Gum health is an essential component of overall oral health. At Nemeth & Katranji Periodontics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the gums, from gum disease to cosmetic concerns like uneven gum lines or discoloration. As a leading gum specialist in Michigan, we provide advanced treatments tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our expertise ensures healthier gums, a more attractive smile, and improved quality of life for our patients.
Comprehensive Treatment for Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. It starts with plaque buildup, which causes inflammation in the gums, and can progress to advanced stages involving bone loss and tooth loss.
At Nemeth & Katranji Periodontics, we offer a range of treatments for gum disease:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, targeting the root of the problem and allowing the gums to heal.
- LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure): A minimally invasive laser treatment that eliminates bacteria, promotes gum reattachment, and stimulates tissue regeneration.
- Periodontal Maintenance: For patients with a history of gum disease, we provide ongoing maintenance cleanings and monitoring to prevent recurrence.
Early detection and treatment are key to preserving gum health and preventing further complications.
Cosmetic Gum Treatments
In addition to addressing gum disease, we provide cosmetic gum treatments to enhance the appearance of your smile.
Gum Contouring is a popular procedure for patients with uneven or excessive gum tissue. By reshaping the gumline, we create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. For patients with a “gummy smile,” this procedure reveals more of the tooth structure for a natural look.
Gum Depigmentation is another cosmetic service we offer. Discoloration or dark pigmentation in the gums, often caused by genetics or habits like smoking, can detract from a smile’s appearance. Using advanced techniques such as laser gum lightening or tissue removal, we restore the natural pink tone of the gums, giving patients the confidence to smile freely.
Specialized Procedures for Advanced Gum Health
Our expertise extends to specialized procedures that address advanced gum health concerns.
Bone Grafting is performed when gum disease has caused significant bone loss. This procedure regenerates lost bone tissue, providing a stable foundation for teeth or dental implants.
Lip Repositioning is an innovative procedure for patients whose gummy smiles are caused by excessive lip retraction. By adjusting the lip’s position, we reduce the exposure of gum tissue when smiling, creating a more harmonious appearance.
These specialized procedures are designed to address a wide range of gum health challenges while ensuring optimal results and patient satisfaction.
