Just as there are many types of periodontal diseases, there are many treatment options available for you. We offer a wide range of services that we tailor to meet your specific needs. Customized treatment plans enable us to provide the best possible care for you.
We begin our treatment with a New Patient Exam. The medical team should interview you to gain insight into your medical history and dental history. This interview will be followed by a Comprehensive Clinical Examination of your mouth, including an oral cancer screening.
When needed, full mouth radiographs (x-rays) are taken as a diagnostic tool. Our office utilizes digital x-rays which provides significantly greater detail and at the same time uses a reduced amount of radiation by as much as 80% as compared to conventional radiographs. CAT scans for implant diagnosis are available on site. They are used in conjunction with clinical findings to develop your customized treatment plan.
An in-depth lesson in disease control and home care will be provided by a dental assistant or registered dental hygienist.
We also offer Zoom® whitening for those patients whose general dentist does not offer this service.
We understand patient anxiety and fear concerning treatment. For a more positive and comfortable experience, we offer:
- Nitrous Oxide - This conscious sedation wears off quickly, so you won't need a driver afterwards.
- Conscious Sedation Dentistry with oral medication is available for more apprehensive patients. This type of sedation requires someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
- Post-Operative Medications - Whenever possible, we provide any necessary medication so our patients will not have to stop at a pharmacy immediately following an appointment.
- IV Sedation - We provide IV sedation to create a state of sedation also known as "twilight sleep".
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us today. We look forward to providing you with the personal care you deserve.
Sincerely,
Towson Periodontal Associates
