Periodontal Care In Avon, CO
What is Periodontal Care?
Periodontal care focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease. At Vail Dental Design, we offer comprehensive periodontal treatments to maintain healthy gums and protect your overall oral health. Our advanced techniques and technology help combat gum disease, reduce inflammation, and preserve your natural teeth for years to come.
The Benefits of Periodontal Care
Prevent Tooth Loss
Untreated gum disease is a leading cause of adult tooth loss. Regular periodontal care helps maintain strong, healthy gums that support your teeth, significantly reducing the risk of tooth loss and the need for extensive restorative treatments.
Improve Overall Health
Periodontal health is closely linked to overall wellness. Proper gum care can reduce inflammation throughout your body, potentially lowering your risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health issues.
Freshen Breath
Chronic bad breath is often a sign of gum disease. By addressing the root cause through periodontal care, you can enjoy fresher breath and increased confidence in social and professional situations.
Comprehensive Care for Healthy Gums
Types of Periodontal Care
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
This thorough cleaning removes plaque and tartar below the gum line and smooths root surfaces to promote healing. Deep cleaning is often the first line of defense against early to moderate gum disease, helping to halt its progression.
Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy
Soft-Tissue Laser Therapy
Our advanced laser technology allows for precise, minimally invasive treatment of gum disease. Laser therapy can reduce bacteria, remove diseased tissue, and stimulate healthy gum regeneration with less discomfort and faster healing times.
Gum Lifts & Cosmetic Crown Lengthening
Gum Lifts & Cosmetic Crown Lengthening
These procedures reshape the gum line to improve both aesthetics and oral health. Gum lifts can correct a "gummy" smile, while crown lengthening can expose more tooth structure for restorative treatments or improve gum symmetry.

The Periodontal Care Treatment Process
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough examination of your gums, including measuring pocket depths and assessing gum health. Advanced imaging may be used to detect any bone loss. This evaluation helps us determine the extent of gum disease and develop a tailored treatment plan.
Customized Treatment
Based on your evaluation, we'll recommend appropriate treatments. This may include deep cleaning, laser therapy, or surgical interventions for advanced cases. We'll explain each step of your treatment plan and address any concerns you may have.
Ongoing Maintenance
After initial treatment, we'll establish a personalized maintenance schedule to prevent disease recurrence. This typically involves more frequent cleanings and check-ups to monitor your gum health and make adjustments to your home care routine as needed.
FAQs
Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums; persistent bad breath; receding gums; and loose teeth. However, early stages of gum disease can be painless, which is why regular dental check-ups are crucial for early detection and treatment.
We prioritize your comfort during all procedures. Many treatments, like deep cleaning and laser therapy, can be performed with local anesthesia. For more extensive treatments, we offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience. Most patients find the process much easier than anticipated.
