What to Expect
There are two types of periodontal treatment:
Nonsurgical Treatments
Dr. Sonia Olivares always starts with nonsurgical treatments, opting for the minimally invasive approach with each patient. She begins with a hand scaler or curette to remove plaque and calculus at and below the gum line. Periodontal debridement procedures involving hand tools and ultrasound can smooth the surface of tooth roots. In addition, she uses lasers to treat pockets of bacteria along the gum line.
Surgical Treatments
This treatment is used when necessary, Dr. Sonia Olivares has the trained team needed to restore your gums and bones to health. Gum-grafting restores eroding gum tissue, and crown lengthening reshapes the gums to place a restoration properly.
