Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment

Defeat Gum Disease Painlessly

Many patients often think the main reason for missing teeth is decay, but it is gum disease! Our doctors use a very effective antibiotic called ARESTIN™ that fights the infection painlessly. This medicine comes in powder form and is time-released to effectively and continuously kill the bacteria. It is applied in the areas between the gums and teeth and together with improved hygiene can reverse the problem.

What’s So Bad About Losing a Tooth?

The two common reasons people lose a tooth are periodontal (gum) disease and decay. Even though you won’t die because you are missing a tooth, it can have an effect on other teeth, as they will start to shift, move, or loosen. This affects your ability to chew properly and obtain vital nutrients from your food. It can become more difficult to chew, and you may start to eat softer, less natural foods that result in weight gain. Your speech may not be as clear as with a full set of teeth. Your face may take on a “sunken” look, making you look older than you are. We can replace one or many missing teeth with dental implants. They look very natural and function just like a real tooth, and they will return your confidence with a great smile.
