Periodontal Treatment
Your gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. When they are in good shape, they protect your teeth and support overall oral health; however, when gum health is compromised, it
can lead to serious dental issues, including tooth loss.
Advanced Periodontal Treatment
Dr. Sheila Mahooti’s dental office in Encino offers comprehensive periodontal care, whether routine maintenance or advanced treatments with a specialist. Dr. Tina Jung is a board-certified periodontist who treats patients at Signature Smiles of LA, so you won’t have to travel to a different location for specialized care.
Gum disease, or gingivitis, is about more than bleeding gums; it is a silent but serious condition that can progress without obvious symptoms until its advanced stage, periodontitis. Staying current with routine checkups and teeth cleanings at our Encino, CA, dental office is key to preventing the progression of gum disease and preserving oral health.
However, optimal gum health also supports overall health and well-being. Untreated periodontal disease is linked to an increased risk of heart and lung disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, and numerous other systemic conditions.
Personalized Periodontal Care
Dr. Mahooti and our periodontist work closely with you to develop a treatment plan to restore your gums to full health. Once you’ve received periodontal treatment, maintaining your gum health is crucial to prevent a reoccurrence.
For many patients, this involves more frequent dental cleanings to keep your gum health in check. We also focus on education and prevention to encourage proactive steps to maintain your gums and oral health. At our state-of-the-art dental office, we use advanced technology, including digital imaging and laser dentistry, to ensure precise diagnoses and effective treatments.
Our general dentist handles routine dental hygiene and even deep cleanings called scaling and root planing; our periodontist goes beyond these basic services to provide specialized treatments to restore gum health.
