Within our office, several of the doctors have trained in the art of periodontal surgery and offer certain procedures to our patients.
These include (but are not limited to)
- Gingival Graft Procedures
- Tissue Augmentation
- Open Curettage
- Gingivectomy
- Periodontal Flap Procedures
- Limited Osseous Surgery
- Limited Osseous Grafting
These procedures can comfortably be performed for our patients using special local anesthetics, Nitrous–oxide analgesia and when warranted an oral sedative or relaxant. Most of our patients experience very little discomfort after our procedures. For those that do have discomfort, a medication prescription will be given.
Occasionally, our Doctors may decide that the necessary course of treatment be performed by a Periodontist. When this occurs, we have established relations with an exceptional group of periodontal specialists to whom we can refer our patients.
Periodontal surgery is always a treatment of last resort for periodontal disease. We encourage our patients to practice routine preventive care to avoid periodontal disease entirely.
If you wish any other information or to schedule a periodontal evaluation please contact us at (440) 461-8200 or via E-mail at smiles@wholelifedentistry.com
