Gum Grafting and Bone Grafting at Eastman Dental

Periodontal disease, also known as “periodontitis” or “gum disease,” is an inflammatory condition of the mouth that is triggered by bacteria (plaque). Plaque is the sticky film that forms on the teeth. The longer it’s there, the more destruction it will cause to the surrounding bones and gums, causing periodontitis, eventually resulting in tooth loss if left untreated. If you’ve been diagnosed with periodontitis, our specialists can develop a customized plan to return your gums and jawbone to normal health.
