If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, your Periodontist may recommend periodontal surgery. Periodontal surgery is required when the tissue around your teeth is unhealthy and cannot be repaired with non-surgical treatment. The following are examples of commonly prescribed periodontal surgical treatments.
If you have already lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, a dental implant may be an option for replacement. A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement method. For more on dental implants, please see the link below.
