PERIODONTAL THERAPY
Comprehensive treatment solutions to prevent, manage, and reverse gum disease—protecting your smile, preserving your teeth, and promoting lifelong oral health through gentle, advanced care.
Scaling & Root Planning (SRP)
Scaling and Root Planning is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat early to moderate gum disease by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline. At Tafodent, we use advanced techniques to gently clean tooth roots, reduce gum inflammation, and help reattach gums to teeth—promoting long-term oral health.
What We Provide:
- Full periodontal evaluation and pocket depth measurement
- Scaling to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline
- Root planning to smooth the tooth roots and discourage bacterial buildup
- Use of local anesthesia for patient comfort
- Post-procedure care instructions for faster healing and maintance
Antibiotic Therapy
Antibiotic therapy in dentistry is essential for controlling bacterial infections that cannot be managed through local treatment alone. It is commonly used to treat abscesses, gum infections, or infections following dental procedures. Timely antibiotic intervention can prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the body and support healing.
What We Provide:
- Careful assessment to determine the need for antibiotic use
- Prescription of appropriate antibiotics based on infection type and severity
- Management of dental infections such as abscesses, cellulitis, and periodontitis
- Guidance on proper dosage and duration of antibiotic course
- Monitoring for side effects or antibiotic resistance and follow-up evaluation
PerioProtect
PerioProtect is a non-invasive treatment designed to fight gum disease by delivering medication directly below the gumline. It uses custom-fit trays to apply antimicrobial agents to infected areas, reducing harmful bacteria and promoting healing without surgical intervention. This approach supports long-term periodontal health alongside regular cleanings.
What We Provide:
- Custom-made Perio Trays for precise medication delivery
- Prescription of effective antimicrobial gels for at-home use
- Non-surgical solution to manage gum infections and inflammation
- Guidance on daily use to maintain gum health
- Regular monitoring of treatment effectiveness and gum condition
Ridge Augmentation
Ridge augmentation is a surgical dental procedure used to restore the natural contour of the gums and jawbone lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, or periodontal disease. It is essential for creating a stable foundation for dental implants or improving aesthetics for prosthetics. This procedure helps regenerate bone and tissue, supporting long-term oral health.
What We Provide:
- Thorough evaluation and 3D imaging of the jawbone structure
- Bone grafting to rebuild and reshape the ridge
- Gentle surgical approach to ensure patient comfort
- Post-operative care to promote healing and prevent infection
- Coordination with implant placement or prosthetic restoration
Laser Decontamination
Laser decontamination is an advanced, non-invasive technique used to eliminate harmful bacteria from periodontal pockets and infected gum tissue. It promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances overall gum health. This therapy is often used as part of periodontal treatment or maintenance care.
What We Provide:
- Thorough cleaning of infected gum areas using soft-tissue dental lasers
- Precise bacterial elimination without harming healthy tissue
- Reduced bleeding, swelling, and post-procedure discomfort
- Enhanced healing and faster recovery time
- Integration with ongoing periodontal therapy for long-term results
Pocket Reduction
Pocket Reduction Surgery is a periodontal procedure used to treat deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. These pockets trap bacteria and make oral hygiene difficult, leading to further bone and tissue damage. At Tafodent, we perform pocket reduction to restore healthy gum attachment and prevent tooth loss.
What We Provide:
- Thorough periodontal evaluation and pocket depth measurement
- Surgical access to remove bacteria and infected tissue
- Reshaping of bone to support gum reattachment
- Minimal discomfort and faster healing with advanced techniques
- Personalized aftercare for long-term gum health and stability
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure)
LANAP is a modern, minimally invasive laser treatment for moderate to severe gum disease. It targets and removes infected gum tissue without cutting or sutures, allowing natural healing and regeneration of healthy tissues. At Tafodent, we use LANAP to ensure comfort, precision, and long-lasting gum health.
What We Provide:
- FDA-cleared laser therapy for periodontal disease
- Selective removal of diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums
- Less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional surgery
- Stimulation of bone and tissue regeneration
- Quick recovery with excellent long-term results
Gingivitis Treatment
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. It leads to red, swollen, and bleeding gums but is completely reversible with early care. At Tafodent, we offer gentle and effective treatment to restore gum health and prevent progression to more serious conditions.
What We Provide:
- Professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
- Antibacterial rinses and localized medication (if needed)
- Personalized oral hygiene education and brushing technique guidance
- Regular monitoring to ensure healthy gum recovery
- Supportive maintenance to prevent recurrence of gingivitis
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery, also known as flap surgery, is a periodontal procedure designed to treat advanced gum disease by removing deep pockets of infection and reshaping the bone around affected teeth. At Tafodent, we use precise techniques to restore healthy gum attachment and preserve your natural teeth.
What We Provide:
- Detailed evaluation of periodontal pockets and bone loss
- Surgical cleaning to remove tartar and infected tissue beneath the gums
- Reshaping of bone to eliminate deep pockets
- Suture placement to promote proper healing
- Personalized aftercare plan for long-term gum and bone health
Gum Recession Therapy
Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, making them more sensitive and vulnerable to decay and damage. At Tafodent, our gum recession therapy aims to restore lost gum tissue, protect tooth roots, and enhance your smile’s health and appearance using gentle, effective techniques.
What We Provide:
- Comprehensive assessment of gum recession severity
- Soft tissue grafting or regenerative techniques to restore coverage
- Treatment of underlying causes like aggressive brushing or gum disease
- Use of minimally invasive procedures for patient comfort
- Post-treatment care to maintain gum health and prevent further recession
Bone Regeneration
Bone regeneration is a dental procedure used to rebuild bone that has been lost due to gum disease, trauma, or tooth loss. At Tafodent, we use advanced regenerative materials and techniques to restore the jawbone’s structure and support future dental implants or healthy teeth.
What We Provide:
- Evaluation of bone loss using digital imaging
- Bone grafting with biocompatible materials
- Guided tissue regeneration to encourage natural bone growth
- Stabilization of teeth and preparation for implants
- Personalized care plan to ensure successful healing and long-term support
