Periodontists

Periodontics

The easiest treatment is prevention, and this is the focus of the team here at Smile Solutions. Dental hygiene begins with an assessment and evaluation of the periodontal (gum) tissue by your general dentist.  If they feel this is complex they will ask you to see a specialist periodontist.

Either you general dentist or periodontist will then assess your periodontal condition and let you know what may be required to return you to good gum health. This may include removal of calculus (tartar), plaque, staining and possible application of decay-preventing agents.

Generally this can be completed by our team of dental hygienists.  Part of this treatment will be a home care regime designed specifically for each individual patient.

If you are undergoing dental restorative or cosmetic treatment, a revised home care routine will be designed for you and monitored as the treatment progresses, so as to achieve the best possible outcome.
