Norfolk New York Dentist

Periodontics is a specialty field of dentistry involved in the prevention and treatment of gum disease. Our goal at Zysik Dental, your local Norfolk NY dentist office, is to keep the gums and jaw bone healthy and disease-free. Regular dental appointments and cleanings with Dr. Zysik are Zysik Dental are so important because a proper cleaning can remove the plaque and tartar build up that cannot be successfully removed with just brushing and flossing. Excessive buildup of plaque along and under the gum line can cause periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease. If periodontitis is left untreated either by periodontal surgery, root planing or scaling at Zysik Dental, your teeth will eventually become loose and could require tooth extraction.

Massena Non-Surgical Periodontics


At Zysik Dental, our Massena periodontics specialists offer non-surgical periodontal therapy to battle against gum disease and bring you one step closer to a healthy mouth. Non-surgical periodontics at Zysik Dental can correct bone loss using scaling and root planing, a process in which toxins are physically scrapped off the root of the tooth, allowing the gum to reattach itself to the root. This process can reverse the need to extraction a tooth, save your natural teeth, and prevent the need for future periodontal surgery. Scaling and root planing are usually performed under local anesthesia to avoid patient discomfort. Depending on the amount of plaque or tartar deposits on the tooth, non-surgical periodontics may require anywhere from two to four visits to Zysik Dental for successful treatment.
