Treatments

Consultation

What patients are provided at the consultation

At the initial consultation, the specialist will firstly access the patient and discuss any potential procedures. The specialist will outline all the benefits and potential risks of treatment with the patient. The specialist may organise a second consultation visit, if they deem the patient needs further radiographing. At the end of the consultation the specialist will provide the patient with a treatment plan. The treatment plan will include the following:

  • Item numbers used for private health insured patients
  • Duration and number of visits
  • Costs of the procedure

Regain your smile with Australia’s dental and teeth implant experts at National Periodontics

National Periodontics have been placing dental implants in Adelaide and across Australia for the last 15 years. Dental implants are changing the quality of our lives! They are designed to replace a missing tooth or teeth so that they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

  • Designed to provide the foundation that support teeth that will look, feel, and chew like natural teeth
  • The implants are screws made from titanium that are placed surgically
  • The titanium screws are the stable anchors for which artificial teeth can be attached
  • Helps preserve facial features and prevent further bone deterioration that occurs naturally once teeth are lost

Cleaning and Prevention

Removing causative agents such as dental plaque and tartar, or calculus, which cause gingivitis

The Periodontist will only perform scaling and root planing after a thorough examination of the mouth, which may include taking x-rays and visually examining the mouth. Depending on the condition of the gums, the amount of tartar present, the depth of the pockets, and the progression of periodontitis , he may recommend scaling and root planing. In some cases this treatment may have to be with a local anaesthetic.

  • Protecting teeth against tooth loss
  • Can reduce bad breath
  • Helps avoid the risk for periodontal diseases

Laser Surgery

The benefits of laser treatment far outweigh the risks

A recent development in periodontal therapy is the Periolase® MVP-7™laser with the LANAP protocol. This laser therapy works by targeting only the infected gum and has the ability to distinguish between infected and healthy gum. The benefits of laser treatment include:

  • Preservation of gum tissue that may be lost with traditional surgery
  • Provides protection against developing sensitive teeth and receding gums
  • Creates a healthier environment around the teeth for the body to heal itself
  • Virtually pain-free treatment with no scalpel and no sutures
