Restoring Gum Health: Periodontal Treatments at Olive Branch Dental
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a very common condition that can result in the loss of teeth if not treated. At Olive Branch Dental in Columbus, Indiana, we provide thorough periodontal treatments that will restore and ensure the health of your gums.

Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease evolves through stages:
Gingivitis: Initial stage marked by red, inflamed gums that can bleed when brushing.
Periodontitis: More severe stage in which gums recede from teeth and create pockets that trap bacteria, causing bone and tissue destruction.

Treatment Options:
Our method starts with non-surgical procedures and moves to surgical alternatives if needed:
Scaling and Root Planing: A thorough cleaning session that eliminates plaque and tartar beneath the gum line and polishes tooth surfaces to enhance healing.
Pocket Depth Reduction: A surgical process to decrease pockets around teeth and gums, eliminating bacteria and enabling gums to reattach to teeth.
Regenerative Procedures: Bone grafts or tissue-stimulating proteins as techniques to regrow lost bone and tissue.
Soft-Tissue Grafts: Placed on exposed tooth roots resulting from gum recession, minimizing sensitivity and against decay.
