Scaling and Root Debridement
When and Why This Therapy is Necessary:
When periodontal pockets exceed a certain depth, they become breeding grounds for bacteria, leading to inflammation and bone loss. Scaling and root debridement are vital to halt the progression of periodontitis and prevent tooth loss.
Before the Therapy:
Comprehensive oral assessment is the first step, where Dr. Allala uses diagnostic tools to measure the depth of your gum pockets. You'll be educated about the process and what to expect, ensuring all your concerns are addressed.
During the Therapy:
Using specialized instruments, Dr. Allala performs scaling to meticulously remove plaque and calculus from the tooth and root surfaces. Root debridement is then carried out to smooth out the roots and promote good gum reattachment. This process may be completed over multiple visits, depending on the extent of the periodontal disease.
After the Therapy:
You might experience mild sensitivity or discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. Dr. Allala will provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend a tailored oral hygiene regimen to facilitate optimal recovery.
Perio Protect Trays
When and Why This Therapy is Necessary:
These trays are particularly effective in managing periodontal disease between office visits, especially for patients who struggle with traditional oral hygiene due to dexterity issues or complex dental work.
Before the Therapy:
During your initial visit, Dr. Allala will take precise dental impressions, which are used to create your customized Perio Protect trays that fit snugly over your teeth.
During the Therapy:
These trays are designed to deliver doctor-prescribed solutions deep below the gums to manage the microbial colonies. Dr. Allala will instruct you on how to correctly use the trays at home, typically for minutes each day, as part of your periodontal maintenance routine.
After the Therapy:
Perio Protect trays are non-invasive with no downtime. You may immediately resume your daily activities with the added benefit of fresher breath and often whiter teeth.
Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy
When and Why This Therapy is Necessary:
Laser therapy is an excellent option for patients who have persistent or severe periodontal disease that hasn’t responded to other treatments. It's also a good choice for those looking for less invasive alternatives to surgery.
Before the Therapy:
A thorough evaluation will determine the extent of your periodontal disease. Dr. Allala will explain how laser therapy can specifically target the affected areas without harming healthy tissue.
During the Therapy:
Dr. Allala employs the precision of dental lasers to vaporize diseased tissue, reduce bacteria, and stimulate the regrowth of healthy gum tissue. This minimally invasive procedure results in less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
After the Therapy:
Post-operative discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived. Recovery times are significantly shorter, and most patients find they can return to normal activities the same day.
