Gum Surgery
Renewing Periodontal Health with Gum Surgery
Dr. Provines may recommend gum surgery to treat periodontal disease and restore dental well being. Gum surgery may sound extreme, but it is actually a conservative therapy to preserve oral health and prevent tooth extraction.
Removal of Bacteria and Diseased Tissue
Periodontal disease can cause gum tissue to loosen and form pockets that harbor bacteria. Dr. Provines can remove these disease-causing bacteria and extremely damaged tissue allowing you own body to regenerate new gum attachment and improved oral health.
Gum Grafts
Periodontal disease, and even aggressive brushing, can cause gums to recede. The result is an exposed tooth root and detached gun that can cause the area to be more susceptible to infection. In this scenario, patients may experience sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages. Dr. Provines performs gum grafts to encourage tissue growth and renew oral health. Because a gum graft can renew the gum line, your smile will be more attractive.
