Gum Treatments and Services in Santa Monica

 

Santa Monica Periodontics & Implant Surgery provides specialized care for gum, jaw, and overall tooth health. Periodontal (gum) disease is a common issue among all ages, which is why we concentrate on cleanings and therapies designed to eradicate or treat gum disease before it becomes a problem. Periodontal disease is a progressive disease ranging from gum inflammation to significant conditions that result in damage to the gums and bone, and it is the leading cause of tooth loss.

Some of our popular services include:  

 

 

Because we take a comprehensive approach to treating our patients, we don’t just look at the teeth but instead look at the overall health of the mouth. Bacterial infection can develop unnoticed, but with our help this “invisible” threat can be safely removed.

 

 

What to Expect from a Periodontist

 

The doctors and staff of Santa Monica Periodontics & Implant Surgery believe healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of good health. Our educated professionals are committed to providing long-lasting treatments to prevent gum disease, and effectively treat gum health issues. We always treat the patient, not just the gums, and we will never suggest or perform unnecessary procedures.

We also want our patients to enjoy their time with us, so we focus on creating a warm and welcoming environment through delivering on-time appointments, prompt service, and open communication. Dr. Greenberg, Dr. Raschkovsky and staff keep current with technological advancements and trends, ensuring our patients receive only the best care. A customized treatment plan designed with the patient's needs in mind is established during consultations, so that all parties are aware of any problems, as well as all available solutions. And since periodontists manage the soft tissue, our patients experience only gentle and compassionate care whether they are receiving non-surgical therapies or are having dental implants placed.

We are proud of the relationships we have with our established patients – please check out our patient reviews  and discover for yourself what people are saying about our practice!

Learn More About Santa Monica Implant DentistryReplace Your Missing or Damaged Teeth Dental implants are the state-of the-art technique for replacing missing teeth. Before we had dental implants, teeth were replaced with fixed bridges or removable partials (prostheses). A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root which is attached to the jaw bone. Eventually, a replacement tooth or bridge will be firmly fixed to this root, restoring complete function to the tooth. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to...

The term “periodontal” means “around the tooth.”  Periodontal disease (also known as periodontitis and gum disease) is a common inflammatory condition that affects the supporting and surrounding soft tissues of the tooth, eventually affecting the jawbone itself in the disease’s most advanced stages. Periodontal disease is most often preceded by gingivitis which is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue.  A bacterial infection affects the gums when the toxins contained in plaque begin to irritate and inflame the gum tissues.  Once this...

Treatment of BruxismBruxism refers to an oral parafunctional activity that occurs in most humans at some point in their lives.   Grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw are the two main characteristics of this condition, which can occur during the day or at night. Bruxism is one of the most common known sleep disorders and causes most of its damage during sleeping hours.  The clenching and grinding which accompanies bruxism is symptomatic of a malfunctioning chewing reflex, which is turned off in non-sufferers when sleeping.  For...

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the soft tissues of the mouth and the underlying jawbone which supports the teeth.  A dentist must first graduate from an accredited dental school before undertaking an additional three years of study within a periodontology residency training program, in order to qualify as a periodontist. The primary focus of this residency training is on both surgical and non surgical management of periodontal disease and the placement of dental implants. Conditions Treated by a Periodontist The...

Root Amputation Root amputation is a specialized dental procedure, whereby one root is removed from a multi-root tooth. The tooth is then stabilized and rendered fully functional with a crown or filling. The multi-root teeth best suited to the root amputation procedure are the molars at the back of the mouth. These large flat teeth have either two or three roots depending on whether they are situated on the upper or lower jaw. The general purpose of root amputation is to save an injured or diseased tooth from extraction. Most dentists agree...
