Protect Your Smile With Gum Disease Treatment in Gillette, WY

Gum disease is bad for your gums, bad for your teeth, and bad for your whole body. It’s the leading cause of tooth loss among adults, and it has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, premature births, and low birth weight. This is why it’s also important for us to provide great gum disease treatment in Gillette, WY. With our help, you can:

We can identify harmful bacteria early Read Transcript
We can identify harmful bacteria early

We're able to restore people back to good periodontal health by addressing the problem at hand, and that is bacteria. We are able to, with our technology and the things that we have in the office, test and check for pathogenic bacteria in the mouth. And this is the root cause of all periodontal disease, so we check this and are able to identify specific bacteria and are able to treat those bacteria so those bacteria do not end up causing greater harm to the individual through potential heart attack or stroke or potential brain problems. Periodontal disease, or the bacteria that causes periodontal disease, has been linked to several systemic diseases, so we take this very seriously.

  • Avoid unattractive and unhealthy receding gums
  • Prevent bone and tooth loss
  • Reduce your risk of related health conditions
  • Eliminate chronic bad breath

Don’t let periodontal disease wreck your gums – or your health! Call Synergy Dental Center at 307-228-7114 to make an appointment with Dr. David Porter.

Be Proactive About Your Periodontal Health

Periodontal problems are shockingly common in the United States. Nearly half of Americans age 30 years and older have some form of it. Since gum infections can lead to or worsen other systemic health issues, we are proactive in our approach to prevention and treatment.

When patients come in for a dental cleaning and exam, we perform an oral bacterial test. We check a gum sample using a microscope for signs of gum disease. We follow up with testing by an outside lab, which can help us provide personalized treatment for your situation.

We’ll Help Lower Your Risk of Gum Problems

If you do have periodontal disease, we’ll do a quick A1C test as a part of our general dental care. In about six minutes, you can learn your average blood glucose levels from the previous three months. This is important because it can help assess your risk of diabetes, which can increase your risk of periodontal problems and which can worsen by gum infections. With that in mind, we encourage you to complete this diabetes screening and this gum disease risk assessment.

If your A1C test results suggest you may have or be at risk of diabetes, we can introduce you to a holistic approach to controlling your condition. Dr. Porter works closely with several doctors so you can get the help you need.

Repair Your Receding Gums

After you have completed gum disease treatment, we can focus on restoring your healthy smile. As part of our biologic dental care, we use advanced techniques such as bacteria gum therapy. To reverse your gum recession, we use a dental laser and PRF treatments.

Once gums have started to recede, you want to prevent the damage from getting worse. With our Fotona LightWalker® dental laser, we can painlessly remove infected tissue. This process also preserves more of your healthy tissue than surgical removal of bad tissue.

Through PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) treatment, we need just a small sample of blood, which we separate in a centrifuge into platelets, plasma, and fibrin. We then apply the fibrin to your gumline to reduce recovery time and regenerate new gum tissue. To put it simply, this biological process takes advantage of your body’s immune system to help you heal faster.

To prevent problems or to receive gum disease treatment in Gillette, WY, or call 307-228-7114 today.

I happened to be in Gillette for the week when my permanent retainer came off.I called around and this office was the only one that agreed to repair it. I decided to remove it all together and order a pair of retainers to wear at night, along with removing the top bonded wire. I felt that they were generous with their time, but they did a super thorough yet quick job. And I think they gave me a good deal for doing all of this especially without being a patient of theirs. They also got me in within a day. Dr. Porter and the hygienists were really friendly and attentive, they took the mold & my retainers were ready in just a few hours to pick up. Now I won’t have to worry about my permanent retainers breaking since I travel a lot and I got a really quality night guard out of it !! I’m so happy I called this office

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

What is gum disease treatment?

Gum disease treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and under your gumline. Your hygienist or dentist will use a treatment plan that works best for your unique situation and preferences to carefully get your gums back into shape, removing damaged gum tissue and sealing your gums back at the same time.

Is gum disease treatment painful?

Your gum disease treatment should be completely comfortable. We’ll numb your gums if needed so you don’t feel any discomfort or pain during your treatment. In addition, if you’re nervous about your procedure, we offer two forms of sedation for relaxing care. Choose either inhaled sedation using laughing gas or oral conscious sedation with a small pill.

What are gum disease symptoms?

In its early stages, there are often no symptoms associated with gum disease, which is why it is called a silent killer. As it progresses, you may notice your gums becoming red, puffy, and painful. Your gums may also bleed when you brush or floss. In its advanced stages, gum disease can even cause your teeth to become loose or fall out. It can also contribute to overall health problems, like diabetes.
