Shrewsbury Gum Specialist
If you want to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy, you should come to our dental practice for dental cleanings. If you have been informed that you have gum problems, you will want to come and see our periodontist for periodontal treatments. It is important to see a
Shrewsbury gum specialist when you have mild to moderate gum disease; patients may also want to see a gum specialist on a preventive basis if they have had gum problems in the past.
At Quinsigamond Dental, we have two expert dentists on staff. Our general dentist is Dr. Jack Xu. He has been providing exemplary family dental services for more than 30 years. Our periodontist and implant specialist is Dr. Avi Shainhouse. When you need expert periodontal treatments, you will be able to receive them at our dental practice from our
Shrewsbury gum specialist. If it is determined that you have gingivitis, a precursor to gum disease, you will only need to have regular dental cleanings for several months to get your gums back on the road to good health. However, if it is determined that you have gum disease, you will want to see our Shrewsbury gum specialist for specialized treatments. Initially, you may need to have a scaling and root planing treatment. This treatment removes all the bacteria, tarter, plaque, and food debris from the deep pockets that have formed between your teeth and gums. You may also be treated at the same time for infection. This treatment can be either applied topically during scaling and root planing treatment, or it can be prescribed by our dentist as an oral medication.
At our dental practice, patients can have different types of periodontal treatments by our
Shrewsbury gum specialist. Aside from getting a scaling and root planing treatment, patients can also get bone graftings, periodontal plastic surgery, periodontal laser treatments, crown lengthening surgery, and dental implants. Dental implants are a very popular way to replace missing teeth because they look, feel, and function just like regular teeth. Dental implants can also be used to secure a patient’s dentures or removable bridges. For an appointment to meet with our gum specialist regarding getting your gums back to good health, or forgetting dental implants to replace missing teeth, contact us today. Gum problems will not go away by themselves, but expert treatment at our dental practice will be instrumental in helping your gums to become healthy once again.
