Older Americans and their Periodontal Health!
May is Older Americans Health Month. At DC Perio & Implants we recognize that healthy teeth and gums are an integral part of our older patients overall health. As we get older, the social aspect of our life becomes more important, and being able to go out to restaurants and eat with our friends becomes an integral part of our daily life.

At DC Perio & Implants we know that healthy teeth are necessary for a healthy body.

Gum Disease and Women!
At DC Perio & Implants we recognize a woman’s periodontal health and gums may be impacted by a variety of factors that are unique to women. As women embark on their life journey there are events that are unique in women’s life, however, can have an impact on their overall health, including the oral cavity and their gums and periodontal health. At DC Perio & Implants we acknowledge that these events and the hormonal changes, such as puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause and post-menopause, need to be considered when the periodontal health is evaluated and diagnosed. Below please find additional information about these events that cause hormonal changes which impact the health of your gums.

Cosmetic and plastic gum surgery!

Here at DC Perio & Implants we realize that there are many elements that make up an ideal smile; bright, healthy-looking teeth immediately come to mind. But the gum tissue that surrounds and supports those teeth also plays a big role in how appealing your smile will look. Without a healthy, firm, and pink gum tissue you will not achieve that beautiful smile that you are looking for. There are various plastic and cosmetic issues involving gum (gingival) tissue. For example, your smile may look “gummy” — meaning you seem to display too much gum tissue when you smile, or your teeth appear too short. Sometimes it’s the opposite problem — your teeth appear too long because your gum tissue has receded (pulled back), exposing tooth-root surfaces that were covered at one time with your gum tissue.

Dental Implants Vs. Dentures
Dentures can be fabricated in two different ways. They can either be traditional dentures with no support which over time start losing their good fit and starting getting loose. However, dentures can also be made in such a way that they are supported by dental implants and do not lose their good fit and do not become loose overt time. At DC Perio & Implants we believe that dental implants and dental implant supported dentures provide a far superior experience compared to dentures.

How does Cystic Fibrosis affect your teeth and gums?
At DC Perio & Implants we put great value on treatment the patient as a whole and not just the oral cavity.
