A healthy smile depends on more than replacing missing teeth - it also depends on the condition of the gums and supporting bone. At Damian Periodontics in Pasadena, we often help patients understand that periodontics and dental implants are closely connected. Periodontal care supports the foundation of your smile, while dental implants can restore function and appearance when teeth are missing.
Gum disease can be easy to overlook at first. Many patients expect severe pain, but periodontal disease often starts quietly with small changes in the gums, breath, or the way teeth feel. At Damian Periodontics, we help patients identify these signs early so treatment can begin before the condition becomes more advanced.
Gum disease is a progressive condition that worsens over time without professional care. While it often starts quietly, untreated periodontal disease can result in tooth loss, bone deterioration, and chronic infection.
Gum recession happens when the tissue that normally covers the base of your teeth gradually pulls back, exposing the tooth roots. This receding affects the appearance of your teeth and can also cause tooth sensitivity. The good news is that, with the right care, receding gums can often be managed.
If you are missing teeth, the idea of a permanent solution is exciting but can also be a little nerve-wracking. You might be wondering how it all works and what to expect. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you understand the entire process.
Gum disease is a progressive condition that affects nearly half of American adults, yet many are unaware of the potential consequences it can have on their oral and overall health. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and has even been linked to systemic issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Traditional treatments often involve surgery, but modern periodontal care has evolved. At Damian Periodontics, we’re proud to offer Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP).
