Periodontics in Doral, FL: Care for Your Gums and Supporting Bone
Healthy teeth depend on a healthy foundation. Periodontics focuses on the gums and the bone that hold your teeth in place, and at Beauchamp Dental that care happens in the same Doral office where you already see your dentist. Our visiting periodontist, Dr. Martin Fernandez-Feo, sees patients right here, so you don't have to start over at an unfamiliar practice.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the periodontium: the tissues and structures that surround and support your teeth, including your gums and the supporting bone. When those tissues are healthy, your teeth stay stable and your smile looks balanced. When they break down, even healthy teeth can be put at risk.
Periodontal specialists are experts in the health, esthetics, and preservation of the periodontium. Their work protects the foundation that the rest of your dental care depends on, from a single filling to a dental implant.
Periodontal Treatments Available in Doral
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Using a protective membrane to help bone and the tooth's supporting attachment regrow where periodontal disease has destroyed them, so a tooth can keep a stable foundation.
Crown Lengthening or Gingivectomy
Reshaping gum tissue, and sometimes bone, to expose more of the tooth, whether to support a restoration or to even out a gum line that covers too much of your teeth.
Osseous Surgery
Cleaning deep periodontal pockets and reshaping the supporting bone, making the area easier to keep clean and healthy over time.
Bone Grafting
Rebuilding bone where it has been lost, often to preserve a site after an extraction or to prepare it for an implant. Learn more about bone grafting.
Implant Placement
Placing dental implants in healthy, well-supported bone, so your replacement tooth has a stable foundation for the long term.
