We'll Put Together A Personal Treatment Plan For You

Depending on your personal periodontal treatment needs, Dr. Wong will create a treatment plan for you. We offer the latest and most effective treatments for periodontal disease. View some of these treatments and their descriptions below:

Periodontal Maintenance

Periodontal disease progresses as space between the tooth and gums gets filled with bacteria, plaque, and tartar, causing irritation to the surrounding tissues. When these irritants remain in the pocket space, they can cause damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports the teeth. Periodontal treatment methods depend upon the type and severity of the disease. Dr. Wong evaluates each patient for periodontal disease, recommending customized treatment plans.

Scaling and Root Planing

If periodontal disease has progressed to a more advanced stage, Dr. Wong may recommend a special periodontal cleaning known as scaling and root planing. In this procedure, tartar, plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line and rough spots on root surfaces are made smooth, helping to heal gum tissue.

Gingevectomy

If the pockets between the teeth and gums do not heal after scaling and root planing, a gingevectomy may be required to restore dental health. This procedure reduces pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean and prevent the build-up of bacteria.

Gum Grafting

If gum tissue has pulled away from the teeth due to the progression of periodontal disease, Dr. Wong may need to perform a gum graft. This procedure restores gum tissue, helping to protect the teeth from further gum recession.

Bone Grafting

If periodontal disease has caused bone loss, Dr. Wong can provide a bone grafting procedure to help regenerate jaw bone. This kind of restorative dentistry is often used to prepare patients for dental implants.

Ridge Augmentation

If one or more teeth have been lost due to gum disease, small indentations may develop. A ridge augmentation fills in these indentations and helps patients qualify for dental restorations.

Ridge Preservation

A Ridge Preservation procedure is a type of bone grafting that places regenerative material in the sockets that hold teeth and rebuilds the bone after a tooth extraction.

Sinus Augmentation

Tooth loss can affect the bone density of the mouth located near the sinus cavities. With a sinus augmentation, bone strong enough for dental implants and restorative restorations can develop.

Sinus Lift

When back teeth need to be extracted and replaced by dental implants, a sinus lift replaces supportive bone structures in the back of the mouth. This bone replacement allows Dr. Wong to precisely place dental implants.

Immediate Load Dental Implants

For patients who want the convenience of dental implants without the long healing process, Dr. Wong provides Immediate Load Dental Implants. This alternative to traditional implants is also known as "same day implants," and is available for patients who qualify.
