Dr. Azam Saeed performs a detailed periodontal exam at our Chicago dental office, measuring pocket depths around each tooth using a periodontal probe. Healthy gums measure 1–3mm, while infected gums often measure 4mm or deeper. Digital X-rays evaluate bone loss patterns and help determine the severity of gum disease so your treatment plan is precise and personalized.
For patients with moderate to advanced gum disease in Chicago, Dr. Saeed gently numbs the gums for comfort before performing scaling and root planing. Using ultrasonic instruments and hand tools, he removes hardened tartar and bacteria from beneath the gumline. Root surfaces are smoothed to discourage future bacterial attachment. Treatment is typically completed over two to four visits at our Chicago practice.
For deeper periodontal pockets, localized antibiotic therapy may be placed directly into infected areas. This helps eliminate bacteria that scaling alone cannot reach. The medication releases gradually over several days, continuing to fight infection between your Chicago appointments.
After treatment, gums begin to heal and reattach over the following weeks. Dr. Saeed schedules a follow-up visit at ACE Dental Center in Chicago to reassess pocket depths and monitor healing. Patients transition into periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months to prevent recurrence and protect long-term oral health.
