These procedures provide you with a healthy, beautiful smile, and are performed in an atmosphere that offers maximum comfort to you.

What is Gum Disease?

Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth) causes the gums to become inflamed. (courtesy AAP)
Periodontal DiseaseGum disease can often be managed through regular non-surgical treatments that remove plaque and treat gingivitis. However, if the disease is too advanced for just a deep cleaning, surgical options may need to be considered. Dr. Beddoe uses the most up-to-date methods and technology when performing these procedures and always takes your comfort into consideration.

 

What is a Periodontist?

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists receive three additional years of education beyond dental school in this specialty. Periodontists are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and they can also perform cosmetic periodontal procedures to help you achieve the smile you desire.
