Periodontics

Overview

Periodontics Denver, Colorado

Periodontics is a dental specialization focusing on gum health. It literally means “around the gums,” and focuses on everything relating to protecting and preserving your gums, particularly from gum disease.

Gum disease, also called “periodontal disease,” is an infection of the gum tissue. In the short term, it causes issues like gum swelling, inflammation, and discoloration. But in the long term, it can cause permanent tooth loss, and is the leading cause of premature tooth loss for American adults. Gum disease is particularly dangerous for seniors, who have a higher risk of tooth loss due to this disease.

At Ascent Dental, our team has years of experience in periodontics. Whether you need a periodontal dentist in Denver to help with gum disease, are interested in reshaping your gums, need a new set of dentures, or require assistance with any other gum treatment. Contact us online to schedule an appointment today, and get answers to all of your questions about periodontics in Denver.

When Should I Consider Periodontics? Recognizing The Signs Of Gum Disease

The primary reason most people choose a periodontist is to get help with gum disease. There are a lot of different signs that could indicate you have gum disease.

  • Gum inflammation or discoloration
  • Gum tenderness
  • Bleeding when flossing or brushing, even gently
  • Changes in how your teeth fit together
  • Pain when biting and chewing
  • Bad breath, which is caused by bacteria building up between your gums and teeth
  • Sores or pus between the teeth
  • Dentures that don’t fit like they used to

If you recognize any of these signs, you may have gum disease. Risk factors that may increase your chances of developing gum disease include smoking, improper at-home oral hygiene, uncontrolled diabetes, and advanced age. We recommend doing more research on your symptoms or calling Ascent Dental for an appointment right away.

We can also help with problems that are caused by extensive gum disease, such as gum recession, premature tooth loss, and more. By getting your gum disease under control and restoring your smile, our periodontal dentists in Denver can provide you with a healthier bite and restore your self-confidence.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The most efficient and kind dentist and staff out there! I can't recommend them highly enough. I love the personal touch they bring to every appointment — they truly make you feel like family. Recently, I had a cap replaced, and it was amazing to watch them create the new cap right there in the office, all in one visit. No waiting for a lab! They also filled a cavity for my daughter, and the way they handled her fear of needles was incredible — so gentle and reassuring. If you're looking for top-notch dental care with a team that genuinely cares, this is the place! John Mc. Centennial, CO

I chipped my front 2 teeth a year ago and was not satisfied at all with the work done at another dentist in Fort Collins. I came here and had a great experience! The staff are all very kind and understanding. I ended up getting 2 veneers and the process was mostly pain-free and my teeth look 100x better than they did before! The entire staff is very skilled, I will definitely be coming back here for anything I need 👍
