth loss while making dental implant placement more difficult. That's why we proudly offer bone grafts and sinus lifts to reinforce and strengthen your jawbone. Although there are differences between the two, our team will help you decide which procedure is right for your smile.
• Tissue Grafts & Gingivectomies: If your smile has too much or too little gum tissue to support your teeth, our dental staff is here for you. As part of our Alexandria periodontic treatment services, we offer both tissue grafts and gingivitis. A tissue graft is where we take healthy gum tissue from one part of your smile and implant it elsewhere, whereas a gingivectomy removes damaged and decayed tissue.
• Tooth Extractions: Although one of our primary goals at Exquisite Dental Care is to save your natural teeth whenever possible, tooth extraction may be the right course of action for you. When you have a tooth that's been too severely impacted by trauma or decay, our team will skillfully extract your tooth and monitor the area to promote proper healing.
