Dental Problems in Burke, VA

At Washington Periodontics, Board-Certified Periodontist Dr. Christine Karapetian and her team address several gum tissue concerns to improve oral health. We provide customized surgical and non-surgical care to resolve these dental problems:

Bleeding Gums & Infection Control

We evaluate common causes of bleeding gums to get to the bottom of your concern and create the right plan to address it.  Our bleeding gums treatment in Burke, VA stops bacterial spread and reverses tissue inflammation to prevent progression of gum disease. If you suffer from bleeding gums in Burke, VA, seek care today.

Gum Recession & Tissue Restoration

Periodontal disease or aggressive brushing are two common causes of gum recession in Burke. As gum tissue pulls away, it exposes the tooth roots, which are sensitive and more prone to decay.  

Dr. Karapetian provides advanced gum recession treatment in Burke, VA. Solutions may include minimally invasive tissue grafting to cover exposed roots and prevent further tissue loss.

Sensitive Teeth Management

Receding gum tissue commonly causes chronic tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods. Sensitivity can be incredibly uncomfortable, making it hard to enjoy your everyday meals. We offer solutions to address the underlying causes. With gum grafting, for example, we restore the tissue over the roots to renew your comfort. 

Persistent Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Odor-producing bacteria hidden deep periodontal pockets can lcausepersistent bad breath. Our specialized deep cleanings and periodontal maintenance eliminate the bacterial colonies and resolve halitosis.

Jawbone Loss & Reconstruction

Unchecked periodontal disease or missing teeth eventually damage your jawbone, leading to bone loss. Bone loss compromises tooth stability, leads to sunken in facial appearance, and can make it harder to replace teeth later. Through bone grafting, we rebuild jawbone volume. We also provide implant dentistry for tooth replacement to renew jawbone stimulation.

Missing Teeth Solutions

A missing tooth leaves a gap that invites nearby teeth to shift into it. Additionally, the jawbone loses stimulation when a tooth is lost. We provide permanent replacement options, including dental implants, to restore your smile. Regain full chewing function and prevent structural shifting by replacing the missing tooth.
