PERIODONTICS

Rejuvenate Your Gum Health

In some cases, patients experience gum inflammation and redness beyond occasional irritation. If Dr. Roberson diagnoses you with gum disease, we suggest you visit us for periodontics immediately, so we may quickly guide you back toward comfortable, health gums.
When you don’t treat periodontal disease soon enough, and it becomes a big enough problem to destroy your gum tissues, the infection can keep going until it reaches your jawbone. Along with your gum tissues, your jawbone comprises much of the support that your teeth rely on to bite and chew. Because of how it attacks, severe periodontal disease (periodontitis) is the main cause of adult tooth loss, and treatment may include fortifying your jawbone to replace the teeth that you’ve lost.

The Need for Bone Grafting

A jawbone graft involves utilizing bone from a donor source (usually from another part of your upper or lower jaw) and grafting it to a weaker section of the jaw. Patients who lose teeth to gum disease can have a significantly weaker bone structure at the site of tooth loss. If necessary, a graft can help strengthen it to support a dental implant or other tooth replacement option, and to promote faster healing of the gum tissues.
