Periodontal Treatments

Periodontic treatments are crucial for maintaining the health and integrity of your gums, the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated, including tooth loss and potential links to systemic health problems. At Modern Haus Dental, we are committed to providing comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease.

Periodontal Exams

We conduct thorough periodontal exams to assess gum health and identify early signs of gum disease by measuring gum pocket depths during routine cleanings to detect and/or address any developing issues.The Itero scan also helps us to track changes if you have gum recession.

Scaling and Root Planing

A “Deep Cleaning" is essential for removing built-up plaque and tartar beneath the gum line, areas that regular brushing and flossing can't reach. This specialized treatment involves two visits: one for the right side and another for the left side within 1-2 weeks of each other. This prevents bacteria from spreading and ensures a thorough clean. Don't compromise on your oral health – schedule your deep cleaning today!

Periodontal Maintenance

Once you complete your deep cleaning, you will go into maintenance mode where we bring you back every 3 - 4 months for periodontal maintenance. It is like a cleaning but goes a little deeper under the gum.
