Healthy gums are at the foundation of a healthy smile. At Bronxville Family Dental, we offer comprehensive periodontal (gum) treatments to address gum disease and help you maintain optimal oral health. Gum disease, an infection of the gums and bone supporting your teeth, can lead to serious issues if left untreated, including tooth loss. Our experienced team provides personalized care to manage and treat various stages of periodontal disease.
We offer advanced, minimally invasive treatment options, including:
Comprehensive Periodontal Exams
At Bronxville Family Dental, comprehensive periodontal exams are a vital part of maintaining your oral health, going beyond just checking your teeth to assess the health of your gums and supporting bone structures. During each thorough periodontal evaluation, our skilled hygienists and dental team will carefully examine your gums for signs of inflammation, redness, swelling, or bleeding, and meticulously measure the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gums, which are key indicators of periodontal disease.
Our team may also digital utilize X-rays to assess any underlying bone loss. This detailed assessment allows us to detect early signs of gum disease, enabling timely intervention with personalized treatment plans to help you maintain healthy gums, prevent tooth loss, and ensure a strong foundation for a lifetime of confident smiles.
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
For our patients experiencing gum recession, the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™) offers a scalpel-free and suture-free way to restore gum tissue. This minimally invasive procedure involves making a small pinhole in the gum tissue, through which specialized instruments gently loosen and reposition the existing gum tissue to cover the exposed tooth roots. Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation can improve the aesthetics of your smile, reduce sensitivity, and protect your teeth.
Gingivectomy
A gingivectomy is a surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue. This may be necessary to treat gum disease by eliminating deep pockets where bacteria can thrive, or for cosmetic reasons to reshape the gum line and improve the appearance of your smile. Our team performs gingivectomies with precision and care to ensure optimal comfort and healing.
