Periodontal Care in Coral Springs, FL

SRP (Scaling & Root Planing) – Scaling and Root Planning, or as others call it, deep Cleaning, is a nonsurgical treatment. Our dentist or hygienist will administer local anesthesia and then scrape the tartar off the surface of your teeth with an ultrasonic scaler (Cavitron). Once all of your teeth are cleaned, the infection will naturally go away in a few days. If the infection persists, our dentist will determine which advanced treatments you need.

Pocket Reduction – If the gum tissue doesn’t fit snugly against the teeth after SRP, the dentist might recommend pocket reduction or flap reduction surgery. The dentist will fold the excess gum tissue back to ensure the gum line is flush against the teeth, and there’s no pocket for the bacteria to settle in. 

Gum Grafts – If your gums keep receding, our dentist will perform gum grafts to protect the roots and keep the teeth in place. The graft tissue is taken from your palate and attached carefully to the receding gum line.
