Frequently Asked Questions About Our Moorestown Area Periodontist Practice
Our practice offers a complete range of periodontal services for Moorestown patients, including scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, gum grafting, dental implants, crown lengthening, bone grafting, and treatment for all stages of gum disease. We also provide state-of-the-art diagnostic services using digital technology to ensure accurate treatment planning and care for all our patients from Moorestown and beyond.
For most patients with a history of periodontal disease, we recommend maintenance visits every three to four months. This schedule helps prevent disease recurrence and allows us to monitor your oral health closely. However, the exact frequency depends on your specific condition and how well you respond to treatment. During your visit from Moorestown, Dr. Calem will evaluate your needs and create a personalized maintenance schedule.
We understand many Moorestown patients may feel anxious about periodontal treatment. Your comfort is our priority, which is why we use topical and local anesthetics during procedures like scaling and root planing. For more extensive treatments, we offer sedation options. Most patients report minimal discomfort during their procedures, and any post-treatment soreness can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Most dental insurance plans provide some coverage for periodontal treatments, particularly diagnostic services and non-surgical procedures. The extent of coverage varies depending on your specific plan and the treatments required. Our knowledgeable office staff works with Moorestown patients to maximize their insurance benefits and can help explain your coverage before beginning treatment. We also offer payment plans to make your care more affordable.
Recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of periodontal surgery performed. For minor procedures, most Moorestown patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. More extensive surgeries might require a few days of reduced activity. Dr. Calem will provide detailed post-operative instructions and follow-up care to ensure optimal healing. Most patients find that any discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter medications.
