Treatment Methods
Dr. Colón’s practice provides a variety of surgical services. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary.
Many times, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Even in severe cases, non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical therapy. This is done to improve the overall tissue quality prior to surgery and also to help limit the areas requiring surgery.
Dr. Colón believes in the treatment of periodontal disease as you would any other risk factor for systemic health and well being. Periodontal Disease is considered a modifiable risk factor for a number of systemic conditions. Prevention, early detection and treatment with maintenance are the keys.
