We Offer Custom Gum Disease Treatments
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening in Paramus, NJ, reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of your natural tooth. This treatment is often recommended for restorative needs or to create a more balanced smile.
Gingival Graft
A gingival graft repairs receding gums by using tissue to restore coverage and protect tooth roots. This gingivitis treatment helps prevent further gum infection and improves both function and aesthetics.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing in Paramus, NJ, is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline. It helps stop the progression of periodontal disease and promotes healthy gum reattachment.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes or reshapes the frenum (the small tissue fold under the tongue or lips) that may be causing gum recession or orthodontic concerns. This simple procedure can prevent long-term periodontal issues.
Gingivectomy
A gingivectomy removes diseased gum tissue to eliminate pockets caused by periodontal disease. This allows for easier cleaning and better gum health moving forward.
