Healthy Smile From The Past

Do you have periodontal disease that has attacked the bone? Have you given up and believe your mouth can never have the healthy, white smile of your past? We have good news for you. Technology, being utilized in periodontal offices, can regenerate bone and  restore your smile. This procedure may sound complicated, but in a few short visits, you can be on your way to a smile where the bone is restored.
 

“In order to determine the best route for you, your periodontist,” says Dr. DenineRice, “will need to evaluate your periodontal health.” Depending on how much damage has been done, and where there is bone loss, will determine which procedure and where the bone is placed.  

The bone is usually artificially created and then implanted into the jawbone once bacteria have been removed. It is important for the bad bacteria to be removed from the gum tissue and for any periodontal disease to be under control prior to this procedure being conducted, otherwise, it will be difficult for healthy bacteria to grow.  

 Once the procedure is completed it is important to give your mouth the time to heal. You'll want to adjust some of the foods you eat. "Double check with your periodontist after the procedure is completed for any post-surgery requirements," suggests Periodontist Dr. Rice.
