Periodontics

Periodontics

Periodontics is the type of dental treatment that cares for all the structures around your teeth, such as the gums, connective tissue and bone which support your teeth. Dr. Khandwala has the skills and experience to treat problems in these structures. 


Addressing periodontal problems is referred to as Periodontal Maintenance Therapy (PMT). Maintaining healthy gums is vital to support the health of your teeth. Below are some of the most common types of PMT offered in our practice. 

  • Scaling and Root Planing

    If loose pockets have formed around teeth, we can tighten them with scaling and root planing. First, we clean away tartar that accumulated below the gumline, then we smooth away any rough spots on the roots where bacteria might gather. 

  • Pocket Irrigation and Reduction Surgery

    We can wash away pockets of bacteria with pocket irrigation and, when needed, reduce the size of pockets with a surgical procedure. In every procedure, your comfort is very important to us. We will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible when we provide your care.

  • Crown Lengthening

    Some patients are unhappy with their appearance because their teeth look small. That’s because their gums cover too much of the teeth. We can correct their appearance by trimming their gums back. By using a laser for this surgery, there is very little discomfort and healing is much faster.
