Periodontic Dentistry
Gingivitis
Gingivitis is an inflammatory condition of the gingiva caused by factors including smoking, certain drugs and hormonal changes that occur in puberty and pregnancy.
Periodontitis
Periodontitis follows with the destruction of the supporting structure of the teeth and is influenced by factors including the individual’s immune and inflammatory response. It is initiated by microbial plaque.Periodontitis, if left untreated, can causes tooth loss, mouth odor, bad breath or halitosis.
Types of Periodontal Treatments
Scaling and root planning are one of the peridontal techniques used to deep clean and treat gums affected by gingivitis and periodontosis.
Aesthetic and Gingivectomy is commonly done to improve the gum contour in harmonizing the appearance of the natural or prosthetic dentition giving more symmetry.
Gum recession refers to receeding gumline. Gingival grafts or periodontal plastic surgery can be done to creat a thick, tough gum tissue called “attached gingiva” which will prevent further recession or in some cases cover the existing recession.
Esthetic periodontal surgery is usually performed to change the dimension of the front teeth and to optimize the esthetic outcome of treatment with new crown restorations or other esthetic dental care.
Dr. Kumar took the time to explain how my new permanent retainers would look like and answered all my questions without rushing. He and his team of dentists did a fantastic job with my retainers and completed the procedure in record time.The procedure itself was smooth and painless, and I appreciated the follow-up care instructions. I left feeling confident about my dental health and the care I received.
The office itself is modern and clean, which added to my comfort and the staff offered me tea while waiting for Dr. Kumar to be done with earlier patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Sharad Kumar for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dentist!
