Gum health is the foundation of your entire smile. At Kulick Dental, Dr. Chan and our team provide comprehensive periodontal care to help Seven Hills patients prevent, detect, and treat gum disease before it causes serious damage. Because gum disease is closely linked to systemic health conditions including heart disease and diabetes, we take a proactive approach to monitoring and maintaining healthy gum tissue at every visit. Contact Kulick Dental today to schedule a periodontal evaluation.
Gum disease progresses through stages, from mild gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis that threatens the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Dr. Chan provides targeted periodontal therapy designed to halt disease progression, reduce inflammation, and restore gum tissue health using a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning procedure that removes hardened tartar and bacterial deposits from below the gumline. Dr. Chan carefully scales the tooth surfaces and smooths the root structure to eliminate rough spots where bacteria thrive, allowing the gum tissue to reattach and heal properly over time.
Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure used to expose more of the natural tooth structure, either to support a dental crown that needs a stronger foundation or to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile. Dr. Chan performs this procedure with precision, reshaping the gum and bone tissue to achieve the desired functional or aesthetic result.
A frenectomy removes or repositions the thin bands of tissue called frenula that connect the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gum tissue. When a frenum is too tight or positioned incorrectly, it can restrict movement or pull the gums away from the teeth. Dr. Chan performs this minor procedure gently and efficiently, with minimal recovery time.
At Kulick Dental, no two treatment plans look alike. Dr. Chan and our team take the time to understand your goals, concerns, and comfort level before recommending any course of treatment. The result is care that fits your life and a smile that reflects who you are.
