Periodontal Care in Minneapolis, MN

Proper periodontal care is an essential component of oral health. By taking care of your gums and visiting your dentist regularly, you can prevent serious conditions like gum disease from negatively impacting your oral health. 

Good periodontal care is a critical step in every dental health routine, but it is especially important if you’ve been diagnosed with a periodontal condition. For patients with gum disease, seeking help from an experienced dentist is the surest way to restore your gums to optimal health. 

At Downtown Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in Minneapolis, we provide thorough periodontal care in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Our goal is to help all of our patients protect their teeth and gums with exceptional dental care and personalized treatment plans. 

Periodontal Services We Provide

Periodontics specializes in the treatment of gums, bone, and ligaments that support the teeth. While modern dentistry has done a lot to help patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles, gum disease is still prevalent in half of all adults across America. 

Downtown Periodontics provides the full spectrum of periodontal services in our Minneapolis dental office. Our most widely practiced services include:

• Periodontal Maintenance: Regular deep cleanings will help protect your teeth and gums from plaque and tartar buildup. This usually takes place during your regular dental visit or checkup, and may be scheduled more often for patients with periodontal disease. 
  
• Scaling and Root Planing: Once gum disease has set in, scaling is used to remove plaque and tartar that has developed underneath the gum line down to the tooth roots. Root planing smooths out the root’s surface, simultaneously keeping bacteria and plaque from reattaching to the roots, and allowing the gum tissue to heal securely into place and restore stability to the tooth. This is an effective way to manage advanced stages of gum disease.  
  
• Gum Contouring: This procedure is performed on patients whose gums are too high or low on their teeth. This cosmetic treatment helps even out the gum line and provide a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Gum contouring can be used to change the appearance of your smile, and to reduce pockets in the gums prone to harboring bacteria.
