Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the structures surrounding and supporting the teeth, primarily the gums and bone. Periodontists are experts in treating gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.

• Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. We offer a range of treatments, from non-surgical options like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to surgical interventions, to eliminate infection and restore gum health.
• Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): At Envisage Dental Clinic, we utilize Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), a state-of-the-art approach to managing dental biofilm. GBT employs the latest AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technologies to remove biofilm in the most effective, minimally invasive, and comfortable manner possible. This evidence-based treatment is customized to each patient’s needs, ensuring optimal oral and systemic health. GBT is particularly effective in preventing caries, periodontal disease, and peri-implant infections, making it a game-changer in periodontal care.
• Gingival Grafting: Gum recession can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity, decay, and an unattractive smile. Gingival grafting involves taking tissue from another part of your mouth and attaching it to the affected area, covering the exposed roots and restoring a healthy gum line.
• Bone Grafting: Periodontal disease can cause bone loss around your teeth, jeopardizing their stability. Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds and regenerates lost bone, providing a strong foundation for your teeth or for future dental implants.
• Pocket Reduction Surgery: When periodontal disease causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, deep pockets can form, making it easier for bacteria to accumulate and worsen the condition. Pocket reduction surgery cleans out these pockets and secures the gums back against the teeth, preventing further damage.
• Crown Lengthening: Crown lengthening is a procedure that reshapes the gum tissue and bone to expose more of the tooth. This can be done for restorative reasons, such as preparing a tooth for a crown, or for cosmetic reasons, like correcting a “gummy” smile.
  Dental Implants: Periodontists are often involved in the placement of dental implants, particularly in cases where gum disease has affected the underlying bone. We ensure that the gums and bone are healthy and strong enough to support implants, providing a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
• Maintenance and Prevention: Regular periodontal maintenance is essential for keeping your gums healthy and preventing the recurrence of gum disease. We provide thorough cleanings and check-ups, along with personalized advice on maintaining optimal gum health at home.
