GUM TREATMENT SERVICES IN SOUTH JERSEY

Periodontal diseases (gum diseases) are some of the most common infections in the United States. In fact, more than 75% of adults over age 35 have some form of periodontal disease. Allow the experts from Cumberland Periodontal Associates, P.A. in Vineland, New Jersey, to provide the comprehensive gum disease treatments you need to prevent further problems.

SCALING & ROOT PLANNING

One of the most effective gum disease treatments, scaling and root planing is a conservative, nonsurgical procedure that will reduce inflammation in the gums and help prevent further spread of the disease. During the procedure, we remove plaque and calculus (tartar), which is bacterial and the leading causes of gum disease, from the root surfaces of the teeth.

BONE GRAFTS

In some instances where substantial bone damage has occurred, a bone graft may be placed into the defect. The graft can add additional support to the teeth.

GUM GRAFTING PERIODONTAL PLASTIC SURGERY

Gum recession is the loss of gum tissue over the root surface. This causes the teeth to lose a natural defense against bacteria and trauma. A gum graft is a treatment that can correct this problem. We place a piece of gum tissue from the palate or an artificial piece of tissue on to the affected area to thicken the gum tissue, preventing further recession. In many cases, this can restore the gum tissues to their original levels before the recession occurred.

CROWN LENGTHENING

This procedure is used when there's inadequate tooth structure or decay below the gum line preventing a filling or crown from being placed. During the procedure, we remove tissue (gum and bone) from around the tooth, exposing more structure for the restoration.

EXTRACTIONS

It's always unfortunate, but sometime extractions are necessary. Whether it be for wisdom teeth or an infected tooth, you can count on Cumberland Periodontal Associates to extract safely and to make the procedure as painless as possible.
