Dear Patients:

We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients. Sabal Dental will reopen on May 1, 2020.

While things are certainly not “business as usual,” we wanted to let you know we are here for you in our clean, comfortable, and safe environment. Our standards are well “above and beyond” what the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control recommend. We love what we do and the people we do it for.  We are always here for you.

This high level of service is just one of the many ways that we are supporting our community, and it is included in the excellent work that we do…we go through a comprehensive disinfection after every patient is cared for.

All our dentists and team members here at Sabal Dental will continue to go above and beyond for our patients…it is second nature. For this and many other reasons, many of our patients have trusted their care with us for years.

We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,
The Sabal Dental Team

So a lot of patients, they walk around, they don't even know they have it. They might have some bleeding gums here and there, but it's something that should be treated and can be treated. And it's really important for us to have, for our patients to have really healthy gums. So periodontal disease has been linked to heart disease. There's a lot of bacteria in your mouth. They can also affect the overall health of your body. So, and also with perio, it really starts from home care. We want our patients to have good home oral hygiene.

Visit Our Experts To Keep Your Gums Healthy

We have a board-certified periodontist on staff, a dentist who specializes in treating gum-related problems. You can feel good about coming to see us if you have gum disease or some other issue with your gums.

If we find evidence of gum disease, then we will most likely recommend a therapeutic service known as scaling and root planing (also called “deep cleaning”). Your dentist will:

  • Offer you sedation if you’re nervous about your procedure
  • Use a special instrument called a scaler to gently remove built-up plaque, tartar, and bacteria around and below the gumline
  • Plane (smooth) your teeth roots so that bacteria have a harder time re-collecting there
  • If possible, perform laser treatment instead to safely remove damaged gum tissue without any cutting or stitches

If significant gum disease has caused your gums to recede, we can also perform gum recession treatment. This could be in the form of a gum graft or using the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (done at our Calallen location). These treatments can restore your lost gum tissue and give you back a beautiful gumline.

Don’t let gum disease ruin your smile. Call Sabal Dental today at 361-529-9245 to find out if you need gum disease treatment in Alameda Corpus Christi.

Common Questions About Gum Disease Treatment

Our dental team will do all we can to ensure that your gum disease treatment is as comfortable as possible for you. We use a liquid local anesthetic called Oraqix that allows us to numb the area we’re working on without any needles. Our patients appreciate this gentle approach. Plus, we offer inhaled sedation in the form of laughing gas that will calm any anxious nerves you have.

When food particles get trapped between your teeth, the bacteria in your mouth feed on them, creating a sticky substance called plaque. Over time, plaque becomes hardened tartar and can eventually lead to gum inflammation and pockets of infection below the gumline. At this point, gum disease treatment is needed to rid your gums of bacteria, tartar, and plaque.

Most of the time, your gum disease treatment will take about an hour. Your dentist or periodontist will first numb your gums using a needle-free liquid anesthetic, then they will use special instruments (possibly a laser) to clean around and below your gumline to remove built-up tartar and bacteria. Next, we’ll smooth your tooth roots to make it more difficult for your gums to become reinfected.
