00:00:08.382 --> 00:00:11.968
Well, in the early stages,
scaling and replanting

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:15.513
and education
about how to clean their teeth,

00:00:16.055 --> 00:00:17.890
we do periodontal surgery.

00:00:18.224 --> 00:00:22.686
Sometimes a patient loses tissue recession

00:00:23.228 --> 00:00:25.104
and those teeth become very sensitive,

00:00:25.363 --> 00:00:28.800
so we have to take tissue from the palate
and place it in that area.

00:00:28.899 --> 00:00:30.776
We do osseous resection of the bone.

00:00:30.963 --> 00:00:32.200
We do bone grafting.

00:00:32.324 --> 00:00:37.073
A lot of times, if we have to remove teeth
that have had root canals,

00:00:37.156 --> 00:00:40.409
we take out the tooth,
put a bone graft in the socket site

00:00:40.742 --> 00:00:42.869
with a membrane over it,
and then place an implant

00:00:43.286 --> 00:00:44.329
three months later.

00:00:44.787 --> 00:00:47.790
The mouth is divided into four quadrants,

00:00:48.123 --> 00:00:50.292
upper right, upper left,
lower right, lower left.

00:00:51.001 --> 00:00:54.324
Usually if they need it,
if it's a severe case,

00:00:54.837 --> 00:00:57.089
what we'll do is we'll scale
and replanting first,

00:00:57.756 --> 00:00:59.425
we will measure all the pockets,

00:00:59.716 --> 00:01:03.428
and then at that point, we'll go ahead
and do one quadrant at a time.

00:01:04.262 --> 00:01:07.640
Every two, we'll do one quadrant,
remove the sutures two weeks later,

00:01:07.723 --> 00:01:09.183
do another quadrant that way.

00:01:09.403 --> 00:01:12.352
Sometimes a patient wants to do
two quadrants at a time,

00:01:12.936 --> 00:01:15.534
and we do that quite frequently.

00:01:15.617 --> 00:01:20.150
After a quadrant of surgery
where they have bone grafting,

00:01:20.734 --> 00:01:24.570
they should be without pain
in about three days.

00:01:25.154 --> 00:01:28.115
Then we take the sutures out
in about 10–12 days.

00:01:28.699 --> 00:01:30.184
At that particular point in time,

00:01:30.284 --> 00:01:32.869
they'll feel much, much better
after the sutures out.

00:01:32.952 --> 00:01:36.539
Probably two weeks, they're fully healed.

00:01:37.331 --> 00:01:40.042
Of course, the bone grafts won't take
for another two months,

00:01:40.125 --> 00:01:43.420
but they're covered with good,
solid, clean tissue.

00:01:43.503 --> 00:01:46.672
What I think separates us is our staff

00:01:47.548 --> 00:01:51.009
and the fact that we keep up
with all the latest technology.
