Periodontist Seattle sees a lot of dental fears from patients. They are aware of the special needs dental fear patients require. They do a non-invasive exam and explain the treatment plan that normally includes a combination of pre-visit calming medications and sedation dentistry. So if you're one of the fearful patients fear no more because periodontist Seattle are ready to help you.
Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It starts when the bacteria in plaque caused th gums to inflamed. Around 80% of American adults have this disease. With time, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque upset the gums. The toxins stimulate a persistent inflammatory response where the body fundamentally activates itself and the tissues and bone that secure the teeth are broken down and destroyed.

Gums separate from the teeth, forming pockets that become infected. The pockets deepen when the disease progresses resulting to more damage in the gum tissue and bone. Often, this destructive process has very mild symptoms. Eventually, teeth can become loose and may have to be removed. Periodontist Seattle offers in-office sedation for all their patients to ease surgery procedures in serious instances of gum problems. It will help you reach a more comfortable stage. They seldom offer pill sedation because the levels of sedation cannot be controlled whereas the levels of intra-venous sedation can be controlled.
They generally place a bone graft in an extraction site to prepare the area for implant placement. It's usually when there is insufficient bone to help with an implant. Other bone grafts are placed so that you can supplement lack of bone as a result of untreated periodontal disease. For implant placement they also do ridge augmentations and ridge splits to regenerate vertical height or horizontal width. Also periodontist Seattle can place a gum graft in an area where there simply is inadequate gum tissue and/or where recession has occurred. This will correct many problems and can avoid tooth loss. There are actually several types of gum grafts; some use their own tissue yet others use harvested tissue. Using harvested tissue means less discomfort for the patient and better predictability.
Periodontist Seattle uses the most recent technology in bone regeneration. This has found it to be the "platinum standard" when it comes to bone regeneration. Basically, in your hipbone, there's a bone regener

Periodontist Seattle uses the most recent technology in bone regeneration. This has found it to be the "platinum standard" when it comes to bone regeneration. Basically, in your hipbone, there's a bone regenerating cells called "cytoplasts." During a procedure where they must regenerate bone to support natural teeth or dental implants Seattle, they could extract bone marrow cells from your hip. There's no need for stitching; they just cover the site with a band-aid, as bone marrow cell extraction is non-invasive. They will mix the stem cells with bone material, apply it to the surgical area and overtime your cytoplasts go to work and the area will naturally form new bone. This innovative procedure is for patients who need bone regeneration because of bone loss. Although this practice is new to dentistry, it's been used medically for many years. When it comes to surgery, periodontist Seattle's patients receive the best that technology has to offer.
