In addition to completing a four-year dental degree program, gum experts undergo several years of additional training to earn a license as a periodontist.
Dr. Segal examines your teeth and gums to determine which procedure, if any, you might need. He evaluates the results of your dental X-rays and discusses your lifestyle, oral health history, symptoms, treatment preferences, and goals.
Periodontist of Weston offers the following services, among others:
During deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing), Dr. Segal numbs your gums and uses specialized instruments to clean beneath your gumline, eliminating harmful bacteria and plaque buildup.
Do you have gum recession? Dr. Segal can insert graft materials, obtained from the roof of your mouth or donated tissues from a lab, into areas where your gums are thin.
Gingival flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery) treats moderate to severe gum disease. Dr. Segal gently moves your gums aside, cleans your tooth roots, and repositions the gum tissue.
During bone graft procedures, like a sinus lift, Dr. Segal inserts bone graft materials into areas of bone loss to regenerate tissue and restore the volume and strength of your jaw.
During a tooth extraction, Dr. Segal numbs your mouth, makes tiny incisions, and removes wisdom teeth that are contributing to oral health problems.
During a crown lengthening procedure, Dr. Segal removes some gum tissue surrounding your teeth to make room for a dental crown or to reduce a gummy smile.
A frenectomy is a procedure that loosens the soft tissue in your mouth connecting your tongue to the bottom of your mouth to correct tongue-tie. It can also loosen tissues connecting your gums to your lip.
Dr. Segal places dental implants into your jawbone to anchor crowns, bridges, and dentures to replace missing permanent teeth and restore your smile.
Sedation dentistry provides the opportunity to receive a sedative before dental procedures, helping you feel calm and relaxed.
