What are the different kinds of gum treatments?
At DFW Implant Team, the Bedford office of board-certified periodontist and dental implant specialist, Dr. Donald Steinberg, we provide gum treatment services and procedures in order to provide our patients with the oral health and smile they deserve.
CROWN LENGTHENING
We can remove excess gum tissue with a procedure called crown lengthening on 1 or more teeth for the aesthetic and restorative benefits.
ORAL CANCER EXAM
At our practice at DFW Implant Team, we can perform an oral cancer examination to detect for the signs of oral cancers and abnormal oral pathologies.
SCALING AND ROOT PLANING
With scaling and root planing, the periodontist will clean the area between the tooth and the gums in order to remove any bacteria that has collected.
FRENECTOMY
Some of our patients require the removal of the frenum under the lip (to better position the teeth), this surgery is called a frenectomy.
OSSEOUS SURGERY
Dr. Steinberg offers his patients the osseous surgery as it eliminates inflamed pockets formed on the gums to reduce tooth loss.
SOFT TISSUE ORAL BIOPSY
We accept referrals for oral biopsies. Detection of cancer or abnormal oral concerns are very important for your mouth and overall general health.
GUM GRAFTING
Soft tissue grafting will restore your lost gum tissue, recover exposed roots, and increase the thickness of the gums to prevent a recession.
ORAL PLASTIC SURGERY
Oral plastic surgery provides a way to cover unsightly exposed roots, correct uneven gum lines, lengthen short teeth, or improve gummy smiles.
