  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Smoking or tobacco use

Periodontal Therapy Options

At Stony Hill Dental Care, we offer a variety of periodontal therapy options tailored to your needs:

Scaling and Root Planing

This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line, smoothing the roots to help gums reattach to the teeth.

Gum Graft Surgery

For cases of severe gum recession, gum grafts help cover exposed roots and reduce further recession and bone loss.

Laser Treatment

Laser therapy can be used to remove diseased gum tissue and promote healing.

Regenerative Procedures

These procedures aim to regenerate lost bone and tissue supporting the teeth.

Post-Treatment Care

Post-treatment care is vital for lasting results:

  • Aftercare: Follow specific oral hygiene instructions from Dr. Kostrzewski to keep periodontal disease away.
  • Visit Us: Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings. We’ll keep an eye out for any signs of returning disease, and ensure you experience optimal healing.
  • Oral Hygiene: Adopt a healthy lifestyle to support oral health. Keeping up with brushing, flossing, and antiseptic mouthwash can prevent the return of periodontal disease.
