Gum Disease Treatment

Sarasota Periodontal Associates - periodontists near you

Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, affects nearly half of American adults and can lead to serious complications if untreated. Our board-certified periodontists use advanced techniques to treat gum disease effectively, such as:

Scaling and Root Planing: A non-surgical deep-cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, promoting gum healing.
Laser Therapy: Precise laser treatments target diseased tissue, reducing discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Pocket Reduction Surgery: For advanced periodontitis, this procedure reduces gum pocket depth to prevent bacterial buildup and protect tooth stability.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can impact your confidence and oral function. Our Sarasota dental implant specialists use state-of-the-art techniques to provide durable, natural-looking implants that restore your smile. The process includes:

Consultation and Planning: Advanced 3D imaging ensures precise implant placement tailored to your anatomy.
Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone, serving as a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Restoration: After osseointegration, a custom restoration is placed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Gum and Bone Grafting

Gum recession can expose tooth roots, leading to sensitivity, decay, and an uneven smile. Our periodontists near you perform gum grafting with precision to restore gum tissue and protect your teeth, improving both oral health and aesthetics for Sarasota residents.

Bone loss from gum disease or tooth loss can compromise your oral health. Our bone grafting procedures restore jawbone integrity, providing a strong foundation for dental implants or other restorative treatments.

Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery

A beautiful smile starts with healthy gums. Our cosmetic gum procedures, such as crown lengthening and soft-tissue grafting, enhance the appearance of your gums and teeth, creating a balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.

Sedation Dentistry

We understand dental procedures can cause anxiety. We offer oral and IV conscious sedation, as well as nitrous oxide, administered by certified anesthesiologists, to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience.
