Periodontal Services

Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease as well as the process of replacing teeth with dental implants. Periodontists receive up to three years of additional, specialized training in treating periodontal disease and other conditions.

Periodontists are also specialists in treating oral inflammation and any condition requiring either non-surgical treatment or oral plastic surgery. Oftentimes, periodontists are treating conditions caused by periodontal disease and its effects such as persistent bad breath or gum recession.

Crown Lengthening Plantation, FL

Crown Lengthening

For patients who believe that their smile is too “gummy” or that their teeth are too short, we are proud to offer crown lengthening services to fix those concerns. Crown lengthening procedures are done to expose more of the tooth and remove extra gum tissue. By doing this, we can reshape your gums and help give your teeth the look and shape you desire. In addition to the life-changing results, crown lengthening is a minimally-invasive procedure that will allow for a more balanced, even smile.

Before we begin treatment, we will first meet to learn more about your desired results as well as determine if crown lengthening is the best procedure for you. Factors such as oral hygiene and gum health will determine the best course of action and treatment plan. During the dental crown lengthening procedure, our team will remove excess gum and bone tissue to reshape the tooth to expose a more natural tooth. This procedure can be done to just one single tooth or several, or even to your entire gum line. These changes can be done for restorative or cosmetic purposes depending on your needs.

The recovery time for the crown lengthening procedure is approximately three months. As your gums heal, you’ll be able to resume normal habits and functions. In recovery, you will be asked to avoid demanding activities during the first two to three days after your operation. Some patients report mild discomfort during the procedure and increased sensitivity after the treatment is complete, but with a personalized treatment plan we can help manage any discomfort and pain. Moving forward, practicing good oral hygiene is paramount.

Gum Recession

Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth or the tooth’s root. This condition can lead to tooth sensitivity, decay, and eventually, tooth loss if left untreated. Common causes of gum recession include gum disease, aggressive brushing, or a misaligned bite.
At Dental Airway, we offer advanced treatment options to address gum recession, ranging from deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to minimally invasive surgical procedures such as gum grafts. Treating gum recession early can help preserve the health of your gums and teeth while also enhancing your smile.
Signs of Gum Recession:
  • Teeth appearing longer than usual
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Visible tooth roots
  • Gum inflammation or bleeding

Seek treatment early to protect your dental health and prevent further complications.

Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissue and bone that support your teeth. It begins with gingivitis (gum inflammation) and, if left untreated, can progress to periodontitis, which may lead to tooth loss. Symptoms of gum disease include swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth.
Dental Airway provides comprehensive periodontal care, including professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, and advanced treatments for more severe gum disease. Our goal is to halt the progression of the disease and restore your oral health.
Gum Disease Treatment Options:
  • Non-surgical deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
  • Antibiotic therapy to reduce infection
  • Surgical intervention for advanced cases

By treating gum disease early, you can prevent tooth loss and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dental Implants Plantation, FL

Dental Implants

When you have missing teeth, an alternative solution to dentures is dental implants. While dentures are removable, dental implants provide permanent new teeth to restore your mouth’s function and appearance. Dental implants tend to offer a successful and lasting solution to the loss of some or all of your teeth.
