Periodontal Treatment in Tampa, FL

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Wang and Cortes Dental offers advanced periodontal treatments to prevent and manage gum disease, restoring your oral health.

Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is an infection of the gums that can lead to significant oral health issues if left untreated. Early symptoms include gum inflammation, bleeding, and sensitivity, while advanced stages can cause tooth loss and affect overall health. Regular periodontal care is essential to prevent and manage gum disease effectively. Our practice in South Tampa provides thorough and compassionate care to patients from nearby areas like Manhattan, Waters Ave, Midtown, Ballast Point, Hillsborough, and Tampa Bay.

Types of Periodontal Treatments We Offer

Our experienced team at Wang and Cortes Dental, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, offers a range of periodontal treatments to meet each patient’s needs. We are dedicated to restoring gum health and preventing further complications through:

• Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line, allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the tooth.
• Antibiotic Therapy: In some cases, antibiotics are applied directly to the gum pockets to eliminate bacteria and aid in healing.
• Periodontal Maintenance: After initial treatment, ongoing periodontal maintenance is essential for preventing the recurrence of gum disease.
• Surgical Options: For severe cases of gum disease, surgical procedures may be recommended to address deep pockets and regenerate healthy gum tissue.

Our personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective treatment for your specific condition. To support ongoing gum health, regular Dental Exams & Cleanings are recommended as part of a preventive care routine.
