Periodontics is an important component of dental care.

Periodontics in Citrus Heights

Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation.

in Citrus Heights for Healthier Gums

Non-Surgical Gum Inflammation Therapy

Our non-surgical gum therapy targets bacterial buildup beneath the gumline to treat gingivitis and mild periodontitis. Through scaling, root planing, and antimicrobial treatment, inflamed tissues can heal naturally. This effective, minimally invasive care reduces pocket depth, controls infection, and supports long-term gum stability while protecting the bone and surrounding teeth.

Laser Gum Therapy

Laser gum therapy uses precise dental lasers to remove diseased tissue and sterilize periodontal pockets with minimal discomfort. The laser targets infection while leaving healthy tissue intact, encouraging rapid healing and regeneration. This modern, minimally invasive treatment helps control gum disease, reduce inflammation, and restore oral health more comfortably than traditional methods.

Perio Scaling and Root Planing

Periodontal scaling and root planing remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline to treat early or moderate gum disease. By cleaning and smoothing the tooth roots, this procedure allows the gums to heal and reattach naturally. The result is healthier tissue, reduced pocket depth, and improved long-term periodontal stability.

Subgingival Curettage

Subgingival curettage is a procedure that gently removes infected tissue from inside the gum pocket around the teeth. This treatment helps eliminate bacteria that cause inflammation and promotes the natural healing of the gums. Often performed with scaling and root planing, it helps reduce pocket depth and supports long-term periodontal health.

Oral inflammation

Oral inflammation is a common condition caused by bacteria that irritate the gums and surrounding tissues. At Citrus Heights Dental, we identify the source of inflammation early to help reduce redness, swelling, and bleeding. Treating oral inflammation supports healthier gums, lowers the risk of periodontal disease, and helps protect your long-term oral and overall health.

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease treatment focuses on removing harmful bacteria and infection from around the teeth and gums to restore oral health. Through deep cleanings and targeted therapies, treatment helps reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, prevent bone loss, and protect your natural teeth for long-term stability and comfort.

Gingival Flap Interpolated with Root Planing

Gingival flap surgery with root planing is an advanced periodontal procedure where gum tissue is gently lifted to access deep infection, thoroughly clean tooth roots, reduce pocket depth, and support long-term gum health.

Bone Replacement Graft

Bone replacement grafting is a regenerative dental procedure that restores lost jawbone using biocompatible materials, supporting natural bone growth, stabilizing teeth, and creating a strong foundation for implants and long-term oral health.

Guided Tissue Regeneration

Guided tissue regeneration is a periodontal procedure that uses specialized membranes to encourage healthy bone and gum regrowth while preventing unwanted tissue interference, helping restore support around teeth damaged by advanced gum disease.
