Periodontics

At SoundBridge Center for Dental Arts, maintaining the health and vitality of your gums has never been easier and more rewarding. When it comes to assessing and treating your periodontal needs, you can count on Dr. Bloomquist and her hygienist for thorough, responsive therapy.

Dr. Bloomquist makes screening for gum disease educational and rewarding. She and her hygienist are committed to relaying the true status of your periodontal (gum) health at each maintenance visit. Look forward to receiving information on pocketing, bone loss, recession, mobility, and in addition-specific information about toothbrushing and flossing tailored to your individual dental hygiene needs.

“Periodontal disease puts patients at risk for heart and lung disease, diabetes, premature and low birth weight babies, and many other systemic diseases.”

The advanced technology of soft-tissue laser therapy helps her focus on eliminating the root of the cause for treatment that is focused on complete periodontal health. There are many aspects to treating gum disease, the SoundBridge team will spend time working to educate you and treat you and your disease with total health as the goal. To regulate your perfectly healthy smile, look forward to maintenance checkups every six months or in some cases, deep periodontal cleanings with maintenance every 3 to 4 months.

Protecting your health doesn’t stop at periodontal treatment. For aid in detection of oral cancers, Dr. Bloomquist implements the Velscope, an advanced oral cancer detection tool. This technology detects variation in oral soft tissues through florescence, alerting Dr. Bloomquist of potential abnormalities which could lead to oral cancer. Detection of any lesion in their earliest stages is the key to long term health.
