Gum Health & Oral Health Maintenance

Good oral health is essential to taking care of your overall well-being. After all, your mouth is the entry point to your respiratory system and digestive system - the distribution center of nutrients for energy, growth, and cell repair. MK Periodontics and Implants offers a Overall approach to gum health that supports your overall health goals. Dr. Karbakhsch, Dr. Katafuchi, and our team are here to help you feel comfortable and confident in a treatment plan designed just for you.

Prioritize Your Gum Health

Like a healthy plant in fertile soil, your teeth can remain healthy and thrive in the right environment. Our goal is to protect your oral health, especially your gums—the foundation of your teeth and the bone that supports them.Since no two treatment plans are the same, we conduct a comprehensive examination and review your medical, dental, and prescription histories to evaluate the following accurately:

• Bite
• Bone structure
• Gums
• Plaque
• Teeth
• Risk factors

‍

Then, we tailor your treatment plan to improve your gum health and save your teeth while promoting whole-body health.

We Are Your Partner

We want your smile to be healthy from the inside out. Overall oral health maintenance treats the person behind the smile by focusing on your unique needs and tailoring your care to your health condition. We partner with your medical doctor and dentist to create treatment plans that complement your health requirements. And we partner with you—walking you through the process of getting the care you need and helping you understand how habits support your well-being.

Solution-oriented Care

Instead of fixing problems, Dr. Karbakhsch and Dr. Katafuchi are concerned about treating your oral health issues at the source to prevent them from recurring. Depending on your goals and preferences, our patient education includes recommendations for aftercare that may involve food and nutrition choices, oral hygiene habits, or follow-up visits with your dentist or doctor.
