Comprehensive Gum Therapy in Dripping Springs, TX
TORC Dental provides a wide range of treatments for periodontal or gum diseases. We offer treatments based on each patient’s needs and goals for good dental health.
- Scaling and Root Planing: Standard care for the early stages of gum disease. Cleans bacteria from beneath your gumline.
- Gingivectomy: Removes diseased gum tissue or gums that are overgrown, allowing for easier removal of plaque and food debris during home care.
- Osseous Surgery: Reshapes diseased bone around the teeth so that bacteria and deposits cannot become embedded in deep, bony pockets and the gums can reattach to the teeth and bone, making home care more efficient.
- Ridge Augmentation: Fills the gaps in the bone left by previous tooth extractions and builds up bony ridges needed to support dental prosthetics, such as bridges, partials, or dentures.
- Ridge Preservation: Fills the bony gap when a tooth is pulled to avoid bone resorption that sometimes occurs after an extraction.
Some of these procedures require only local anesthesia. Others require a higher level of sedation. Dr. Hijazi will assess your needs, discuss your options, and develop a plan that is right for you.
