When you visit our periodontics office for the first time, we'll ask you various questions about your smile. Do your gums bleed when you floss or brush your teeth? Do you have missing teeth, and if so, how long have they been missing? From there, we'll use technology like x-rays to take a closer look at the condition of your teeth, gums, and jawbones. Finally, our dentist will create your personalized treatment plan.
