Diagnosis of Periodontal Disease
At Strutz Periodontics, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing periodontal disease. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly assess the health of your gums and supporting bone structure. Our diagnostic tools include:
- Visual Examination: We will carefully inspect your gums and teeth for signs of infection, inflammation, and gum recession.
- Periodontal Probing: A special instrument is used to measure the depth of the spaces between your gums and teeth (called periodontal pockets). Deep pockets indicate advanced gum disease.
- X-rays: Digital X-rays allow us to examine the bone structure around your teeth, helping us identify any bone loss that may have occurred due to periodontal disease.
- 3D Imaging (if applicable): In some cases, we may use advanced 3D imaging to assess the condition of your gums and bone more accurately.
Based on these findings, Dr. William Strutz will discuss your diagnosis and recommend the appropriate treatment plan to restore your oral health.
