It is a specialized field of dentistry that deals with preventing, diagnosing, and addressing jawbone and gum disorders. A healthy oral cavity must be ensured to enable the teeth to remain firmly in position. At Licata Dental, our dentist in Chesterfield, MO provides various periodontal treatments to help you maintain efficient gum health.
  This involves the removal of harmful bacteria from the teeth and below the gums to help prevent periodontal disease from developing. Usually most pocket depths are in a healthy range.
  This is a more specialized, involved cleaning usually done every 3 months in patients who have signs of active periodontal disease with deeper pockets with bleeding and inflammation present in the gum tissues.
This is a deep cleaning process that removes bacteria and tartar deposits below the surface of the gums by using specialized dental tools.
Chronic inflammation can lead to the formation of loose gum tissue pockets between the teeth. During pocket reduction surgery, these tiny swollen areas are removed to help the gums hold onto the teeth better. Call us to learn more.
This procedure will eliminate the excess gum tissue and help teeth appear longer and more prominent.
If your gums have receded, soft tissues grafts taken from another area are implanted at the site of the lost tissues.
Dental implantscan be attached to the jawbone for tooth loss to serve as artificial tooth roots, capped with a crown restoration. This provides stability to the facial structure and prevents the decline of the jawbone.Â
 A gummy smile can disturb the appearance of your mouth. The shape of your gums is recontoured for a more aesthetic smile.
Routine dental exams with Dr. Licata are the best way to ensure that gum disease is identified and treated early at Licata Dental. If Dr. Licata has concerns that a person has severely advanced stages of gum disease, she will work with a specialist called a periodontist to help get their gums back to good health. A periodontist is a specialist dealing with advanced stages of gum disease.
