Are you experiencing the signs and symptoms of gum inflammation or periodontal disease? Left untreated, gum disease can have serious effects on your oral health and overall well-being. Gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss can occur without proper treatment, so maintaining your regular preventive appointments is essential!
At Florham Park Smile Lounge, our team can prevent gum disease from compromising your smile through a variety of periodontal treatments, including deep cleanings, laser therapy, and gentle oral surgery. We use state-of-the-art tools and the latest techniques to deliver top periodontal treatment in Florham Park, NJ, and beyond.
Our periodontal treatments include:
Scaling and Root Planing
Our team offers gentle scaling and root planing procedures for a deep clean of the gums. Often the first step in addressing the symptoms of periodontal disease, scaling and root planing is an effective way to clear bacteria from the gums in its earliest stages.
Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy
Laser dentistry has revolutionized the way in periodontal surgery is performed. At Florham Park Smile Lounge, our soft-tissue Gemini laser utilizes a highly focused beam of light to perform a wide variety of treatments and can be used in place of more invasive methods for more comfortable procedures and faster recoveries.
Crown Lengthening
For patients who are concerned about the appearance of a "gummy smile" and ready to change the shape of your gums, improve gum tissue, or prepare for tooth restoration, the crown lengthening procedure does it all. Crown lengthening serves cosmetic purposes by eliminating excess gum tissue around the teeth, providing a beautiful, balanced smile. This procedure may also be performed as a medical necessity, to prepare a damaged tooth for a dental crown.
Pocket Reduction Surgery
Advanced gum disease can lead to adverse symptoms including tooth loss. At Florham Park Smile Lounge, we can halt the progression of advanced gum disease with pocket reduction surgery. This surgery removes bacteria between the gums and tooth root, removing the need for more complicated procedures down the line.
If you are at risk due to advanced periodontal disease and want to save your teeth, pocket reduction surgery can restore your oral health.
