Periodontal Treament encompasses a wide range of procedures. Periodontists treat periodontal diseases that cause pockets, periodontal diseases caused as side effects of medications, diseases associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes as well as various immune-related disorders. Cosmetic periodontal procedures are a large component of Dr. Hall's practice. These procedures include removing excess gum tissue to lengthen the teeth, adding gum tissue to cover exposed roots and to augment areas of thin gum tissue. Periodontists have also been at the forefront of dental implant treatment. Dental implants replace missing teeth and help stabilize dentures.
