The teeth require the support of gum tissue and bone for healthy maintenance. The field of dentistry that specializes in the supporting tissues of the teeth and diseases that impact them is periodontics. When the gum or bone tissue requires treatment for health or cosmetic purposes, periodontics surgery may be required. At First Smile Family Dental, we offer advanced periodontics using cutting-edge dental technology at our dental center in Federal Way, WA.
Periodontics covers many conditions that impact the jawbone, gums and teeth. Periodontal disease is the foremost health concern for teeth and gums; gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss. However, periodontics is not only concerned with preventing gum disease. Periodontics surgery can be used to improve bone health or density to place dental implants or to remove excess gum tissue.
Dr. Vien Nguyen is an experienced dentist who uses the latest dental technology and surgical techniques for periodontics surgery. Our office in Federal Way is equipped with cutting-edge dental tools, such as our diode laser, CBCT and digital imaging, to perform precision surgical procedures on the teeth, gums and jaw. Not all dentists offer periodontics at their practice, due to the specialized equipment and training needed. If you are considering dental implants or need gum revision with oral or periodontics surgery, come see us at First Smile Family Dental.
