Cedar Rapids Periodontics

If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease (gum disease), your clinician may recommend a deep cleaning. Once bacteria have gathered in the gum pockets, they have numerous factors that can destroy healthy bone and gum tissue surrounding the teeth. The pockets will then extend to larger depths that a toothbrush and floss simply can't reach.

The purpose of the deep cleaning is to physically remove the bacteria, and help restore gum pockets that are more cleansable. Dental Implants are an option to replace either a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, full arch of teeth, or to anchor a denture.
