Preventive

• Teeth Cleaning
  After you have fully recovered, you will still need to protect your implants. Luckily, it is just as easy to maintain dental implants as it is to maintain your natural teeth. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, particularly after meals and before bed. You should also floss at least once a day. Even if you have a full implant-supported denture, you should floss between your gum line and the restoration. In addition, you should be sure to attend biannual cleanings and exams with your general dentist. Through these regular appointments, your practitioner can eliminate oral bacteria, reduce your risk for periodontal disease, and extend the lifespan of your dental restorations.

  Traditional periodontal surgery involves the use of a scalpel to remove diseased gum tissue. Using the LANAP technique, our team can eliminate infected tissue with a dental laser. This process reduces pain, is less likely to result in bleeding gums, results in a quicker recovery time, and encourages smooth gum reattachment and bone regeneration.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

• Oral Surgery
  Some issues affecting the jaws and gums require oral surgery in order to restore comfort, health and function.
• Flap Surgery
  When non-surgical methods are not enough to address the effects of gum disease, gum flap surgery can restore the health of your smile. When left untreated, periodontal disease can cause extensive damage to the supporting structures of your teeth and eventually lead to tooth loss. At Periodontal Associates of Jackson. P.A., Drs. Roger B. Parkes and R. Clarke Stewart can perform a flap procedure to stop the progression of gum disease. It involves incising the gums and temporarily pulling the tissue away from the teeth to treat the roots and jawbone directly. Our Jackson, MS, dental practice provides multiple forms of anesthesia and sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
• Gum Surgery
  The pinhole surgical technique was developed by Dr. John Chao as a more comfortable alternative to traditional gum grafting. The primary difference is that rather than incising the gums and grafting tissue, this approach involves repositioning healthy, pliable tissue near the treatment site to cover areas in which the tissue has receded. While traditional grafting can require multiple visits to your periodontist, pinhole gum surgery can often be completed in just one office visit.
