FAQs About Our Practice:

Will it hurt?
We aim for minimal discomfort during procedures, and most exams cause little to no pain.

Do I need x-rays?
Yes, current periodontal x-rays are essential for diagnosing unseen issues. We can use x-rays from your referring dentist if available.

What will it cost?
Costs vary depending on your treatment needs. An initial exam can provide an estimate, but more complex cases may require additional diagnostics before a final treatment plan.

Will my insurance cover the cost?
Many insurance plans cover periodontal treatment. We’ll submit claims for you if needed.

Will I need surgery?
Not all patients require surgery. Early intervention can often prevent the need for invasive procedures.

Can my teeth be saved?
Advances in periodontal care allow us to treat most teeth successfully.

When will I return to my general dentist?
We work closely with your dentist for follow-up care, such as crowns or fillings, and regular check-ups.

What if I don’t treat gum disease?
Untreated periodontal disease leads to bone loss and more costly treatments later. If left unchecked, it may result in tooth loss.

Who should see a periodontist?
If you have moderate to severe gum disease or are missing teeth, a periodontist can provide specialized care, including implants and gum recession treatments.

Do I need antibiotics for scaling and root planing?
Topical antibiotics may be recommended, depending on your condition. Discuss this with your periodontist.

What is the difference between plaque and calculus?
Plaque is a soft, sticky film that leads to gum disease. If not removed, it hardens into calculus, which requires professional cleaning to remove.

Can children get gum disease?
While rare, children should be educated on maintaining good oral hygiene to prevent future periodontal issues.

What else do periodontists do?
In addition to treating gum disease, periodontists perform implants, gum recession treatments, and collaborate with other specialists for comprehensive care.

What are the signs of gum disease?
Signs include swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and pain while chewing.

How can I prevent periodontal disease?
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are key to preventing gum disease.

Is periodontal disease genetic?
Genetics can play a role, but lifestyle factors like smoking and oral hygiene are also significant.

Who should treat my gum disease: my dentist or a periodontist?
For complex cases, a team approach with both your general dentist and periodontist ensures optimal care.

How often should I see a periodontist?
Your periodontist will recommend follow-up visits based on your condition, ranging from every few months to twice a year.

Is gum disease contagious?
Though not contagious, the bacteria that cause gum disease can spread through saliva. Avoid sharing oral care tools if someone in your household has gum disease.

Can I improve my smile if I have big gums and short teeth?
Yes, procedures like crown lengthening can help improve your smile by reshaping the gum line.

What are the consequences of missing teeth?
Missing teeth affect your appearance, speech, chewing ability, and self-confidence. Dental implants can restore both function and aesthetics.
